¹ The heavens tell about the glory of God.
    The skies announce what his hands have made.
² Each new day tells more of the story,
    and each night reveals more and more about God's power.^[a]
3 You cannot hear them say anything.
    They don't make any sound we can hear.
⁴ But their message goes throughout the world.
    Their teaching reaches the ends of the earth.

The sun's tent is set up in the heavens.
⁵     It comes out like a happy bridegroom from his bedroom.
It begins its path across the sky
    like an athlete eager to run a race.
⁶ It starts at one end of the sky
    and runs all the way to the other end.
    Nothing can hide from its heat.

⁷ The Lord's teachings are perfect.
    They give strength to his people.
The Lord's rules can be trusted.
    They help even the foolish become wise.
⁸ The Lord's laws are right.
    They make people happy.
The Lord's commands are good.
    They show people the right way to live.

⁹ Learning respect for the Lord is good.
    It will last forever.
The Lord's judgments are right.
    They are completely fair.
¹⁰ His teachings are worth more than pure gold.
    They are sweeter than the best honey dripping from the honeycomb.
¹¹ His teachings warn his servants,
    and good things come to those who obey them.

¹² People cannot see their own mistakes,
    so don't let me commit secret sins.
¹³ Don't let me do what I know is wrong.
    Don't let sin control me.
If you help me, I can be pure
    and free from sin.
¹⁴ May my words and thoughts please you.
    Lord, you are my Rock—the one who rescues me.
