[1] The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
[2] Day after day they pour out 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 room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
[6] His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
[7] The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
[8] The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
[9] The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
[10] They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
[11] Moreover your servant is warned by them. 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, LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
