The Works and Word of God

191 The heavens are telling of the glory of God ; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands . 2 Day to day pours forth speech , And night to night reveals knowledge . 3 There is no speech , nor are there words ; Their voice is not heard . 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth , And their utterances to the end of the world . In them He has placed a tent for the sun , 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber ; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course . 6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens , And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat .

7 The law of the Lord is perfect , restoring 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 judgments of the Lord are true ; they are righteous altogether . 10 They are more desirable than gold , yes, than much fine gold ; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb . 11 Moreover , by them Your servant is warned ; In keeping them there is great reward . 12 Who can discern his errors ? Acquit me of hidden faults. 13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless , And I shall be acquitted 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 .
