¹ ⓐ The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above[1] proclaims his handiwork.

² Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.

³ There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.

⁴ ⓑ Theirⓒ voice[2] goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent forⓓ the sun,

⁵ ⓔ which comes out likeⓕ a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.

⁶ Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

⁷ ⓖ The law of the LORD is perfect,[3] ⓗreviving the soul; ⓘthe testimony of the LORD isⓙ sure, ⓚmaking wiseⓛ the simple;

⁸ ⓜ the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD isⓝ pure, ⓞenlightening the eyes;

⁹ the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules[4] of the LORD areⓟ true, and righteous altogether.

¹⁰ More to be desired are they thanⓠ gold, even muchⓡ fine gold; ⓢsweeter also than honey and drippings ofⓣ the honeycomb.

¹¹ Moreover, by them is your servant warned; ⓤin keeping them there is great reward.

¹² ⓥ Who can discern his errors? ⓦDeclare me innocent fromⓧ hidden faults.

¹³ ⓨ Keep back your servant also fromⓩ presumptuous sins; let them not haveⓐ dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.

¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, myⓑ rock and myⓒ redeemer.
