1. The heavens declare the glory of God,and the skies announce what his hands have made.
2. Day after day they tell the story;night after night they tell it again.
3. They have no speech or words;they have no voice to be heard.
4. But their message goes out through all the world;their words go everywhere on earth.The sky is like a home for the sun.
5. The sun comes out like a bridegroom from his bedroom.It rejoices like an athlete eager to run a race.
6. The sun rises at one end of the skyand follows its path to the other end.Nothing hides from its heat.
7. The teachings of the Lord are perfect;they give new strength.The rules of the Lord can be trusted;they make plain people wise.
8. The orders of the Lord are right;they make people happy.The commands of the Lord are pure;they light up the way.
9. Respect for the Lord is good;it will last forever.The judgments of the Lord are true;they are completely right.
10. They are worth more than gold,even the purest gold.They are sweeter than honey,even the finest honey.
