1 The heavens declare the glory of God,and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,whose voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,and their words to the end of the world.In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,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 there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving 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 rules of the Lord are true,and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,even much fine gold; sweeter also than honeyand drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;let them not 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 heartbe acceptable in your sight,O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
