1 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.
1
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky proclaims the work of His hands.
2 Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.
2
Day after day they pour out speech; night after night they communicate knowledge.
3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.
3
There is no speech; there are no words; their voice is not 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,
4
Their message has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path.
5
It is like a groom coming from the bridal chamber; it rejoices like an athlete running a course.
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.
6
It rises from one end of the heavens and circles to their other end; nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The law of Jehovah [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah [are] stedfast, Making wise the simple,
7
The instruction of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise.
8 The precepts of Jehovah [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,
8
The precepts of the Lord are right, making the heart glad; the commandment of the Lord is radiant, making the eyes light up.
9 The fear of Jehovah [is] clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah [are] true, They have been righteous -- together.
9
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are reliable and altogether righteous.
10 They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
10
They are more desirable than gold- than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey- than honey dripping from the comb.
11 Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them [is] a great reward.'
11
In addition, Your servant is warned by them; there is great reward in keeping them.
12 Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,
12
Who perceives his unintentional sins? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
13 Also -- from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression,
13
Moreover, keep Your servant from willful sins; do not let them rule over me. Then I will be innocent, and cleansed from blatant rebellion.
14 Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!
14
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
