1The heavens declare the glory of God.
The expanse shows his handiwork.
2Day after day they pour out speech,
and night after night they display knowledge.
3There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard.
4Their voice has gone out through all the earth,
their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room,
like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6His going out is from the end of the heavens,
his circuit to its ends;
There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.
Yahweh’s testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
8Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart.
Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever.
Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
11Moreover by them is your servant warned.
In keeping them there is great reward.
12Who can discern his errors?
Forgive me from hidden errors.
13Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I will be upright.
I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
1God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
2Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes,
though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
3though its waters roar and are troubled,
though the mountains tremble with their swelling.
Selah.
4There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad,
the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5God is within her. She shall not be moved.
God will help her at dawn.
6The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved.
He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.
7Yahweh of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
8Come, see Yahweh’s works,
what desolations he has made in the earth.
9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.
He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear.
He burns the chariots in the fire.
10“Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted in the earth.”
11Yahweh of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
