| 1. | To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. |
| 2. | The heavens are recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse is declaring. |
| 3. | Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge. |
| 4. | There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard. |
| 5. | Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them, |
| 6. | And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path. |
| 7. | From the end of the heavens is his going out, And his revolution is unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat. |
| 8. | The law of Jehovah is perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah are stedfast, Making wise the simple, |
| 9. | The precepts of Jehovah are upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes, |
| 10. | The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous -- together. |
| 11. | They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb. |
| 12. | Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them is a great reward.` |
| 13. | Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent, |
| 14. | Also -- from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression, |
| 15. | Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer! |
