Psalm 19
NLT Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationInternational Standard Version
1The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.1The heavens are declaring the glory of God, and their expanse shows the work of his hands.
2Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.2Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they reveal knowledge.
3They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard.3There is no speech nor are there words— their voice is not heard—
4Yet 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.4yet their message goes out into all the world, and their words to the ends of the earth. He has set up a tent for the sun in the heavens,
5It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding. It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race.5which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, or like a champion who rejoices at the beginning of a race.
6The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat.6Its circuit is from one end of the sky to the other, and nothing is hidden from its heat.
7The instructions of the LORD are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.7The Law of the LORD is perfect, restoring life. The testimony of the LORD is steadfast, making foolish people wise.
8The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight for living.8The precepts of the LORD are upright, making the heart rejoice. The commandment of the LORD is pure, giving light to the eyes.
9Reverence for the LORD is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the LORD are true; each one is fair.9The fear of the LORD is clean, standing forever. The judgments of the LORD are true; they are altogether righteous.
10They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.10They are more desirable than gold, even much fine gold. They are sweeter than honey, even the drippings from a honeycomb.
11They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them.11Moreover your servant is warned by them; and there is great reward in keeping them.
12How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults.12Who can detect his own mistake? Cleanse me from hidden sin.
13Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin.13Preserve your servant from arrogant people; do not let them rule over me. Then I will be upright and acquitted of great wickedness.
14May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.14May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
