To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens [are] recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse [is] declaring.
2
Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.
3
There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.
4
Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,
5
And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.
6
From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.
7
The law of Jehovah [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah [are] stedfast, Making wise the simple,
8
The precepts of Jehovah [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,
9
The fear of Jehovah [is] clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah [are] true, They have been righteous -- together.
10
They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
11
Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them [is] a great reward.'
