1: (For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.) The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. 2: Day after day they pour forth speech, And night after night they display knowledge. 3: There is no speech nor language, Where their voice is not heard. 4: Their voice has gone out through all the earth, Their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, 5: Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, Like a strong man rejoicing to run his course. 6: His going forth is from the end of the heavens, His circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat. 7: Yahweh's law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh's testimony is sure, making wise the simple. 8: Yahweh's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9: The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether. 10: More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb. 11: Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward. 12: Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors. 13: Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright, I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression. 14: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
