1To the Chanter, a Psalm of David. The very heavens declare the glory of God, and the very firmament sheweth his handiwork.
2One day telleth another, and one night certifieth another.
3There is neither speech nor language, but their voices are heard among them.
4Their sound is gone out into all lands, and their words in to the ends of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the Sun,(Sone)
5which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course.
6It goeth forth from the one end of the heaven, and runneth about unto the same end again, and there may no man hide himself from the heat thereof.
7The law of the LORD is a perfect law, it quickeneth the soul. The testimony of the LORD is true, and giveth wisdom even unto babes.
8The statutes of the LORD are right, and rejoice the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes.
9The fear of the LORD is clean, and endureth for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10More pleasant are they than gold, yea than much fine gold: sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
11These thy servant keepeth, and for keeping of them there is great reward.
12Who can tell, how oft he offendeth? Oh cleanse thou me from my secret faults.
13Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get dominion over me: so shall I be undefiled and innocent from the great offense.
14Yea the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart shall be acceptable unto thee, O LORD, my helper and my redeemer.
