To the Director of Music:
A Psalm of David
19:2
הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם מְֽסַפְּרִ֥ים כְּבֽוֹד־אֵ֑ל
The heavens are declaring the Glory of God,
וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָ֝דָ֗יו מַגִּ֥יד הָרָקִֽיעַ׃
And the firmament is publishing the work of His hands;
19:3
י֣וֹם לְ֭יוֹם יַבִּ֣יעַֽ אֹ֑מֶר
Day unto day it streams forth news,
וְלַ֥יְלָה לְּ֝לַ֗יְלָה יְחַוֶּה־דָּֽעַת׃
And night unto night it is making knowledge known;
19:4
אֵֽין־אֹ֭מֶר וְאֵ֣ין דְּבָרִ֑ים
There is no utterance and there aren’t any words,
בְּ֝לִ֗י נִשְׁמָ֥ע קוֹלָֽם׃
Without their voice being heard;
19:5
בְּכָל־הָאָ֨רֶץ ׀ יָ֘צָ֤א קַוָּ֗ם וּבִקְצֵ֣ה תֵ֭בֵל מִלֵּיהֶ֑ם
Through the whole earth their chord has gone forth,
and their sayings into the far reaches of the globe;
לַ֝שֶּׁ֗מֶשׁ שָֽׂם־אֹ֥הֶל בָּהֶֽם׃
For the sun He has ordained a tabernacle within them;
19:6
וְה֗וּא כְּ֭חָתָן יֹצֵ֣א מֵחֻפָּת֑וֹ
And He is as a Bridegroom going forth from His chamber;
יָשִׂ֥ישׂ כְּ֝גִבּ֗וֹר לָר֥וּץ אֹֽרַח׃
He is rejoicing as a mighty man to be running a track;
19:7
מִקְצֵ֤ה הַשָּׁמַ֨יִם ׀ מֽוֹצָא֗וֹ וּתְקוּפָת֥וֹ עַל־קְצוֹתָ֑ם
“From the edge of the heavens, from His going forth,
and His circuit unto their extremities,
וְאֵ֥ין נִ֝סְתָּ֗ר מֵֽחַמָּתוֹ׃
There are none hidden from His Glow;”
19:8
תּ֘וֹרַ֤ת יְהוָ֣ה תְּ֭מִימָה מְשִׁ֣יבַת נָ֑פֶשׁ
“The Torah (instruction, direction) of Yehovah has integrity,
restoring a person;
עֵד֥וּת יְהוָ֥ה נֶ֝אֱמָנָ֗ה
The Witness of Yehovah is Faithfull,
מַחְכִּ֥ימַת פֶּֽתִי׃
Making wise one lacking wisdom;”
19:9
פִּקּ֘וּדֵ֤י יְהוָ֣ה יְ֭שָׁרִים מְשַׂמְּחֵי־לֵ֑ב
“The regulations of Yehovah are upright,
Making for a happy heart;
מִצְוַ֥ת יְהוָ֥ה בָּ֝רָ֗ה
The commandment of Yehovah is pure,
מְאִירַ֥ת עֵינָֽיִם׃
Giving eyes light;”
19:10
יִרְאַ֤ת יְהוָ֨ה ׀ טְהוֹרָה֮ עוֹמֶ֢דֶת לָ֫עַ֥ד
“The reverential fear of Yehovah is pure,
enduring forever,
מִֽשְׁפְּטֵי־יְהוָ֥ה אֱמֶ֑ת
Yehovah’s Judgments are True;
צָֽדְק֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃
They are altogether Righteous;”
Revelation 16:7 King James Version
“And I heard another out of the altar say,
‘Even so, Lord God Almighty,
true and righteous are thy judgments.’ ”
19:11
הַֽנֶּחֱמָדִ֗ים מִ֭זָּהָב וּמִפַּ֣ז רָ֑ב
“They are desirable, more than gold,
Yea more than abundant pure gold!—
וּמְתוּקִ֥ים מִ֝דְּבַ֗שׁ
Moreover sweeter than honey,
וְנֹ֣פֶת צוּפִֽים׃
Yea virgin liquid honey of a honeycomb!”
19:12
גַּֽם־עַ֭בְדְּךָ נִזְהָ֣ר בָּהֶ֑ם
“Furthermore your servant
is being warned by them:
בְּ֝שָׁמְרָ֗ם
In retaining them,
עֵ֣קֶב רָֽב׃
The end result is great!”
19:13
שְׁגִיא֥וֹת מִֽי־יָבִ֑ין
“Who can discern strayful errors?!
מִֽנִּסְתָּר֥וֹת נַקֵּֽנִי׃
Acquit me from hidden things!”
19:14
גַּ֤ם מִזֵּדִ֨ים ׀ חֲשֹׂ֬ךְ עַבְדֶּ֗ךָ
Moreover spare your servant from arrogancies,
אַֽל־יִמְשְׁלוּ־בִ֣י אָ֣ז אֵיתָ֑ם
Let them not have control over me then I will be unscathed;
וְ֝נִקֵּ֗יתִי
And so I will be without blame,
מִפֶּ֥שַֽׁע רָֽב׃
From great transgression!”
Romans 12:3 King James Version
“For I say, through the grace given unto me,
to every man that is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think;
but to think soberly,
according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”
2 Samuel 6:16 King James Version
And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David,
Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window,
and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD;
and she despised him in her heart.
19:15
יִֽהְי֥וּ לְרָצֹ֨ון ׀
“According to the Divine Will and Favour may they be, —
אִמְרֵי־פִ֡י
The utterances of my mouth,
וְהֶגְי֣וֹן לִבִּ֣י לְפָנֶ֑יךָ
and the thoughts and music of my heart before Thee,
יְ֝הוָ֗ה
O Yehovah,
צוּרִ֥י וְגֹאֲלִֽי׃
My Rock and my Redeemer!”
