1  [To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.]
2  The heavens declare the glory of God;
   and the firmament showeth his handiwork.
3  Day unto day uttereth speech,
   and night unto night showeth knowledge.
4  There is no speech nor language,
   where their voice is not heard.
5  Their line is gone out through all the earth,
   and their words to the end of the world.
6  In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
   which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
   and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
7  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.
8  The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul:
   the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
9  The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart:
   the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
10 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever:
   the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
11 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:
   sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
12 Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
   and in keeping of them there is great reward.
13 Who can understand his errors? 
   Cleanse thou me from secret faults.
14 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.
15 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart,
   be acceptable in thy sight,
   O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
