Sources – The Problems and Shortcomings of the Frame Story

<p><u><strong>Psalms, Chapter 19</strong></u></p> <p>1 For the conductor, a psalm of David.</p> <p>2 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament tells the work of His hands.</p> <p>3 Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night expresses knowledge.</p> <p>4 There is no speech and there are no words; their voice is not heard.</p> <p>5 Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world;</p> <p>in them He has set a tent for the sun,</p> <p>6 which is like a bridegroom coming out of his canopy; it rejoices like a mighty man to run its course.</p> <p>7 Its going forth is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to their ends; and nothing is hidden from its heat.</p> <p>8 The Torah of Hashem is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Hashem is faithful, making the simple wise.</p> <p>9 The precepts of Hashem are upright, gladdening the heart; the commandment of Hashem is clear, enlightening the eyes.</p> <p>10 The fear of Hashem is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of Hashem are true, altogether righteous.</p> <p>11 They are more desirable than gold, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.</p> <p>12 Your servant too is careful with them; in keeping them there is great reward.</p> <p>13 Who can discern errors? Cleanse me of hidden faults.</p> <p>14 Hold back Your servant also from willful sins; let them not rule over me — then I shall be blameless,</p> <p>and cleansed of great transgression.</p> <p>15 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You,</p> <p>Hashem, my Rock and my Redeemer.</p> <p><em>Translated from the Hebrew sources page "מקורות -הבעיתיות והחסרונות בסיפור המעטפת" by Roni Ayalon-Hirsch.</em></p>
