1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Psalms 19

1 The creatures shew God's glory. 7 The Word his grace. 12 David prayeth for grace.

 19:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.]] The heavens declare the glory of *God; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.

 19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

 19:3 There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard.

 19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,

 19:5 And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.

 19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

 19:7 The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;

 19:8 The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;

 19:9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:

 19:10 They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.

 19:11 Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.

 19:12 Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify me from secret [faults].

 19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.

 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
