Psalms

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the expanse proclaims His handiwork.

Day by day [they] pour forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.

[There is] no speech nor [are] there words [where] their voice is not heard.

Their line has gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,

and he comes forth as a bridegroom from his canopy; he rejoices as a strong man to run a race,

going forth from the end of the heavens, and its course [is] to their ends. And there is nothing hid from its heat.

The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making the simple wise.

The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart; the commandments of the LORD [are] pure, giving light to the eyes.

The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether,

more to be desired than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Who can understand [his] errors? Oh make me pure from secret [faults];

and keep Your servant back from presumptuous [sins]; do not let them rule over me; then I shall be upright, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
