To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse is declaring. |
2 |
Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge. |
3 |
There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard. |
4 |
Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them, |
5 |
And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path. |
6 |
From the end of the heavens is his going out, And his revolution is unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat. |
7 |
The law of Jehovah is perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah are stedfast, Making wise the simple, |
8 |
The precepts of Jehovah are upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes, |
9 |
The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous -- together. |
10 |
They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb. |
11 |
Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them is a great reward.` |
12 |
Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent, |
13 |
Also -- from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression, |
14 |
Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer! |
