The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

10 They are more desirable than gold, Yea, 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.

12 Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent, Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
