Tehillim, starting at chapter 19
Psalm 19
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
{19:1} The heavens declare the glory of God.
The expanse shows his handiwork.
{19:2} Day after day they pour forth speech,
And night after night they display knowledge.
{19:3} There is no speech nor language,
Where their voice is not heard.
{19:4} Their voice has gone out through all the [1>]eretz[<1],
Their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
{19:5} Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
Like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
{19:6} His going forth is from the end of the heavens,
His circuit to the ends of it;
There is nothing hid from the heat of it.
{19:7} The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul.
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
{19:8} The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart.
The [2>]mitzvah[<2] of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
{19:9} The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
{19:10} More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine
gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
{19:11} Moreover by them is your servant warned.
In keeping them there is great reward.
{19:12} Who can discern his errors?
Forgive me from hidden errors.
{19:13} Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I will be upright,
I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
{19:14} Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in your sight,
LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
Psalm 20
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
{20:1} May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble.
May the name of the God of Ya`akov set you up on high,
{20:2} Send you help from the sanctuary,
Grant you support from Tziyon,
{20:3} Remember all your offerings,
And accept your burnt-sacrifice.
Selah.
{20:4} May He grant you your heart's desire,
And fulfill all your counsel.
{20:5} We will triumph in your [1>]yeshu`ah[<1].
In the name of our God we will set up our banners:
The LORD fulfill all your petitions.
{20:6} Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed.
He will answer him from his holy heaven,
With the saving strength of his right hand.
{20:7} Some trust in chariots, and some in horses,
But we trust the name of the LORD our God.
{20:8} They are bowed down and fallen,
But we rise up, and stand upright.
{20:9} Save, LORD;
Let the King answer us when we call!
Psalm 21
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
{21:1} The king rejoices in your strength, LORD!
How greatly he rejoices in your [1>]yeshu`ah[<1]!
{21:2} You have given him his heart's desire,
And have not withheld the request of his lips.
Selah.
{21:3} For you meet him with the blessings of goodness;
You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
{21:4} He asked life of you, you gave it to him,
Even length of days forever and ever.
{21:5} His glory is great in your salvation.
You lay honor and majesty on him.
{21:6} For you make him most blessed forever.
You make him glad with joy in your presence.
{21:7} For the king trusts in the LORD.
Through the lovingkindness of [2>]Ha`Elyon[<2], he shall not be
moved.
{21:8} Your hand will find out all of your enemies.
Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
{21:9} You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger.
The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath.
The fire shall devour them.
{21:10} You will destroy their descendants from the [3>]eretz[<3],
Their posterity from among the children of men.
{21:11} For they intended evil against you.
They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
{21:12} For you will make them turn their back,
When you aim drawn bows at their face.
{21:13} Be exalted, LORD, in your strength,
So we will sing and praise your power.
