| 1 ¶ To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
|
|
| 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
|
|
| 3 There is no speech nor language, where1 their voice is not heard.
|
|
| 4 Their line2 is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
|
|
| 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
|
|
| 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
|
|
| 7 ¶ The law3 of the LORD is perfect, converting4 the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
|
|
| 8 The statutes 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 for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true5 and righteous altogether.
|
|
| 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.6
|
|
| 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
|
|
| 12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
|
|
| 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great7 transgression.
|
|
| 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength,8 and my redeemer.
