Psalms, Chapter 19

1 For the conductor, a psalm of David.

2 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament tells the work of His hands.

3 Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night expresses knowledge.

4 There is no speech and there are no words; their voice is not heard.

5 Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world;

in them He has set a tent for the sun,

6 which is like a bridegroom coming out of his canopy; it rejoices like a mighty man to run its course.

7 Its going forth is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to their ends; and nothing is hidden from its heat.

8 The Torah of Hashem is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Hashem is faithful, making the simple wise.

9 The precepts of Hashem are upright, gladdening the heart; the commandment of Hashem is clear, enlightening the eyes.

10 The fear of Hashem is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of Hashem are true, altogether righteous.

11 They are more desirable than gold, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

12 Your servant too is careful with them; in keeping them there is great reward.

13 Who can discern errors? Cleanse me of hidden faults.

14 Hold back Your servant also from willful sins; let them not rule over me — then I shall be blameless,

and cleansed of great transgression.

15 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You,

Hashem, my Rock and my Redeemer.
