1 How clearly the sky reveals God's glory! How plainly it shows what he has done! 

2 Each day announces it to the following day; each night repeats it to the next. 

3 No speech or words are used, no sound is heard; 

4 yet their message goes out to all the world and is heard to the ends of the earth. God made a home in the sky for the sun; 

5 it comes out in the morning like a happy bridegroom, like an athlete eager to run a race. 

6 It starts at one end of the sky and goes across to the other. Nothing can hide from its heat. 

7 The law of the Lord is perfect; it gives new strength. The commands of the Lord are trustworthy, giving wisdom to those who lack it. 

8 The laws of the Lord are right, and those who obey them are happy. The commands of the Lord are just and give understanding to the mind. 

9 Reverence for the Lord is good; it will continue forever. The judgments of the Lord are just; they are always fair. 

10 They are more desirable than the finest gold; they are sweeter than the purest honey. 

11 They give knowledge to me, your servant; I am rewarded for obeying them. 

12 None of us can see our own errors; deliver me, Lord, from hidden faults! 

13 Keep me safe, also, from willful sins; don't let them rule over me. Then I shall be perfect and free from the evil of sin. 

14 May my words and my thoughts be acceptable to you, O Lord, my refuge and my redeemer!
