1(For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid)

2HaShomayim declare the kavod of G-d;
and the raki'a (firmament) showeth His handiwork.

3Yom unto yom uttereth speech,
and lailah unto lailah showeth da'as.

4There is no speech nor devarim (language),
where their voice is not heard.

5Their measuring line is gone out through kol ha'aretz,
and their words to the end of the tevel (world).
In them hath He set an ohel for the shemesh,

6Which is like a choson coming out of his chuppah,
and rejoiceth as a gibbor to run a race.

7Its going forth is from the end of HaShomayim,
and its circuit unto the ends of it;
and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

8The torah of Hashem is temimah,
converting the nefesh, ¹⁵
the edut of Hashem is ne'emanah,
making wise the simple.

9The precepts of Hashem are yasharim (right),
rejoicing the lev;
the mitzvat Hashem is bara (clear, pure),
enlightening the eyes.

10The yirat Hashem(fear of the L-rd) is tehorah (clean),
enduring forever;
the mishpatim of Hashem are emes
and righteous altogether.

11More to be desired are they than zahav,
yea, than much fine gold;
sweeter also than devash and the honeycomb.

12Moreover by them is Thy eved warned;
and in being shomer over them there is great reward.

13Who can discern his errors?
Cleanse Thou me from nistarot (secret ones).

14Keep back Thy eved also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me;
then shall I be upright,
and I shall be innocent from the peysha rav (great transgression).

15Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my lev,
be acceptable in Thy sight,
O Hashem, my Tzur (rock), and Go'ali (my Redeemer).
