1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. For the director of music. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.
4 Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way: which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat. It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
7 The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8 The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes. the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves. the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the LORD are firm, and all of them are righteous.
10 More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.
11 For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward. Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
13 and from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression. Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
14 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
