19Psalms

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The Lord, the Sun of Righteousness. Psalm 19(v18)
1 The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

 
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night declares knowledge.

 
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
their voice is not heard;

 
4 yet their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.

In them he has set a tent for the sun,

 
5 which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and like a strong man runs its course with joy.

 
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them;
and there is nothing hid from its heat.

 
7 The law of Yahweh is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of Yahweh is sure, making wise the simple;

 
8 the precepts of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes;

 
9 the fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring for ever;
the ordinances of Yahweh are true, and righteous altogether.

 
10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

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

 
12 But who can discern his errors?
Clear me from hidden faults.
 
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall 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, O Yahweh,
my rock and my redeemer.

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes ?
