1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.1The heavens are declaring the glory of God, and their expanse shows the work of his hands.
2Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.2Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they reveal knowledge.
3There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.3There is no speech nor are there words— their voice is not heard—
4Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,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,
5Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.5which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, or like a champion who rejoices at the beginning of a race.
6Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.6Its circuit is from one end of the sky to the other, and nothing is hidden from its heat.
7The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;7The Law of the LORD is perfect, restoring life. The testimony of the LORD is steadfast, making foolish people wise.
8The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;8The precepts of the LORD are upright, making the heart rejoice. The commandment of the LORD is pure, giving light to the eyes.
9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.9The fear of the LORD is clean, standing forever. The judgments of the LORD are true; they are altogether righteous.
10More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.10They are more desirable than gold, even much fine gold. They are sweeter than honey, even the drippings from a honeycomb.
11Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward.11Moreover your servant is warned by them; and there is great reward in keeping them.
12Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults.12Who can detect his own mistake? Cleanse me from hidden sin.
13Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression.13Preserve your servant from arrogant people; do not let them rule over me. Then I will be upright and acquitted of great wickedness.
14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.14May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
