Variety: Psalm 19

¹ The heavens declare the glory of God.
    The expanse shows his handiwork.
² Day after day they pour out speech,
    and night after night they display knowledge.
³ There is no speech nor language,
    where their voice is not heard.
⁴ Their voice has gone out through all the earth,
    their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
⁵     which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room,
    like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
⁶ His going out is from the end of the heavens,
    his circuit to its ends.
    There is nothing hidden from its heat.

⁷ Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.
    Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
⁸ Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart.
    Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
⁹ The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever.
    Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
¹⁰ They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold,
    sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
¹¹ Moreover your servant is warned by them.
    In keeping them there is great reward.
¹² Who can discern his errors?
    Forgive me from hidden errors.

¹³ Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.
    Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I will be upright.
    I will 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,
    Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
