Psalm 19
19
The Law of the Lord Is Perfect
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1 #
Ps. 50:6; [Rom. 1:19, 20] The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above#19:1 Hebrew the expanse; compare Genesis 1:6–8 proclaims his handiwork.
2Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4 # Cited Rom. 10:18 Their #[Isa. 28:10] voice#19:4 Or Their measuring line goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for #[Eccles. 1:5]the sun,
5 # [Judg. 5:31] which comes out like #Joel 2:16a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
6Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them,
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 #
Rom. 7:12 The law of the Lord is perfect,#19:7 Or blameless
#
Ps. 23:3; [2 Tim. 3:16] reviving the soul;
#
Ex. 25:16; See Ps. 78:5 the testimony of the Lord is #Ps. 111:7 sure,
# [Matt. 11:25; 1 Cor. 1:27; 2 Tim. 3:15] making wise #Ps. 119:130; Prov. 1:4the simple;
8 #
Ps. 103:18; 111:7; 119:4, 27 the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is #[Ps. 12:6] pure,
# See Ps. 13:3 enlightening the eyes;
9the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules#19:9 Or just decrees of the Lord are #Ps. 119:142, 151, 160true,
and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than #Ps. 119:72, 127; Prov. 8:10 gold,
even much #Job 28:17; Prov. 8:19 fine gold;
#
Ps. 119:103 sweeter also than honey
and drippings of #Prov. 16:24the honeycomb.
11Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
# [Prov. 29:18] in keeping them there is great reward.
12 #
Ps. 40:12; [1 Cor. 4:4] Who can discern his errors?
# [Lev. 4:2; Num. 15:27] Declare me innocent from #Ps. 90:8; See Job 34:32hidden faults.
13 #
Gen. 20:6; 1 Sam. 25:33, 34, 39 Keep back your servant also from #[Num. 15:30] presumptuous sins;
let them not have #Ps. 119:133; Rom. 6:12, 14dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my #See Ps. 18:2 rock and my #See Job 19:25redeemer.

Psalms 19

Glory from Heaven and Torah
1For the music director, a psalm of David.
2The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky shows His handiwork.
3Day to day they speak, night to night they reveal knowledge.
4There is no speech, no words, where their voice goes unheard.
5Their voice has gone out to all the earth and their words to the end of the world. In the heavens He pitched a tent for the sun.
6It is like a bridegroom coming out of his bridal chamber. It is like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
7It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other end. Nothing is hidden from its heat.
8The Torah of Adonai is perfect, restoring the soul. The testimony of Adonai is trustworthy, making the simple wise.
9The precepts of Adonai are right, giving joy to the heart. The mitzvot of Adonai are pure, giving light to the eyes.
10The fear of Adonai is clean, enduring forever. The judgments of Adonai are true and altogether righteous.
11They are more desirable than gold, yes, more than much pure gold! They are sweeter than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
12Moreover by them Your servant is warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
13Who can discern his errors? Cleanse me of hidden faults.
14Also keep Your servant from willful sins. May they not have dominion over me. Then I will be blameless, free from great transgression.
15May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, Adonai, my Rock and my Redeemer.
