To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

¹ The heavens declare the glory of God,
   and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
² Day to day pours out speech,
   and night to night reveals knowledge.
³ There is no speech, nor are there words,
   whose voice is not heard.
⁴ Their voice goes out through all the earth,
   and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
   ⁵ which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
   and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
⁶ Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
   and its circuit to the end of them,
   and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

⁷ The law of the LORD is perfect,
   reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
   making wise the simple;
⁸ the precepts of the LORD are right,
   rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure,
   enlightening the eyes;
⁹ the fear of the LORD is clean,
   enduring forever;
the rules of the LORD are true,
   and righteous altogether.
¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold,
   even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
   and drippings of the honeycomb.
¹¹ Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
   in keeping them there is great reward.

¹² Who can discern his errors?
   Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
¹³ Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
   let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
   and innocent of great transgression.

¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
   be acceptable in your sight,
   O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
