2 The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.

3 Day to day utters speech,

And night to night proclaims knowledge.

4 There are no speeches or words,

In which their voices are not heard.

5 Their voice is gone out into all the earth,

And their words to the ends of the world.

6 In the sun he has set his tabernacle;

And he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber:

He will exult as a giant to run his course.

7 His going forth is from the extremity of heaven,

And his circuit to the other end of heaven:

And no one shall be hidden from his heat.

8 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls:

The testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.

9 The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart:

The commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.

10 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever and ever:

The judgments of the Lord are true, and justified altogether.

11 To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone:

Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

12 For thy servant keeps to them:

In the keeping of them there is great reward.

13 Who will understand his transgressions?

Purge thou me from my secret sins.

14 And spare thy servant the attack of strangers:

If they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless,

And I shall be clear from great sin.

15 So shall the sayings of my mouth,

And the meditation of my heart,

Be pleasing continually before thee,

O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.
