For the Leader. A Psalm of David

19:002

The heavens declare the glory of G-d, and the firmament showeth His handiwork

19:003

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night revealeth knowledge

19:004

There is no speech, there are no words, neither is their voice heard

19:005

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tent for the sun

19:006

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course

19:007

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof

19:008

The law of HaShem is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of HaShem is sure, making wise the simple

19:009

The precepts of HaShem are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of HaShem is pure, enlightening the eyes

19:010

The fear of HaShem is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of HaShem are true, they are righteous altogether

19:011

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb

19:012

Moreover by them is Thy servant warned; in keeping of them there is great reward

19:013

Who can discern his errors? Clear Thou me from hidden faults

19:014

Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, that they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, and I shall be clear from great transgression

19:015

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee, O HaShem, my Rock, and my Redeemer
