The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 1
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. 2
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. 3
Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun, 4
which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. 5
It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat. 6
The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 7
The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. 8
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous. 9
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. 10
By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. 11
Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults. 12
Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression. 13
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. 14
