Psalm 19 (WEBP)

[1] The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
[2] Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
[3] There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
[4] Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
[5] which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
[6] His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
[7] Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
[8] Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
[9] The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
[10] They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
[11] Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.
[12] Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
[13] Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
[14] Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.

Psalm 19 (KJVS)

[1] The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork.
[2] Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night sheweth knowledge.
[3] There is no speech nor language, Where their voice is not 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,
[5] Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
[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 the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
[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 the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
[10] More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
[11] Moreover by them is thy servant warned: And in keeping of them there is great reward.
[12] Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret 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.
[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.
