To the chief Musician[H5329], A Psalm[H4210] of David[H1732]. The heavens[H8064]declare[H5608] the glory[H3519] of God[H410]; and the firmament[H7549] sheweth his[H5046]handywork[H4639].
2Day[H3117] unto day[H3117]uttereth[H5042]speech[H562], and night[H3915] unto night[H3915]sheweth[H2331]knowledge[H1847].
3
There is no speech[H562] nor language[H1697], where their voice[H6963] is not heard[H8085].
4
Their line[H6957] is gone out[H3318] through all the earth[H776], and their words[H4405] to the end[H7097] of the world[H8398]. In them hath he set[H7760] a tabernacle[H168] for the sun[H8121],
5
Which is as a bridegroom[H2860] coming out[H3318] of his chamber[H2646], and rejoiceth[H7797] as a strong man[H1368] to run[H7323] a race[H734].
6
His going forth[H4161] is from the end[H7097] of the heaven[H8064], and his circuit[H8622] unto the ends[H7098] of it: and there is nothing hid[H5641] from the heat[H2535] thereof.
7
The law[H8451] of the LORD[H3068] is perfect[H8549], converting[H7725] the soul[H5315]: the testimony[H5715] of the LORD[H3068] is sure[H539], making wise[H2449] the simple[H6612].
8
The statutes[H6490] of the LORD[H3068] are right[H3477], rejoicing[H8055] the heart[H3820]: the commandment[H4687] of the LORD[H3068] is pure[H1249], enlightening[H215] the eyes[H5869].
9
The fear[H3374] of the LORD[H3068] is clean[H2889], enduring[H5975] for ever[H5703]: the judgments[H4941] of the LORD[H3068] are true[H571] and righteous[H6663]altogether[H3162].
10
More to be desired[H2530] are they than gold[H2091], yea, than much[H7227] fine gold[H6337]: sweeter[H4966] also than honey[H1706] and the honeycomb[H5317].
11
Moreover by them is thy servant[H5650]warned[H2094]: and in keeping[H8104] of them there is great[H7227]reward[H6118].
12
Who can understand[H995] his errors?[H7691]cleanse[H5352] thou me from secret[H5641] faults.
13
Keep back[H2820] thy servant[H5650] also from presumptuous[H2086] sins; let them not have dominion[H4910] over me: then shall I be upright[H8552], and I shall be innocent[H5352] from the great[H7227]transgression[H6588].
14
Let the words[H561] of my mouth[H6310], and the meditation[H1902] of my heart[H3820], be acceptable[H7522] in thy sight[H6440], O LORD[H3068], my strength[H6697], and my redeemer[H1350].
