¹ The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows his handywork . ² Day to day utters speech, and night to night shows knowledge. ³ There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. ⁴ Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun, ⁵ Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race. ⁶ His going forward is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit to the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat of it. ⁷ The law of the LORD is perfect, converting 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 forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. ¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb . ¹¹ Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. ¹² Who can understand his errors? cleanse you me from secret [faults]. ¹³ Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then will I be upright, and I will be innocent from the great transgression. ¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
