To the chief Musician,
A Psalm
of David.
The heavens
declare
the glory
of God;
and the firmament
sheweth his
handywork.
Day
unto day
uttereth
speech,
and night
unto night
sheweth
knowledge.
There is no speech
nor language,
where their voice
is not heard.
Their line
is gone out
through all the earth,
and their words
to the end
of the world.
In them hath he set
a tabernacle
for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom
coming out
of his chamber,
and rejoiceth
as a strong man
to run
a race.
His going forth
is from the end
of the heaven,
and his circuit
unto the ends
of it: and there is nothing hid
from the heat
thereof.
The law
of the LORD
is perfect,
converting
the soul:
the testimony
of the LORD
is sure,
making wise
the simple.
The statutes
of the LORD
are right,
rejoicing
the heart:
the commandment
of the LORD
is pure,
enlightening
the eyes.
The fear
of the LORD
is clean,
enduring
for ever:
the judgments
of the LORD
are true
and righteous
altogether.
More to be desired
are they than gold,
yea, than much
fine gold:
sweeter
also than honey
and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant
warned:
and in keeping
of them there is great
reward.
Who can understand
his errors?
cleanse
thou me from secret
faults.
Keep back
thy servant
also from presumptuous
sins; let them not have dominion
over me: then shall I be upright,
and I shall be innocent
from the great
transgression.
Let the words
of my mouth,
and the meditation
of my heart,
be acceptable
in thy sight,
O LORD,
my strength,
and my redeemer.
