| 1 | TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. The heavens [are] recounting the glory of God, || And the expanse [is] declaring 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 utters speech, || And night to night shows 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 is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice has not been 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 line has gone forth into all the earth, || And their sayings to the end of the world, || In them He placed a tent for the sun, | 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 | And he, as a bridegroom, goes out from his covering, || He rejoices as a mighty one || To run the path. | 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 | From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, || And his revolution [is] to their ends, || And nothing is hid 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 YHWH [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, || The testimonies of YHWH [are] steadfast, || Making the simple wise, | 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 precepts of YHWH [are] upright, || Rejoicing the heart, || The command of YHWH [is] pure, 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 YHWH [is] clean, standing for all time, || The judgments of YHWH [are] true, || They have been righteous—together. | 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 | They are more desirable than gold, || Indeed, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, || Even liquid honey of the comb. | 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 | Also—Your servant is warned by them, “In keeping them [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 | [His] errors—who understands? Declare me innocent from hidden ones, | Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. | But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults. | |
| 13 | Also—keep back Your servant from presumptuous ones, || Do not let them rule over me, || Then I am perfect, || And declared innocent of much transgression. | 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 | Let the sayings of my mouth, || And the meditation of my heart, || Be for a pleasing thing before You, || O YHWH, my rock, 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. | |
