1   For the music director. A psalm of David.

  The heavens are telling the glory of God,

  and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.

2   Every day they pour forth speech,

  and every night they tell knowledge.

3   There is no speech and there are no words;

  their sound is inaudible.

4   Yet in all the world their line goes out,

  and their words to the end of the world.

  In them he has pitched a tent for the sun,

5   and it is like a bridegroom

  who comes out of his bridal chamber.

  It is glad like a strong man

  to run its course.

6   Its rising is from one end of the heavens

  and its circuit to the other end of them;

  and nothing is hidden from its heat.

7   The law of Yahweh is perfect, reviving life.

  The testimony of Yahweh is firm, making wise the simple.

8   The precepts of Yahweh are right, making the heart rejoice.

  The command of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9   The fear of Yahweh is pure, enduring forever.

  The ordinances of Yahweh are true; they are righteous altogether,

10   more desirable than gold, even much fine gold;

  and sweeter than honey, even honey in the comb.

11   Moreover, your servant is warned by them;

  in keeping them is great reward.

12   Who can perceive his errors?

  Acquit me from hidden faults.

13   Also, keep back your servant from arrogant sins;

  let them not rule over me.

  Then I shall be blameless,

  and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

14   Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

  be acceptable in your presence,

  O Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.
