1 The ^aheavens declare the glory of God;
And the ^bfirmament shows His handiwork. ‡

2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.

4 ^aTheir¹ line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a¹ tabernacle for the sun, ‡

5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
^aAnd rejoices like a strong man to run its race. ‡

6 Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 ^aThe law of the Lord is perfect,¹ converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ^bwise the simple; ‡

8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
