The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork.
|

Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
|
| 5 |
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
|
| 6 |

|
| 7 |
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.
|
| 8 |
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
|
| 9 |
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.
|
| 10 |
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward.
|

Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults.
|

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, And I shall be clear from great transgression.
|
| 14 |
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
