Zabur 19
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by Dawud.
1The heavens declare the glory of God.
The expanse shows his handiwork.
2Day after day they pour forth speech,
And night after night they display knowledge.
3There is no speech nor language,
Where their voice is not heard.
4Their sound has
gone out through all the earth,
Their words to the end of the world.[1]
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of
his chamber,
Like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6His going forth is from the end of the
heavens,
His circuit to its ends;
There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7The Taurat of Allah is perfect, restoring the soul.
Allah's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
8Allah's precepts are right, rejoicing the
heart.
Allah's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9The fear of Allah is clean, enduring
forever.
Allah's ordinances are true, and righteous
altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold,
yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the extract of the
honeycomb.
11Moreover by them is your servant warned.
In keeping them there is great reward.
12Who can discern his errors?
Forgive me from hidden errors.
13Keep back your servant also from
presumptuous sins.
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I will be upright,
I will be blameless and innocent of great
transgression.
14Let the words of my mouth and the
meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in your sight,
Allah, my rock, and my redeemer.
