2The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; myGod, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.
3 I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.
4 The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.
5Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.
5 The bands of Sheol surrounded me, the cords of death encountered me.
6He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he as a bridegroom coming out of his bridechamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:
6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to myGod; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.
7His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.
8The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.
9The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
9 And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
10The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
10 And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.
11More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
11 He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.
12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.
13Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord:
13 And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.
14And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
14 And he sent his arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
15And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper and my Redeemer.
15 And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
