1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
-
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
-
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
-
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
-
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
-
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
-
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 for ever: 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 is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
-
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
-
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
-
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

- 1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
- 2 Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.
- 3 There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard.
- 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
- 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
- 6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
- 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
- 8 The precepts 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; they are righteous altogether.
- 10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
- 11 Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.
- 12 Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.
- 13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.
- 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.
