Psalm 19 — Legacy Standard Bible

The Law of Yahweh Is Perfect

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

The ^aheavens are telling of the glory of God;And the ^bexpanse is declaring the work of His hands.²Day to ^aday pours forth ¹speech,And ^bnight to night reveals knowledge.³There is no ¹speech, nor are there words;Their voice is not heard.⁴Their ¹^,^aline has gone out through all the earth,And their utterances to the end of the world.In them He has ^bplaced a tent for the sun,⁵Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.⁶Its ^arising is from ¹one end of the heavens,And its circuit to the ²other end of them;And there is nothing hidden from its heat.⁷^aThe law of Yahweh is ¹^,^bperfect, ^crestoring the soul;The testimony of Yahweh is ^dsure, making ^ewise the simple.⁸The precepts of Yahweh are ^aright, ^brejoicing the heart;The commandment of Yahweh is ^cpure, ^denlightening the eyes.⁹The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever;The judgments of Yahweh are ^atrue; they are ^brighteous altogether.¹⁰They are more desirable than ^agold, even more than much fine gold;^bSweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.¹¹Moreover, by them ^aYour slave is warned;In keeping them there is great ^breward.¹²Who can ^adiscern his errors? ^bAcquit me of ^chidden faults.¹³Also keep back Your slave ^afrom presumptuous sins;Let them not ^brule over me;Then I will be ¹^,^cblameless,And I shall be acquitted of ^dgreat transgression.¹⁴Let the ¹words of my mouth and ^athe meditation of my heartBe acceptable in Your sight,O Yahweh, ^bmy rock and my ^cRedeemer.
