[1] The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse is declaring the work of His hands. [2] Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. [3] There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. [4] Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun, [5] Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. [6] Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. [7] The law of Yahweh is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of Yahweh is sure, making wise the simple. [8] The precepts of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes. [9] The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of Yahweh are true; they are righteous altogether. [10] They are more desirable than gold, even more than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. [11] Moreover, by them Your slave is warned; In keeping them there is great reward. [12] Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults. [13] Also keep back Your slave from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression. [14] Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Yahweh, my rock and my Redeemer.
