Psalm 19
New Living Translation
Psalm 19
For the choir director: A psalm of David.
1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship.
2 Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
3 They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.[a]
4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world.
God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.
5 It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding.
It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race.
6 The sun rises at one end of the heavens
and follows its course to the other end.
Nothing can hide from its heat.
7 The instructions of the Lord are perfect,
reviving the soul.
The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The commandments of the Lord are right,
bringing joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are clear,
giving insight for living.
9 Reverence for the Lord is pure,
lasting forever.
The laws of the Lord are true;
each one is fair.
10 They are more desirable than gold,
even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
even honey dripping from the comb.
11 They are a warning to your servant,
a great reward for those who obey them.
12 How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?
Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant from deliberate sins!
Don’t let them control me.
Then I will be free of guilt
and innocent of great sin.
14 May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Psalm 19
English Standard Version
The Law of the Lord Is Perfect
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
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,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for (D)the sun,
5 (E)which comes out like (F)a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them,
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 (G)The law of the Lord is perfect,[c]
(H)reviving the soul;
(I)the testimony of the Lord is (J)sure,
(K)making wise (L)the simple;
8 (M)the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is (N)pure,
(O)enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules[d] of the Lord are (P)true,
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than (Q)gold,
even much (R)fine gold;
(S)sweeter also than honey
and drippings of (T)the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
(U)in keeping them there is great reward.
12 (V)Who can discern his errors?
(W)Declare me innocent from (X)hidden faults.
13 (Y)Keep back your servant also from (Z)presumptuous sins;
let them not have (AA)dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my (AB)rock and my (AC)redeemer.

La Biblia de las Américas
Las obras y la palabra de Dios
Para el director del coro. Salmo de David.
19 Los cielos proclaman[a] la gloria de Dios(A),
y la expansión[b] 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[c].
4 Mas por toda la tierra salió su voz[d](E),
y hasta los confines del mundo sus palabras.
En ellos[e] puso una tienda para el sol(F),
5 y este, como un esposo que sale de su alcoba,
se regocija cual hombre fuerte al correr su carrera.
6 De un extremo de los cielos es su salida,
y su curso hasta el otro extremo[f] de ellos(G);
y nada hay que se esconda de su calor.
7 La ley del Señor es perfecta[g](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[h] 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[i](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).

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.
