1 The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament sheweth his handywork.

2 Day unto day uttereth speech,

And night unto night sheweth knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language,

Where 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 a race.

6 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.

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, yea, than much fine gold:

Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

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.
