2 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth the work of his hands.

3 Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night showeth knowledge.

4 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

5 Their line hath 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,

6 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

7 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit to the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from his heat.

8 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

9 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

10 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

11 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.

12 Moreover, by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

13 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

14 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.
