Psalm 19
Smith's Literal Translation Par ▾ 

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God

1To the overseer; chanting of David. The heavens recounting the glory of God, and the firmament announcing the work of his hands.

2Day to day will gush out the saying, and night to night will breathe out knowledge.

3No saying and no words without their voice being heard.

4Their line went forth into all the earth, and their words into the ends of the habitable globe. In them he set a tent for the sun.

5And he as a bridegroom coming forth from his nuptial couch, will rejoice as a strong one to run a way.

6From the extremity of the heavens his going forth and his circuits upon their extremities and no hiding from his heat.

7The law of Jehovah is blameless, turning back the soul; the testimonies of Jehovah being faithful, making wise the simple.

8The mandates of Jehovah are straight, rejoicing the heart: the command of Jehovah pure, enlightening the eyes.

9The fear of Jehovah being pure, standing forever: the judgments of Jehovah, truth, they were altogether just.

10Being desirable above gold, and above much pure gold, and being sweet above honey, and the dropping of honey-combs.

11Also thy servant being admonished by them: in watching them much reward.

12Who will understand errors? acquit me from hidden things.

13Also withhold thy servant from arrogant things; they shall not rule over me: then shall I be blameless, and I was acquitted from much transgression.

14The saying of my mouth and the meditation of my heart shall be for acceptance before thee, O Jehovah, my rock and my redeemer.
