1 The heavens recount the glory of God, and the expanse announces the work of his hands.
2 One day pours out speech to the next, and night to night imparts knowledge.
3 There is no speech, and there are no words; their voice is not heard.
4 Yet their measuring line has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the edge of the world. For the sun he has pitched a tent in them,
5 and it is like a bridegroom coming out from his canopy; it rejoices like a warrior to run its path.
6 From one end of the heavens it rises, and its circuit reaches to their other end; nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the LORD is blameless, bringing back the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, giving wisdom to the simple;
8 the precepts of the LORD are upright, making the heart glad; the commandment of the LORD is clear, giving light to the eyes;
9 the fear of the LORD is pure, standing forever; the judgments of the LORD are truth; they are righteous, all together.
10 They are more desirable than gold, than much refined gold, and sweeter than honey and the flow of the combs.
11 Your servant too is warned by them; in guarding them there is much reward.
12 Errors, who can perceive them? Declare me innocent of hidden faults.
13 Also hold back your servant from willful sins; do not let them rule over me. Then I will be complete and clear of great transgression.
14 May the sayings of my mouth and the musing of my heart find favor before you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
