1 The heavens declare the glory ofGod; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.
1 The heavens are sounding the glory of God; the arch of the sky makes clear the work of his hands.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
2Day after day it sends out its word, and night after night it gives knowledge.
3 There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard.
3There are no words or language; their voice makes no sound.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,
4Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he put a tent for the sun,
5 And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.
5Who is like a newly married man coming from his bride-tent, and is glad like a strong runner starting on his way.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
6His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circle to the ends of it; there is nothing which is not open to his heat.
7 The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;
7The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.
8 The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;
8The orders of the Lord are right, making glad the heart: the rule of the Lord is holy, giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:
9The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness.
10 They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.
10More to be desired are they than gold, even than much shining gold; sweeter than the dropping honey.
11 Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.
11By them is your servant made conscious of danger, and in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify me from secret [faults].
12Who has full knowledge of his errors? make me clean from secret evil.
