Only Version ❧ SM · 6·6·8·6
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 The heavens do declare the majesty of God: also the firmament shows forth his handywork abroad. 2 Day speaks to day, knowledge night hath to night declar’d. 3 There neither speech nor language is, where their voice is not heard.
4 Through all the earth their line is gone forth, and unto the utmost end of all the world, their speeches reach also: a tabernacle he in them pitch’d for the sun. 5 Who bridegroom like from’s chamber goes glad giant’s race to run.
6 From heaven’s utmost end, his course and compassing; to ends of it, and from the heat thereof is hid nothing. 7 The Lord’s law perfect is, the soul converting back: God’s testimony faithful is, makes wise who wisdom lack.
8 The statutes of the Lord, are right, and glad the heart: the Lord’s commandement is pure, light doth to eyes impart. 9 Jehovah’s fear is clean, and doth endure for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.
10 Than gold, than much fine gold, more to be prized are, than honey, and the honeycomb, sweeter they are by far. 11 Also thy servant is admonished from hence: and in the keeping of the same is a full recompence.
12 Who can his errors know? from secret faults cleanse me. 13 And from presumptuous sins, let thou kept back thy servant be: let them not bear the rule in me, and then shall I be perfect, and shall cleansed be from much iniquity.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the thoughts of my heart, be pleasing with thee, Lord, my Rock, who my redeemer art.
