[1] The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his
handiwork. [2] Day after day they pour forth speech, And night after
night they display knowledge. [3] There is no speech nor language, Where
their voice is not heard. [4] Their voice has gone out through all the
earth, Their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent
for the sun, [5] Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
Like a strong man rejoicing to run his course. [6] His going forth is from
the end of the heavens, His circuit to the ends of it; There is
nothing hid from the heat of it. [7] The law of Yahweh is perfect,
restoring the soul. The testimony of Yahweh is sure, making wise the
simple. [8] The precepts of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart. The
commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes. [9] The fear of
Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. The ordinances of Yahweh are true,
and righteous altogether. [10] More to be desired are they than gold, yes,
than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the extract of the
honeycomb. [11] Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them
there is great reward. [12] Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from
hidden errors. [13] Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.
Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright, I will be
blameless and innocent of great transgression. [14] Let the words of my
mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in your sight,
Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer. Psalm 20 For the Chief Musician. A
Psalm by David.
