- The heavens declare the glory of God:
and the earth is telling the work of his hands.- Day unto day utters speech,
night unto night reveals knowledge.- There is no speech or words,
their voice has not been heard,- Yet their message goes out through all the earth,
and their sayings to the ends of the world.
- They go forth from one end of heaven to the other,
and no one is hidden from His truth.- The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul:
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple.- The statutes of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart:
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes.- The fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever:
the judgments of the Lord are true,
all of them together are righteous.- They are more to be desired than gold,
Yes, than much fine gold:
They are sweeter than honey from the honeycomb.- By them your servant is warned;
And in keeping them there is great reward.- But who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.- And keep back your servant from presumptuous sins;
Let them not rule over me,
Then shall I be blameless,
and I shall be innocent of great transgression.- Let the words of my mouth and the meditation
of my heart always be pleasing to you,
O Lord my strength and my redeemer.
