Listen to Robert Alter read this psalm.

19.

1. To the lead player. A David psalm.

2.*****The heavens tell God's glory,

************and His handiwork sky declares.

3.*****Day to day breathes utterance

************and night to night pronounces knowledge.

4.*****There is no utterance and there are no words,

************their voice is never heard.

5.*****Through all the earth their voice goes out,

************to the world's edge, their words.

******For the sun He set up a tent in them—

6.***********and he like a groom from his canopy comes,

******************exults like a warrior running his course.

7.*****From the ends of the heavens his going out

************and his circuit to their ends,

******************and nothing can hide from his heat.

8.*****The LORD's teaching is perfect,

************restoring to life.

******The LORD's pact is steadfast,

************it makes the fool wise.

9.*****The LORD's precepts are upright,

************delighting the heart.

******The LORD's command unblemished,

************giving light to the eyes.

10.*****The LORD's fear is pure,

************outlasting all time.

******The LORD's judgments are truth,

************all of them just.

11.*****More desired than gold,

************than abundant fine gold,

******and sweeter than honey,

************quintessence of bees.

12.*****Your servant, too, takes care with them.

************In keeping them—great reward.

13.*****Unwitting sins who can grasp?

************Of unknown actions clear me.

14.*****From willful men preserve Your servant,

************let them not rule over me.

******Then shall I be blameless

************and clear of great crime.

15.*****Let my mouth's utterances be pleasing

************and my heart's stirring before You,

******************LORD, my rock and redeemer.
