1. To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth the work of his hands.
2. Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night showeth knowledge.
3. [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard.
4. Their line hath 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,
5. Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6. His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit to the ends of it and there is nothing hid from his heat.
7. The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.
8. The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.
9. The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.
10. More to be desired [are they] than gold, yes, than much fine gold sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
11. Moreover, by them is thy servant warned [and] in keeping of them [there is] great reward.
12. Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults].
13. 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.
14. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
