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. | ||
