The heavens are telling the glory of God.
The firmament heralds the works of His hand.
Daily their speech is outpoured.
Nightly their knowledge declared.
Now there is no speaking, nor do they use words.
Their voice is unheard, yet it fills the whole world.
Surely they send out their words unto the ends of the earth.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable in your sight,
O God, my rock and redeemer.
He placed in the heavens a tent for the sun, which comes like a bridegroom
departing his room.
Like a strong man, so it goes, guarding its course full of joy.
From one end of heaven its rising is seen.
Completing its circuit, the other end gleams.
Nothing is hid from its heat.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and redeemer.
The Lord's law is perfect, the soul to revive.
His statements are sure, making simple men wise.
Right precepts gladden the heart, and pure commands brighten the eyes.
Both clean and enduring the fear of the Lord, and righteous completely are all His
true words.
Valued above finest gold, sweeter than pure honeycomb.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and redeemer.
And further your servant is warned by your words.
He always in keeping them finds great reward.
But who discerns all of his flaws?
Clear me from my hidden faults.
So may he be kept from presumptuous sins.
Give them no dominion to rule over him.
Then I shall be innocent, blameless of all greater sins.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and redeemer.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and redeemer.
The heavens are telling the glory of God.
