The heavens declare the glory of God...
the [earth's] firmaments show His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech...
Night unto night reveals knowledge.
There is no language where their voice is not heard.
Their [proclamation]has gone out through all the earth...
Their words go to the end of the world.
In these praises, He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
which is like a groom coming out of his chamber,
rejoicing like a strong man ready to run a race.
Its rising is from one end of heaven,...
its circuit to the other end...
there is nothing hidden from his [warmth].
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure, making the simple [into]wise;
the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandments of the Lord [are] pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
They are to be desired more than gold, yes, much more than fine gold;
it is sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
More over by them Your servant is warned,...
in keeping your law there is great reward.
Who can understand his own errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
Keep your servant from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be innocent of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart
be acceptable in Your sight, Oh Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
