Psalm 19
King James Version
19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalm 19
Amplified Bible
The Works and the Word of God.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
19 The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands.(A)
2
Day after day pours forth speech,
And night after night reveals knowledge.
3
There is no speech, nor are there [spoken] words [from the stars];
Their voice is not heard.
4
Yet their voice [in quiet evidence] has gone out through all the earth,
Their words to the end of the world.
In them and in the heavens He has made a tent for the sun,(B)
5
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
6
The sun’s rising is from one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7
The law of the Lord is perfect (flawless), restoring and refreshing the soul;
The statutes of the Lord are reliable and trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8
The precepts of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true, they are righteous altogether.
10
They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
11
Moreover, by them Your servant is warned [reminded, illuminated, and instructed];
In keeping them there is great reward.
12
Who can understand his errors or omissions? Acquit me of hidden (unconscious, unintended) faults.
13
Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous (deliberate, willful) sins;
Let them not rule and have control over me.
Then I will be blameless (complete),
And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.
14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable and pleasing in Your sight,
O Lord, my [firm, immovable] rock and my Redeemer.

19 (A)The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above[a] proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4 (B)Their (C)voice[b] goes out through all the earth,

5 (E)which comes out like (F)a bridegroom leaving his chamber,

O Lord, my (AB)rock and my (AC)redeemer.

Las obras y la palabra de Dios
Para el director del coro. Salmo de David.
19 Los cielos proclaman la gloria de Dios(A),
Y el firmamento anuncia la obra de Sus manos(B).
2 Un día transmite el mensaje al otro día(C),
Y una noche a la otra noche revela sabiduría(D).
3 No hay mensaje, no hay palabras;
No se oye su voz.
4 Pero por toda la tierra salió su voz(E),
Y hasta los confines del mundo sus palabras.
En ellos Dios puso una tienda para el sol(F),
5 Y este, como un esposo que sale de su alcoba,
Se regocija como hombre fuerte al correr su carrera.
6 De un extremo de los cielos es su salida,
Y su curso hasta el otro extremo de ellos(G);
Y no hay nada que se esconda de su calor.
7 La ley del Señor es perfecta(H), que restaura el alma(I);
El testimonio del Señor es seguro(J), que hace sabio al sencillo(K).
8 Los preceptos del Señor son rectos(L), que alegran el corazón(M);
El mandamiento del Señor es puro(N), que alumbra los ojos(O).
9 El temor del Señor es limpio, que permanece para siempre;
Los juicios del Señor son verdaderos(P), todos ellos justos(Q);
10 Deseables más que el oro(R); sí, más que mucho oro fino,
Más dulces que la miel(S) y que el destilar del panal.
11 Además, Tu siervo es amonestado por ellos(T);
En guardarlos hay gran recompensa(U).
12 ¿Quién puede discernir sus propios errores(V)?
Absuélveme(W) de los que me son ocultos(X).
13 Guarda también a Tu siervo de pecados de soberbia(Y);
Que no se enseñoreen de mí(Z).
Entonces seré íntegro(AA),
Y seré absuelto de gran transgresión(AB).
14 Sean gratas las palabras de mi boca y la meditación de mi corazón delante de Ti(AC),
Oh Señor, roca mía(AD) y Redentor mío(AE).
