The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. |

Day after day they pour forth speech, And night after night they display knowledge. |
3
|
There is no speech nor language, Where their voice is not heard. |
4
|
Their voice has gone out through all the earth, Their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, |
5
|
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, Like a strong man rejoicing to run his course. |
6
|
His going forth is from the end of the heavens, His circuit to the ends of it; There is nothing hid from the heat of it. |
7
|
The law of Yahweh is perfect, restoring the soul. The testimony of Yahweh is sure, making wise the simple. |
8
|
The precepts of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes. |
9
|
The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. The ordinances of Yahweh are true, and righteous altogether. |

|
More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.

|
Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward. |
12
|
Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors. |
13
|
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright, I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression. |

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer. Psalm 20 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. |
