For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. (MT 19:2; LXX 18:1; LXX 18:2; Rahlfs 18:1; Rahlfs 18:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
2Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. (MT 19:3; LXX 18:3; Rahlfs 18:3)
הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם מְֽסַפְּרִ֥ים כְּבֽוֹד־אֵ֑ל וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָ֝דָ֗יו מַגִּ֥יד הָרָקִֽיעַ׃
3Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard, (MT 19:4; LXX 18:4; Rahlfs 18:4)
י֣וֹם לְ֭יוֹם יַבִּ֣יעַֽ אֹ֑מֶר וְלַ֥יְלָה לְּ֝לַ֗יְלָה יְחַוֶּה־דָּֽעַת׃
4their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun. (MT 19:5; LXX 18:5; Rahlfs 18:5)
אֵֽין־אֹ֭מֶר וְאֵ֣ין דְּבָרִ֑ים בְּ֝לִ֗י נִשְׁמָ֥ע קוֹלָֽם׃
5Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course, (MT 19:6; LXX 18:6; Rahlfs 18:6)
בְּכָל־הָאָ֨רֶץ ׀ יָ֘צָ֤א קַוָּ֗ם וּבִקְצֵ֣ה תֵ֭בֵל מִלֵּיהֶ֑ם לַ֝שֶּׁ֗מֶשׁ שָֽׂם־אֹ֥הֶל בָּהֶֽם׃
6it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth. (MT 19:7; LXX 18:7; Rahlfs 18:7)
וְה֗וּא כְּ֭חָתָן יֹצֵ֣א מֵחֻפָּת֑וֹ יָשִׂ֥ישׂ כְּ֝גִבּ֗וֹר לָר֥וּץ אֹֽרַח׃
7The Law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making wise the simple. (MT 19:8; LXX 18:8; Rahlfs 18:8)
מִקְצֵ֤ה הַשָּׁמַ֨יִם ׀ מֽוֹצָא֗וֹ וּתְקוּפָת֥וֹ עַל־קְצוֹתָ֑ם וְאֵ֥ין נִ֝סְתָּ֗ר מֵֽחַמָּתוֹ׃
8The precepts of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. (MT 19:9; LXX 18:9; Rahlfs 18:9)
תּ֘וֹרַ֤ת יְהוָ֣ה תְּ֭מִימָה מְשִׁ֣יבַת נָ֑פֶשׁ עֵד֥וּת יְהוָ֥ה נֶ֝אֱמָנָ֗ה מַחְכִּ֥ימַת פֶּֽתִי׃
9The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true, being altogether righteous. (MT 19:10; LXX 18:10; Rahlfs 18:10)
פִּקּ֘וּדֵ֤י יְהוָ֣ה יְ֭שָׁרִים מְשַׂמְּחֵי־לֵ֑ב מִצְוַ֥ת יְהוָ֥ה בָּ֝רָ֗ה מְאִירַ֥ת עֵינָֽיִם׃
10They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. (MT 19:11; LXX 18:11; Rahlfs 18:11)
יִרְאַ֤ת יְהוָ֨ה ׀ טְהוֹרָה֮ עוֹמֶ֪דֶת לָ֫עַ֥ד מִֽשְׁפְּטֵי־יְהוָ֥ה אֱמֶ֑ת צָֽדְק֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃
11By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward. (MT 19:12; LXX 18:12; Rahlfs 18:12)
הַֽנֶּחֱמָדִ֗ים מִ֭זָּהָב וּמִפַּ֣ז רָ֑ב וּמְתוּקִ֥ים מִ֝דְּבַ֗שׁ וְנֹ֣פֶת צוּפִֽים׃
12Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults. (MT 19:13; LXX 18:13; Rahlfs 18:13)
גַּֽם־עַ֭בְדְּךָ נִזְהָ֣ר בָּהֶ֑ם בְּ֝שָׁמְרָ֗ם עֵ֣קֶב רָֽב׃
13Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression. (MT 19:14; LXX 18:14; Rahlfs 18:14)
שְׁגִיא֥וֹת מִֽי־יָבִ֑ין מִֽנִּסְתָּר֥וֹת נַקֵּֽנִי׃
14May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. (MT 19:15; LXX 18:15; Rahlfs 18:15)
גַּ֤ם מִזֵּדִ֨ים ׀ חֲשֹׂ֬ךְ עַבְדֶּ֗ךָ אַֽל־יִמְשְׁלוּ־בִ֣י אָ֣ז אֵיתָ֑ם וְ֝נִקֵּ֗יתִי מִפֶּ֥שַֽׁע רָֽב׃
