1 The heavens declare the glory of God;and the firmament showeth his handiwork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech,and night unto night showeth 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.
