For the choirmaster. 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 reveal knowledge. |
|
3
|
Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard, |
|
4
|
their voice has gone 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
|
Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course, |
|
6
|
it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth. |
|
7
|
The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple. |
|
8
|
The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. |
|
9
|
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being 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 indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward. |
|
12
|
Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults. |
|
13
|
Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed 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. |
