1 To the chief
Musician, A
Psalm of
David.The
heavens declare the
glory of
God; and the
firmament sheweth
his handywork #H3027.
2 Day unto
day uttereth speech, and
night unto
night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no
speech nor
language, where their
voice is not
heard.
4 Their
line is gone
out through all the
earth, and their
words to the
end of the
world. In them hath he
set a
tabernacle for the
sun,
5 Which is as a
bridegroom coming
out of his
chamber, and
rejoiceth as a strong
man to
run a
race.
6 His going
forth is from the
end of the
heaven, and his
circuit unto the
ends of it: and there is nothing
hid from the
heat thereof.
7 The
law of the
LORD is
perfect,
converting the
soul: the
testimony of the
LORD is
sure, making
wise the
simple.
8 The
statutes of the
LORD are
right,
rejoicing the
heart: the
commandment of the
LORD is
pure,
enlightening the
eyes.
9 The
fear of the
LORD is
clean,
enduring for
ever: the
judgments of the
LORD are
true and
righteous altogether.
10 More to be
desired are they than
gold, yea, than
much fine
gold:
sweeter also than
honey and the
honeycomb nopheth#
.
11 Moreover by them is thy
servant warned: and in
keeping of them there is
great reward.
12 Who can
understand his
errors?
cleanse thou me from
secret faults.
13 Keep
back thy
servant also from
presumptuous sins; let them not have
dominion over me: then shall I be
upright, and I shall be
innocent from the
great transgression.
14 Let the
words of my
mouth, and the
meditation of my
heart, be
acceptable in thy
sight, O
LORD, my
strength, and my
redeemer.
