For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God

1<To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> The heavens are sounding the glory of God; the arch of the sky makes clear the work of his hands.+ 2Day after day it sends out its word, and night after night it gives knowledge.+ 3There are no words or language; their voice makes no sound.+ 4Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he put a tent for the sun,+ 5Who is like a newly married man coming from his bride-tent, and is glad like a strong runner starting on his way.+ 6His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circle to the ends of it; there is nothing which is not open to his heat.+ 7The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.+ 8The orders of the Lord are right, making glad the heart: the rule of the Lord is holy, giving light to the eyes.+ 9The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness.+ 10More to be desired are they than gold, even than much shining gold; sweeter than the dropping honey.+ 11By them is your servant made conscious of danger, and in keeping them there is great reward.+ 12Who has full knowledge of his errors? make me clean from secret evil.+ 13Keep your servant back from sins of pride; let them not have rule over me: then will I be upright and free from great sin.+ 14Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing in your eyes, O Lord, my strength and my salvation.+
