1The heavens are telling the glory of God,

and the firmamentu proclaims his handiwork.*

2Day to day pours forth speech,

and night to night declares knowledge.*

3There is no speech, nor are there words;

their voice is not heard;

4yet their voicev goes out through all the earth

and their words to the end of the world.

In the heavensw he has set a tent for the sun,*

5which comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy,

and like a strong man runs its course with joy.*

6Its rising is from the end of the heavens

and its circuit to the end of them,

and nothing is hid from its heat.*

7The law of the Lord is perfect,

reviving the soul;

the decrees of the Lord are sure,

making wise the simple;*

8the precepts of the Lord are right,

rejoicing the heart;

the commandment of the Lord is clear,

enlightening the eyes;*

9the fear of the Lord is pure,

enduring forever;

the ordinances of the Lord are true

and righteous altogether.*

10More to be desired are they than gold,

even much fine gold;

sweeter also than honey

and drippings of the honeycomb.*

11Moreover, by them is your servant warned;

in keeping them there is great reward.*

12But who can detect one’s own errors?

Clear me from hidden faults.*

13Keep back your servant also from the insolent;x

do not let them have dominion over me.

Then I shall be blameless

and innocent of great transgression.*

14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable to you,

O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.*
