¹ The heavens keep telling
    the wonders of God,
    and the skies declare
    what he has done.
² Each day informs
    the following day;
    each night announces
    to the next.
³ They don't speak a word,
    and there is never
    the sound of a voice.
⁴ Yet their message reaches
    all the earth,
    and it travels
    around the world.

In the heavens a tent
    is set up for the sun.
⁵ It rises like a bridegroom
    and gets ready like a hero
    eager to run a race.
⁶ It travels all the way
across the sky.
    Nothing hides from its heat.

⁷ The Law of the Lord is perfect;
    it gives us new life.
His teachings last forever,
    and they give wisdom
    to ordinary people.
⁸ The Lord's instruction is right;
    it makes our hearts glad.
His commands shine brightly,
    and they give us light.

⁹ Worshiping the Lord is sacred;
    he will always be worshiped.
All of his decisions
    are correct and fair.
¹⁰ They are worth more
    than the finest gold
    and are sweeter than honey
    from a honeycomb.

¹¹ By your teachings, Lord,
    I am warned;
    by obeying them,
    I am greatly rewarded.
¹² None of us know our faults.
    Forgive me when I sin
    without knowing it.
¹³ Don't let me do wrong
    on purpose, Lord,
    or let sin have control
    over my life.
Then I will be innocent,
    and not guilty
    of some terrible fault.

¹⁴ Let my words and my thoughts
    be pleasing to you, Lord,
    because you are my mighty rock^[a]
    and my protector.
