19 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens [are] recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse [is] declaring.

² Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.

³ There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.

⁴ Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,

⁵ And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.

⁶ From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.

⁷ The law of Jehovah [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah [are] stedfast, Making wise the simple,

⁸ The precepts of Jehovah [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,

⁹ The fear of Jehovah [is] clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah [are] true, They have been righteous -- together.

¹⁰ They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.

¹¹ Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them [is] a great reward.'

¹² Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,

¹³ Also -- from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression,

¹⁴ Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!

20 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

² He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

³ He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah.

⁴ He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

⁵ We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

⁶ Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

⁷ Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

⁸ They -- they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

⁹ O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

21 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.

² The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah.

³ For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold.

⁴ Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.

⁵ Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.

⁶ For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.

⁷ For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved.

⁸ Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.

⁹ Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.

¹⁰ Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men.

¹¹ For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,

¹² For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.

¹³ Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!
