Psalms 19

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