1 <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> The heavens are sounding the glory of God; the arch of the sky makes clear the work of his hands.

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃

2 Day after day it sends out its word, and night after night it gives knowledge.

2 הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם מְֽסַפְּרִ֥ים כְּבֹֽוד־אֵ֑ל וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָ֝דָ֗יו מַגִּ֥יד הָרָקִֽיעַ׃

3 There are no words or language; their voice makes no sound.

3 יֹ֣ום לְ֭יֹום יַבִּ֣יעַֽ אֹ֑מֶר וְלַ֥יְלָה לְּ֝לַ֗יְלָה יְחַוֶּה־דָּֽעַת׃

4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he put a tent for the sun,

4 אֵֽין־אֹ֭מֶר וְאֵ֣ין דְּבָרִ֑ים בְּ֝לִ֗י נִשְׁמָ֥ע קֹולָֽם׃

5 Who is like a newly married man coming from his bride-tent, and is glad like a strong runner starting on his way.

5 בְּכָל־הָאָ֨רֶץ׀ יָ֘צָ֤א קַוָּ֗ם וּבִקְצֵ֣ה תֵ֭בֵל מִלֵּיהֶ֑ם לַ֝שֶּׁ֗מֶשׁ שָֽׂם־אֹ֥הֶל בָּהֶֽם׃

6 His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circle to the ends of it; there is nothing which is not open to his heat.

6 וְה֗וּא כְּ֭חָתָן יֹצֵ֣א מֵחֻפָּתֹ֑ו יָשִׂ֥ישׂ כְּ֝גִבֹּ֗ור לָר֥וּץ אֹֽרַח׃

7 The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.

7 מִקְצֵ֤ה הַשָּׁמַ֨יִם׀ מֹֽוצָאֹ֗ו וּתְקוּפָתֹ֥ו עַל־קְצֹותָ֑ם וְאֵ֥ין נִ֝סְתָּ֗ר מֵֽחַמָּתֹו¹׃

8 The orders of the Lord are right, making glad the heart: the rule of the Lord is holy, giving light to the eyes.

8 תֹּ֘ורַ֤ת יְהוָ֣ה תְּ֭מִימָה מְשִׁ֣יבַת נָ֑פֶשׁ עֵד֥וּת יְהוָ֥ה נֶ֝אֱמָנָ֗ה מַחְכִּ֥ימַת פֶּֽתִי׃

9 The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness.

9 פִּקּ֘וּדֵ֤י יְהוָ֣ה יְ֭שָׁרִים מְשַׂמְּחֵי־לֵ֑ב מִצְוַ֥ת יְהוָ֥ה בָּ֝רָ֗ה מְאִירַ֥ת עֵינָֽיִם׃

10 More to be desired are they than gold, even than much shining gold; sweeter than the dropping honey.

10 יִרְאַ֤ת יְהוָ֨ה׀ טְהֹורָה֮ עֹומֶ֪דֶת לָ֫עַ֥ד מִֽשְׁפְּטֵי־יְהוָ֥ה אֱמֶ֑ת צָֽדְק֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃

11 By them is your servant made conscious of danger, and in keeping them there is great reward.

11 הַֽנֶּחֱמָדִ֗ים מִ֭זָּהָב וּמִפַּ֣ז רָ֑ב וּמְתוּקִ֥ים מִ֝דְּבַ֗שׁ וְנֹ֣פֶת צוּפִֽים׃

12 Who has full knowledge of his errors? make me clean from secret evil.

12 גַּֽם־עַ֭בְדְּךָ נִזְהָ֣ר בָּהֶ֑ם בְּ֝שָׁמְרָ֗ם עֵ֣קֶב רָֽב׃

13 Keep your servant back from sins of pride; let them not have rule over me: then will I be upright and free from great sin.

13 שְׁגִיאֹ֥ות מִֽי־יָבִ֑ין מִֽנִּסְתָּרֹ֥ות נַקֵּֽנִי׃

14 Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing in your eyes, O Lord, my strength and my salvation.

14 גַּ֤ם מִזֵּדִ֨ים׀ חֲשֹׂ֬ךְ עַבְדֶּ֗ךָ אַֽל־יִמְשְׁלוּ־בִ֣י אָ֣ז אֵיתָ֑ם וְ֝נִקֵּ֗יתִי מִפֶּ֥שַֽׁע רָֽב׃
