[For the music director; a psalm of David.] The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky displays his handiwork. |
2
|
Day after day it speaks out; night after night it reveals his greatness. |
3
|
There is no actual speech or word, nor is its voice literally heard. |
4
|
Yet its voice echoes throughout the earth; its words carry to the distant horizon. In the sky he has pitched a tent for the sun. |
5
|
Like a bridegroom it emerges from its chamber; like a strong man it enjoys running its course. |
6
|
It emerges from the distant horizon, and goes from one end of the sky to the other; nothing can escape its heat. |
7
|
The law of the LORD is perfect and preserves one's life. The rules set down by the LORD are reliable and impart wisdom to the inexperienced. |
8
|
The LORD's precepts are fair and make one joyful. The LORD's commands are pure and give insight for life. |
9
|
The commands to fear the LORD are right and endure forever. The judgments given by the LORD are trustworthy and absolutely just. |
10
|
They are of greater value than gold, than even a great amount of pure gold; they bring greater delight than honey, than even the sweetest honey from a honeycomb. |
11
|
Yes, your servant finds moral guidance there; those who obey them receive a rich reward. |
12
|
Who can know all his errors? Please do not punish me for sins I am unaware of. |
13
|
Moreover, keep me from committing flagrant sins; do not allow such sins to control me. Then I will be blameless, and innocent of blatant rebellion. |
14
|
May my words and my thoughts be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my sheltering rock and my redeemer. |
