Psalm 19 - Young's Literal Translation

1410-450 BC 162 years ago Bible

1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens `are' recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse `is' declaring.

2 Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.

3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.

4 Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,

5 And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.

6 From the end of the heavens `is' his going out, And his revolution `is' unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.

7 The law of Jehovah `is' perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah `are' stedfast, Making wise the simple,

8 The precepts of Jehovah `are' upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah `is' pure, enlightening the eyes,

9 The fear of Jehovah `is' clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah `are' true, They have been righteous -- together.

10 They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.

11 Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them `is' a great reward.'

12 Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,

13 Also -- from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression,

14 Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!
