Psalm 19 (YLT)

Young's Literal Translation

1 To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. The heavens <FI>are<Fi> recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse <FI>is<Fi> declaring.

2 Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.

3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.

4 Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,

5 And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.

6 From the end of the heavens <FI>is<Fi> his going out, And his revolution <FI>is<Fi> unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.

7 The law of Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah <FI>are<Fi> stedfast, Making wise the simple,

8 The precepts of Jehovah <FI>are<Fi> upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> pure, enlightening the eyes,

9 The fear of Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah <FI>are<Fi> true, They have been righteous--together.

10 They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.

11 Also--Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them <FI>is<Fi> a great reward.'

12 Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,

13 Also--from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression,

14 Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!
