1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
    The skies display his craftsmanship.

2 Day after day they continue to speak;
    night after night they make him known.

3 They speak without a sound or word;
    their voice is never heard.[a]

4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
    and their words to all the world.God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.

5 It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding.
    It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race.

6 The sun rises at one end of the heavens
    and follows its course to the other end.
    Nothing can hide from its heat.
7 The instructions of the Lord are perfect,
    reviving the soul.
The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy,
    making wise the simple.

8 The commandments of the Lord are right,
    bringing joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are clear,
    giving insight for living...
