¹For the choir leader. A psalm of David.
The heavens tell about the glory of God.
The skies show what his hands have made. ²Day after day they pour out speech.
Night after night they show what they know. ³They have no speech or words.
No sound is heard from them. ⁴Yet their voice has gone out into all the earth.
Their words have gone to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has set up a tent for the sun. ⁵The sun is like a groom coming out of his room.
It is like a strong runner who is glad to run his race. ⁶It rises at one end of the heavens.
It travels all the way to the other end.
Nothing is hidden from its heat. ⁷The Law of the LORD is perfect.
It gives new life to the soul.
What the LORD says can be trusted.
It makes simple people wise. ⁸The rules of the LORD are right.
They bring joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD shine bright.
They give light to the eyes. ⁹The fear of the LORD is pure.
It lasts forever.
The judgments of the LORD are true.
They are all completely right. ¹⁰They are worth more than gold,
even lots of pure gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
even honey straight from the comb. ¹¹Your servant is warned by them.
There is a great reward for keeping them. ¹²Who can see his own mistakes?
Make me clean from my hidden faults. ¹³Keep your servant from sins I choose to do.
Do not let them rule over me.
Then I will be without blame.
I will be clean from great sin. ¹⁴May the words of my mouth
and the thoughts of my heart please you,
LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
