The heavens declare the glory of God;
The firmament shows the creation of His hands.
The firmament shows the creation of His hands.
Day to day utters speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech nor language
Where their voices are not heard.
Their proclamation went forth into all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.
In the sun He sets His tabernacle;
And it rejoices exceedingly
Like a bridegroom coming forth from his bridal chamber,
Like a strong man to run a race.
Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit runs to the other end;
And nothing shall be hidden from its heat.
The law of the Lord is blameless, converting souls;
The testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making children wise;
The ordinances of the Lord are right, Rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring unto ages of ages;
The judgements of the Lord are true, being altogether just.
More to be desired are they than gold and a very precious stone,
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
For indeed Your servant keeps them;
In keeping them there is great reward.
Who will understand his transgressions?
Cleanse me from hidden sins,
And spare your servant from unnatural sins;
If they have no dominion over me, then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be cleansed from great sin.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be always pleasing before You,
O Lord, my helper and my redeemer.
