1The heavens declare the glory of *God; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.2Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.3There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard.4Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,5And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.6His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.7The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;8The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;9The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:10They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.11Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.12Who understandeth his errors? Purify me from secret faults.13Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.1Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;2May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;3Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; Selah.4Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.5We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!6Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.7Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.8They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.9Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.1The king shall joy in thy strength, Jehovah; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice.2Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.3For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.4He asked life of thee; thou gavest it him, length of days for ever and ever.5His glory is great through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.6For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.7For the king confideth in Jehovah: and through the loving-kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.8Thy hand shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.9Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, and the fire shall devour them:10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.11For they intended evil against thee; they imagined a mischievous device, which they could not execute.12For thou wilt make them turn their back; thou wilt make ready thy bowstring against their face.13Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.
