Parallel
Psalms 19
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
The heavens declare the glory of God.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
Day after day they pour out speech,
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
There is no speech nor language
Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard (note: Or There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard),
Their voice has gone out through all the earth,
their voice (note: LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate; Hebrew their measuring line) has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world (note: Cited in Romans 10:18). In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room,
Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,
His going out is from the end of the heavens,
it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.
The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.
The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart.
The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever.
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.
They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold,
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
Moreover your servant is warned by them.
By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.
Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
