1.    {To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.}
 
2.    The heavens  declare the glory of łGod; and the expanse sheweth the work of  his hands.
 
3.    Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth  knowledge.
 
4.    There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice  is heard.
 
5.    Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their  language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a  tent for the sun,
 
6.    And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he  rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.
 
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  judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:
 
11.    They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine  gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.
 
12.    Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping  them there is great reward.
 
13.    Who understandeth his errors? Purify me from secret  faults.
 
14.    Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let  them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I  shall be innocent 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.
