1.
For the director of music. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
|
|
2.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.
|
|
3.
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.
|
|
4.
Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
|
|
5.
which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
|
|
6.
It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.
|
|
7.
The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
|
|
8.
The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
|
|
9.
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.
|
|
10.
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
|
|
11.
By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
|
|
12.
Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
|
|
13.
Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
|
|
14.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
