¹ To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. THE HEAVENS declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork. ² Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night shows forth knowledge. ³ There is no speech nor spoken word ; their voice is not heard. ⁴ Yet their voice goes out through all the earth, their sayings to the end of the world. Of the heavens has God made a tent for the sun, ⁵ Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; and it rejoices as a strong man to run his course. ⁶ Its going forth is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the ends of it; and nothing is hidden from the heat of it. ⁷ The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the person; 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 and bright, enlightening the eyes. ⁹ The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. ¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold, even than much fine gold; they are sweeter also than honey and drippings from the honeycomb. ¹¹ Moreover, by them is Your servant warned (reminded, illuminated, and instructed); and in keeping them there is great reward. ¹² Who can discern his lapses and errors? Clear me from hidden faults. ¹³ Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then shall I be blameless, and I shall be innocent and clear 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.
