The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
The law of Yahweh is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of Yahweh is sure, making wise the simple.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
The precepts of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of Yahweh are true; they are righteous altogether.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
_They are_ more desirable than gold, even more than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
Moreover, by them Your slave is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

###### 12

|
Who can discern _his_ errors? Acquit me of hidden _faults_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
Also keep back Your slave from presumptuous _sins_; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Yahweh, my rock and my Redeemer.
