The ^(C1)heavens tell of the glory of God; And their ^(C2)expanse declares the work of His hands.

Day to ^(C1)day pours forth speech, And ^(C2)night to night reveals knowledge.

There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard.

Their ^(F1)(C1)line has gone out into all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has ^(C2)placed a tent for the sun,

Which is like a groom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices like a strong person to run his course.

Its ^(C1)rising is from ^(F1)one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the ^(F2)other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

^(C1)The Law of the LORD is ^(F1)(C2)perfect, ^(C3)restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is ^(C4)sure, making ^(C5)wise the simple.

The precepts of the LORD are ^(C1)right, ^(C2)rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is ^(C3)pure, ^(C4)enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are ^(C1)true; they are ^(C2)righteous altogether.

They are more desirable than ^(C1)gold, yes, than much pure gold; ^(C2)Sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

Moreover, ^(C1)Your servant is warned by them; In keeping them there is great ^(C2)reward.

Who can ^(C1)discern his errors? ^(C2)Acquit me of ^(C3)hidden faults.

Also keep Your servant back ^(C1)from presumptuous sins; Let them not ^(C2)rule over me; Then I will be ^(C3)innocent, And I will be blameless of ^(C4)great wrongdoing.

May the words of my mouth and ^(C1)the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, LORD, ^(C2)my rock and my ^(C3)Redeemer.
