Psalms 19

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.	1 [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David] The heavens declare the glory of God, the vault of heavenproclaims his handiwork,
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.	2 day discourses of it to day, night to night hands on the knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.	3 No utterance at al , no speech, not a sound to be heard,
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,	4 but from the entire earth the design stands out, this message reaches the whole world. High above, hepitched a tent for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.	5 who comes forth from his pavilion like a bridegroom, delights like a champion in the course to be run.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.	6 Rising on the one horizon he runs his circuit to the other, and nothing can escape his heat.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.	7 The Law of Yahweh is perfect, refreshment to the soul; the decree of Yahweh is trustworthy, wisdomfor the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.	8 The precepts of Yahweh are honest, joy for the heart; the commandment of Yahweh is pure, light forthe eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.	9 The fear of Yahweh is pure, lasting for ever; the judgements of Yahweh are true, upright, every one,
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.	10 more desirable than gold, even than the finest gold; his words are sweeter than honey, that dripsfrom the comb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.	11 Thus your servant is formed by them; observing them brings great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.	12 But who can detect his own failings? Wash away my hidden faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.	13 And from pride preserve your servant, never let it be my master. So shal I be above reproach, freefrom grave sin.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.	14 May the words of my mouth always find favour, and the whispering of my heart, in your presence,Yahweh, my rock, my redeemer.
