| 1 | For the end, a Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims 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 proclaims 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 or words, in which 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 voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to 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 | In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course. | 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 forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the other end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden 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 perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes. | 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 ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, 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 pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, and justified altogether. | 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 | To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-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 | For thy servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them there is 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 will understand his transgressions? purge thou me from my secret sins . | Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. | But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults. | |
| 13 | And spare thy servant the attack of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great 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 | So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before thee, 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. | |
