22:29 All of the thriving people 1 of the earth will join the celebration and worship; 2
all those who are descending into the grave 3 will bow before him,
including those who cannot preserve their lives. 4
For the music director; according to the tune “Morning Doe;” 6 a psalm of David.
22:1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? 7
I groan in prayer, but help seems far away. 8
For the music director; a psalm of David.
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; 10
the sky displays his handiwork. 11
19:2 Day after day it speaks out; 12
night after night it reveals his greatness. 13
19:3 There is no actual speech or word,
nor is its 14 voice literally heard.
19:4 Yet its voice 15 echoes 16 throughout the earth;
its 17 words carry 18 to the distant horizon. 19
In the sky 20 he has pitched a tent for the sun. 21
19:5 Like a bridegroom it emerges 22 from its chamber; 23
like a strong man it enjoys 24 running its course. 25
19:6 It emerges from the distant horizon, 26
and goes from one end of the sky to the other; 27
nothing can escape 28 its heat.
19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect
and preserves one’s life. 29
The rules set down by the Lord 30 are reliable 31
and impart wisdom to the inexperienced. 32
19:8 The Lord’s precepts are fair 33
and make one joyful. 34
The Lord’s commands 35 are pure 36
and give insight for life. 37
19:9 The commands to fear the Lord are right 38
and endure forever. 39
The judgments given by the Lord are trustworthy
and absolutely just. 40
19:10 They are of greater value 41 than gold,
than even a great amount of pure gold;
they bring greater delight 42 than honey,
than even the sweetest honey from a honeycomb.
19:11 Yes, your servant finds moral guidance there; 43
those who obey them receive a rich reward. 44
19:12 Who can know all his errors? 45
Please do not punish me for sins I am unaware of. 46
19:13 Moreover, keep me from committing flagrant 47 sins;
do not allow such sins to control me. 48
Then I will be blameless,
and innocent of blatant 49 rebellion.
19:14 May my words and my thoughts
be acceptable in your sight, 50
O Lord, my sheltering rock 51 and my redeemer. 52
145:13 Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, 53
and your dominion endures through all generations.
