1 To the overseer; chanting of David. The heavens recounting the glory of God, and the firmament announcing 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 will gush out the saying, and night to night will breathe out 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 No saying and no words without their voice being 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 went forth into all the earth, and their words into the ends of the habitable globe. In them he set 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 coming forth from his nuptial couch, will rejoice as a strong one to run a 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 From the extremity of the heavens his going forth and his circuits upon their extremities and no hiding 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 Jehovah is blameless, turning back the soul; the testimonies of Jehovah being faithful, making wise the simple. 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 mandates of Jehovah are straight, rejoicing the heart: the command of Jehovah 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 Jehovah being pure, standing forever: the judgments of Jehovah, truth, they were altogether just. 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 Being desirable above gold, and above much pure gold, and being sweet above honey, and the dropping of honey-combs. 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 thy servant being admonished by them: in watching them much 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 errors? acquit me from hidden things. Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Also withhold thy servant from arrogant things; they shall not rule over me: then shall I be blameless, and I was acquitted from 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 The saying of my mouth and the meditation of my heart shall be for acceptance before thee, O Jehovah, 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.
