King James Version · 1611
2The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
2The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.
3I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.
4The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.
5The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented 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:
6In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even 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.
7Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, 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.
8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
9He bowed the heavens also, 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.
10And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
11He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.
12At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord:
13The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones 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.
14Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out 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.
15Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
