The Works and the Word of God.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
The Aheavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their Bexpanse is declaring the work of His hands.
Day to Aday pours forth speech,
And Bnight to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
Their 1Aline has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
In them He has Bplaced a tent for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
Its Arising is from 1one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the 2other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
AThe law of the Lord is 1Bperfect, Crestoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is Dsure, making Ewise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are Aright, Brejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is Cpure, Denlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are Atrue; they are Brighteous altogether.
10 They are more desirable than Agold, yes, than much fine gold;
BSweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
11  Moreover, by them AYour servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great Breward.
12  Who can Adiscern his errors? BAcquit me of Chidden faults.
13  Also keep back Your servant Afrom presumptuous sins;
Let them not Brule over me;
Then I will be 1Cblameless,
And I shall be acquitted of Dgreat transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and Athe meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, Bmy rock and my CRedeemer.
