Verses
1
The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
2
Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.
3
There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard;
4
yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In the heavens he has set a tent for the sun,
5
which comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy, and like a strong man runs its course with joy.
6
Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and nothing is hid from its heat.
7
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the decrees of the Lord are sure, making wise the simple;
8
the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes;
9
the fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb.
11
Moreover by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
12
But who can detect their errors? Clear me from hidden faults.
13
Keep back your servant also from the insolent; do not let them have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
