Psalm
To the director. A melody of David.
19 The heavens are declaring the glory of God;*+
And of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.+
2 One day after another day causes speech to bubble forth,+
And one night after another night shows forth knowledge.+
4 Into all the earth their measuring line* has gone out,+
And to the extremity of the productive land* their utterances.+
In them he has set a tent for the sun,+
5 And it is like a bridegroom when coming out of his nuptial chamber;+
It exults as a mighty man does to run in a path.+
6 From one extremity of the heavens is its going forth,
And its [finished] circuit is to their [other] extremities;+
And there is nothing concealed from its heat.+
7 The law+ of Jehovah is perfect,+ bringing back the soul.+
The reminder+ of Jehovah is trustworthy,+ making the inexperienced one wise.+
8 The orders+ from Jehovah are upright,+ causing the heart to rejoice;+
The commandment+ of Jehovah is clean,+ making the eyes shine.+
9 The fear+ of Jehovah is pure, standing forever.
The judicial decisions+ of Jehovah are true;*+ they have proved altogether righteous.+
10 They are more to be desired than gold,* yes, than much refined gold;*+
And sweeter than honey+ and the flowing honey of the combs.+
