Psalms

¹ For the director of music. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

² night after night they display knowledge.

³ where their voice is not heard.

⁴ their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,

⁵ like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

⁶ and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.

⁷ reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

⁸ giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

⁹ enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous.

¹⁰ than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.

¹¹ in keeping them there is great reward.

¹² Forgive my hidden faults.

¹³ may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.

¹⁴ be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
