Psalms 19

1 Heaven is declaring God's glory; the sky is proclaiming his handiwork.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

2 One day gushes the news to the next, and one night informs another what needs to be known.

2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

3 Of course, there's no speech, no words— their voices can't be heard—

3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.

4 but their sound extends throughout the world; their words reach the ends of the earth. God has made a tent in heaven for the sun.

4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.

5 The sun is like a groom coming out of his honeymoon suite; like a warrior, it thrills at running its course.

5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

6 It rises in one end of the sky; its circuit is complete at the other. Nothing escapes its heat.

6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

7 The LORD's Instruction is perfect, reviving one's very being. The LORD's laws are faithful, making naive people wise.

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

8 The LORD's regulations are right, gladdening the heart. The LORD's commands are pure, giving light to the eyes.

8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

9 Honoring the LORD is correct, lasting forever. The LORD's judgments are true. All of these are righteous!

9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the LORD are firm, and all of them are righteous.

10 They are more desirable than gold— than tons of pure gold! They are sweeter than honey— even dripping off the honeycomb!

10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.

11 No doubt about it: your servant is enlightened by them; there is great reward in keeping them.

11 By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

12 But can anyone know what they've accidentally done wrong? Clear me of any unknown sin

12 But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.

13 and save your servant from willful sins. Don't let them rule me. Then I'll be completely blameless; I'll be innocent of great wrongdoing.

13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you, LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
