To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1The aheavens declare the glory of God;

And the bfirmament 1shows 2His handiwork.

2Day unto day utters speech,

And night unto night reveals knowledge.

3There is no speech nor language

Where their voice is not heard.

4cTheir 3line has gone out through all the earth,

And their words to the end of the world.

In them He has set a 4tabernacle for the sun,

5Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

dAnd rejoices like a strong man to run its race.

6Its rising is from one end of heaven,

And its circuit to the other end;

And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7eThe law of the Lord is perfect, 5converting the soul;

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making fwise the simple;

8The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;

The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;

9The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;

The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

10More to be desired are they than ggold,

Yea, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the 6honeycomb.

11Moreover by them Your servant is warned,

And in keeping them there is great reward.

12Who can understand his errors?

hCleanse me from secret faults.

13Keep back Your servant also from ipresumptuous sins;

Let them not have jdominion over me.

Then I shall be blameless,

And I shall be innocent of 7great transgression.
