The Perfect Revelation of the Lord
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 Theheavens declare the glory of God;
# And thefirmament shows His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3 Thereisno speech nor language
Wheretheir voice is not heard.
4 Their 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,
5 Whichislike a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
# Andrejoices like a strong man to run its race.
6 Its risingisfrom one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 The law of theLordisperfect, converting the soul;
# The testimony of theLordissure, makingwise the simple;
8 The statutes of theLordareright, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of theLordispure, enlightening the eyes;
9 The fear of theLordisclean, enduring forever;
The judgments of theLordaretrueandrighteous altogether.
10 More to be desiredaretheythangold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
Andin keeping themthereisgreat reward.
12 Who can understandhiserrors?
# Cleanse me from secretfaults.
13 Keep back Your servant also frompresumptuoussins;
# Let them not havedominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
# OLord, my strength and myRedeemer.
