[1] The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.
[2] Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.
[3] There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.
[4] Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
[5] Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
[6] Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
[7] The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
[8] The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
[9] The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
[10] More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
[11] Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward.
[12] Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults.
[13] Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression.
[14] Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
