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 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 his course.

6

His going forth is from the end of the heavens, And his circuit unto the ends of it And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7

The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

8

The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9

The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah 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 droppings of the honeycomb.

11

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward.

12

Who can discern [his] errors? Clear thou me from hidden [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 clear from great transgression.

14

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
