PSALMS
Chapter
19
1. For
the Conductor, a psalm by David. 2. The heavens recount the glory of
the Almighty; the sky proclaims His handiwork. 3. Day to day speech
streams forth; night to night expresses knowledge.4. There is no
utterance, there are no words; their voice is inaudible. 5. Their arc
extends throughout the world; their message to the end of the earth. He set in
them [the heavens] a tent for the sun, 6. which is like a groom
coming forth from his bridal canopy, like a strong man rejoicing to run the
course. 7. Its rising is at one end of the heavens, and its orbit
encompasses the other ends; nothing is hidden from its heat. 8. The
Torah of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the Lord is
trustworthy, making wise the simpleton. 9. The precepts of the Lord
are just, rejoicing the heart; the command of the Lord is clear, enlightening
the eyes. 10. The fear of the Lord is pure, abiding forever; the
judgments of the Lord are true, they are all righteous together. 11. They
are more desirable than gold, than much fine gold; sweeter than honey or the
drippings of honeycomb. 12. Indeed, Your servant is scrupulous with
them; in observing them there is abundant reward. 13. Yet who can
discern inadvertent wrongs? Purge me of hidden sins. 14. Also hold
back Your servant from willful sins; let them not prevail over me; then I will
be unblemished and keep myself clean of gross transgression. 15. May
the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You,
Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer.

20
1. For
the Conductor, a psalm by David. 2. May the Lord answer you on the
day of distress; may the Name of the G-d of Jacob fortify you. 3. May
He send your help from the Sanctuary, and support you from
Zion. 4. May He remember all your offerings, and always accept
favorably your sacrifices. 5. May He grant you your heart's desire,
and fulfill your every counsel. 6. We will rejoice in your
deliverance, and raise our banners in the name of our G-d; may the Lord fulfill
all your wishes. 7. Now I know that the Lord has delivered His
anointed one, answering him from His holy heavens with the mighty saving power
of His right hand. 8.Some [rely] upon chariots and some upon horses, but
we [rely upon and] invoke the Name of the Lord our G-d. 9. They bend
and fall, but we rise and stand firm. 10. Lord, deliver us; may the
King answer us on the day we call.

21
1. For
the Conductor, a psalm by David. 2. The king rejoices in Your
strength, Lord; how greatly he exults in Your deliverance! 3.You have
given him his heart's desire, and You have never withheld the utterance of his
lips. 4. You preceded him with blessings of good; You placed a crown
of pure gold on his head.5. He asked of You life, You gave it to him-long
life, forever and ever. 6. His glory is great in Your deliverance;
You have placed majesty and splendor upon him. 7. For You make him a
blessing forever; You gladden him with the joy of Your
countenance. 8. For the king trusts in the Lord, and in the kindness
of the Most High-that he will not falter. 9. Your hand will suffice
for all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate
You. 10. You will make them as a fiery furnace at the time of Your
anger. May the Lord consume them in His wrath; let a fire devour
them. 11. Destroy their offspring from the earth, their descendants
from mankind.12. For they intended evil against You, they devised evil plans
which they cannot execute. 13. For You will set them as a portion
apart; with Your bowstring You will aim at their faces. 14. Be
exalted, O Lord, in Your strength; we will sing and chant the praise of Your
might.

joyously, all you upright of heart!
