1The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth the work of his hands.
2Day unto day uttereth the same, and night unto night teacheth knowledge.
3There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4Their line is gone forth through all the earth, and their words into the ends of the world: in them hath he set a tabernacle for the Sun.
5Which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth like a mighty man to run his race.
6His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his compass is unto the ends of the same, and none is hid from the heat thereof.
7The Law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, and giveth wisdom unto the simple.
8The statutes of the Lord are right, and rejoice the heart, the commandment of the Lord is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes.
9The fear of the Lord is clean, and endureth forever: the judgments of the Lord are truth: they are righteous altogether,
10And more to be desired than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey, and the honeycomb.
11Moreover by them is thy servant made circumspect, and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12Who can understand his faults? cleanse me from secret faults.
13Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins: let them not reign over me: so shall I be upright, and made clean from much wickedness.
14Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of mine heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord my strength, and my redeemer.
