1The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.1The heavens declare the glory of God, and the expanse proclaims the work of his hands.
2Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.2Day after day they pour out speech; night after night they communicate knowledge.
3There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.3There is no speech; there are no words; their voice is not heard.
4Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,4Their message has gone out to the whole earth, and their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun.
5which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.5It is like a bridegroom coming from his home; it rejoices like an athlete running a course.
6Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.6It rises from one end of the heavens and circles to their other end; nothing is hidden from its heat.
7The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;7The instruction of the LORD is perfect, renewing one's life; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise.
8the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;8The precepts of the LORD are right, making the heart glad; the command of the LORD is radiant, making the eyes light up.
9the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.9The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the LORD are reliable and altogether righteous.
10More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.10They are more desirable than gold--than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey dripping from a honeycomb.
11Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.11In addition, your servant is warned by them, and in keeping them there is an abundant reward.
12Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults.12Who perceives his unintentional sins? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
13Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.13Moreover, keep your servant from willful sins; do not let them rule me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed from blatant rebellion.
14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.14May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.
