- «For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.»
The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
- 2
- Day after day they pour forth 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 chamber, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
- 6
- His going forth 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.
