[1]THE heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork.[2]Day after day utters speech, and night after night shows knowledge.[3]There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.[4]Their good news has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. He has set his tabernacle in the sun among them.[5]And he is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices 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 thereof; and there is nothing hid from the mist of his breath.[7]The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the young men.[8]The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.[9]The reverence of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.[10]They are more to be coveted than gold; yea, than precious stones; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.[11]Moreover by them is thy servant warned; and if he keep them he shall be greatly rewarded.[12]Who can understand stumblings? Cleanse thou me from secret faults.[13]Spare thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest the evil ones have dominion over me; then shall I be cleansed from my sins.[14]Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my helper and my Saviour.
