For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament showeth his handiwork.

2 Day unto day uttereth speech,

And night unto night showeth knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language;

Their voice is not heard.

4 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,

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.

6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens,

And his circuit unto the ends of it;

And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7 The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul:

The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart:

The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever:

The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned:

In keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discern his errors?

Clear thou me from hidden 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 clear from great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

Be acceptable in thy sight,

O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.

大卫的诗，交给诗班长。 1 诸天述说　神的荣耀，

穹苍传扬他的作为。

2 天天发出言语，

夜夜传出知识。

3 没有话语，没有言词，

人也听不到它们的声音。

4 它们的声音*按照《马索拉文本》，"声音"作"准绳"，现参照《七十士译本》等古译本翻译传遍全地，

它们的言语传到地极，

神在它们中间为太阳安设帐幕。

5 太阳如同新郎出洞房，

又像勇士欢欢喜喜地跑路。

6 它从天的这边出来，

绕行到天的那边；

没有甚么可以隐藏，得不到它的温暖。

7 耶和华的律法是完全的，能使人心苏醒；

耶和华的法度是坚定的，能使愚人有智慧。

8 耶和华的训词是正直的，能使人心快乐；

耶和华的命令是清洁的，能使人的眼睛明亮。

9 耶和华的话语*"耶和华的话语"原文作"耶和华的敬畏"是洁净的，能坚立到永远；

耶和华的典章是真实的，完全公义；

10 都比金子宝贵，比大量的精金更宝贵；

比蜜甘甜，比蜂房滴下来的蜜更甘甜；

11 并且你的仆人也借着这些得到警戒，

谨守这些就得着大赏赐。

12 谁能知道自己的错误呢？

求你赦免我隐而未现的过失。

13 求你拦阻你仆人，不犯任意妄为的罪，

不许它们辖制我；

我才可以完全，不犯大过。

14 耶和华我的盘石、我的救赎主啊！

愿我口中的言语、心里的意念，

都在你面前蒙悦纳。
