Psalms (Author Moses, David, Solomon, Asaph, Heman, Ethan, sons of Korah, compiled by Ezra)

Chapter 19

1The heavens are recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse is declaring.2Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.3There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.4Into 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,5And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.6From the end of the heavens is his going out, And his revolution is unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.7The law of Jehovah is perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah are stedfast, Making wise the simple,8The precepts of Jehovah are upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes,9The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous -- together.10They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.11Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them is a great reward.'12Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,13Also -- from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression,14Let 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!

Chapter 20

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David.1Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,2He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,3He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah.4He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.5We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.6Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.7Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.8They -- they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.9O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

Chapter 21

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David.1Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.2The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah.3For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold.4Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.5Great is his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.6For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.7For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved.8Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.9Thou 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.10Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men.11For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,12For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.13Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!
