19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and their expanse declares the work of His hands. |
19:2 Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. |
19:3 No speech exists , no one hears words; No one hears their voice . |
19:4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun, |
19:5 Which resembles a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. |
19:6 Its rising moves from one end of the heavens, and its circuit to the other end of them; And nothing can hide from its heat. |
19:7 The law of the LORD encompasses perfection, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD proves sure, making wise the simple. |
19:8 The precepts of the LORD prove right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD encompasses purity, enlightening the eyes. |
19:9 The fear of the LORD remains clean, enduring forever; the LORD's judgments prove true, altogether righteous. |
19:10 They prove more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. |
19:11 Moreover, by them Your servant receive warning;In keeping them we find great reward. |
19:12 Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults. |
19:13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will remain blameless, and I shall receive acquittal of great transgression. |
19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart prove acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. |
