1. For the conductor, a song of David.
2. The heavens recite the glory of God, and the sky tells of the work of His hands.
3. Day to day utters speech, and night to night tells knowledge.
4. There is neither speech nor words; their voice is not heard.
5. Their line goes forth throughout the earth, and their words are at the end of the world; for the sun He made a tent therein.
6. And it is like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber; it rejoices like a mighty man running a course.
7. From the end of the heavens is its source, and its circuit is to their ends, and none is hidden from its heat.
8. The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the Lord is faithful, making the simple one wise.
9. The orders of the Lord are upright, causing the heart to rejoice; the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes.
10. The fear of the Lord is pure, existing forever; the judgments of the Lord are true, altogether just.
11. They are to be desired more than gold, yea more than much fine gold, and are sweeter than honey and drippings of honeycombs.
12. Also Your servant was careful with them; for in observing them there is great reward.
13. Who understands errors? Cleanse me of hidden [sins].
14. Also withhold Your servant from willful sins; let them not rule over me; then I will be perfect and I will be cleansed of much transgression.
15. May the sayings of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable before You, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
| CommentryPsalm 19:8
Psalm for Shavuot
"The Torah of Hashem is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimonyof Hashem is trustworthy,
making wise the simple..."
"Torat Hashem temiymah, Meshiybas nefesh;
eydus Hashem ne'emanah,
mah ki mas pesiy..."
The first seven sentences of Psalm 19 correspond to the 7 days of creation.
Passage 8 describes beautiful things about the Torah. This teaches that when we want to reach higher, we reach for the Torah. When we wish to elevate our spiritual awareness we reach for the Torah.
Yet the Torah emphasises the importance of enjoying a festive dairy meal on Shavuot. the day the Torah was received. Thus, we realize that our mission on this earth is not merely to enlighten ourselves spiritually but to bring the physical in - to bring holiness into all aspects of life: spiritual and physical
