[1] The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.

[2] Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.

[3] There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

[4] Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

[5] which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.

[6] His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.

[7] Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s testimony is sure, making wise the simple.

[8] Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.

[9] The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.

[10] More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.

[11] Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.

[12] Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.

[13] Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.

[14] Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
