1.    For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
 
2.    The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork.
 
3.    Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge.
 
4.    There is no speech nor language; Their voice is not heard.
 
5.    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,
 
6.    Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
 
7.    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.
 
8.    The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.
 
9.    The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
 
10.    The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.
 
11.    More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much       fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
 
12.    Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward.
 
13.    Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults.
 
14.    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.
 
15.    Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
