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.

May the LORD answer you ^(C1)on a day of trouble! May the ^(C2)name of the ^(C3)God of Jacob ^(F1)protect you!

May He send you help ^(C1)from the sanctuary, And ^(C2)support you from Zion!

May He ^(C1)remember all your meal offerings And ^(F1)(C2)accept your burnt offering! Selah

May He grant you your ^(C1)heart's desire And ^(C2)fulfill your whole plan!

^(F1)We will ^(C1)sing for joy over your ^(F2)victory, And in the name of our God we will ^(C2)set up our banners. May the LORD ^(C3)fulfill all your desires.

Now ^(C1)I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will ^(C2)answer him from His holy heaven With the ^(F1)(C3)saving strength of His right hand.

Some praise their chariots and some their ^(C1)horses, But ^(C2)we will praise the name of the LORD, our God.

They have ^(C1)bowed down and fallen, But we have ^(C2)risen and stood upright.

^(F1)(C1)Save, LORD; May the ^(C2)King answer us on the day we call.
