| 4yet their message goes out into all the world, and their words to the ends of the earth. He has set up a tent for the sun in the heavens, | 4Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, |
| 5which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, or like a champion who rejoices at the beginning of a race. | 5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. |

| 10They are more desirable than gold, even much fine gold. They are sweeter than honey, even the drippings from a honeycomb. | 10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. |

| 14May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. | 14Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. |
