^1. THE heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.

^2. Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.

^3. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard.

^4. Their [1] line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun,

^5. Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.

^6. Its rising is from [3] one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the [2] other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

^7. The law of the LORD is [4] perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

^8. The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

^9. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether.

^10. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

^11. Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.

^12. Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.

^13. Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be [5] blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

^14. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.
