Psalm 19

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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