| 1: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament
sheweth his handywork. |
| |
| 2: Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
knowledge. |
| |
| 3:
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not
heard. |
| |
| 4: Their 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,
|
| |
| 5: Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and
rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. |
| |
| 6: His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit
unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
|
| |
| 7: The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. |
| |
| 8: The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. |
| |
| 9: The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the
judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. |
| |
| 10: More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine
gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. |
| |
| 11: Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of
them there is great reward. |
| |
| 12: Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret
faults. |
| |
| 13: Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them
not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be
innocent from the great transgression. |
| |
| 14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. |
