For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1The heavens declare the glory of God;the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
2Day after day they pour forth speech;night after night they reveal knowledge.
3Without speech or language,without a sound to be heard,+
4their voice+has gone out into all the earth,their words to the ends of the world.+
In the heavens He has pitcheda tent for the sun.
5Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber,like a champion rejoicing to run his course,
6it rises at one end of the heavensand runs its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
7The Law of the LORD is perfect,reviving the soul;the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy,making wise the simple.
8The precepts of the LORD are right,bringing joy to the heart;the commandments of the LORD are radiant,giving light to the eyes.
9The fear of the LORD is pure,enduring forever;the judgments of the LORD are true,being altogether righteous.
10They are more precious than gold,than much pure gold;they are sweeter than honey,than honey from the comb.
11By them indeed Your servant is warned;in keeping them is great reward.
12Who can discern his own errors?Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
13Keep Your servant also from willful sins;may they not rule over me.Then I will be blamelessand cleansed of great transgression.
14May the words of my mouthand the meditation of my heartbe pleasing in Your sight,O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
