- 1The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
- 2Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
- 3There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
- 4Their 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,
- 5which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
- 6His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
- 7The Lord’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The Lord’s testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
- 8The Lord’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The Lord’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
- 9The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever. The Lord’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
- 10More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
- 11Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
- 12Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
- 13Keep 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.
- 14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, the Lord, my rock, and my redeemer.
