לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד	1	For the director. A psalm. By David.
הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם מְֽסַפְּרִ֥ים כְּבֽוֹד־אֵ֑ל	2a	The sky is declaring God’s honor,
וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָ֝דָ֗יו מַגִּ֥יד הָרָקִֽיעַ׃	2b	and the firmament is telling about the workmanship of his hands.
י֣וֹם לְ֭יוֹם יַבִּ֣יעַֽ אֹ֑מֶר	3a	Day after day pours out speech,
וְלַ֥יְלָה לְּ֝לַ֗יְלָה יְחַוֶּה־דָּֽעַת׃	3b	and night after night imparts knowledge.
אֵֽין־אֹ֭מֶר וְאֵ֣ין דְּבָרִ֑ים בְּ֝לִ֗י נִשְׁמָ֥ע	4a	There is no speech, and there are no words
קוֹלָֽם׃	4b	whose sound is not being heard.
בְּכָל־הָאָ֨רֶץ ׀ יָ֘צָ֤א קַוָּ֗ם	5a	Its verse line has gone forth throughout the whole earth,
וּבִקְצֵ֣ה תֵ֭בֵל מִלֵּיהֶ֑ם לַ֝שֶּׁ֗מֶשׁ	5b	and its words [have gone forth] throughout the edge of the world.
שָֽׂם־אֹ֥הֶל בָּהֶֽם׃	5c	He has set up in it a home for the sun,
וְה֗וּא כְּ֭חָתָן יֹצֵ֣א מֵחֻפָּת֑וֹ	6a	and he is like a bridegroom coming out of his tent.
יָשִׂ֥ישׂ כְּ֝גִבּ֗וֹר לָר֥וּץ אֹֽרַח׃	6b	He is glad, like a warrior, to run his course.
מִקְצֵ֤ה הַשָּׁמַ֨יִם ׀ מֽוֹצָא֗וֹ וּתְקוּפָת֥וֹ	7a	His starting point is from the edge of the sky, and his turning point is
עַל־קְצוֹתָ֑ם וְאֵ֥ין נִ֝סְתָּ֗ר מֵֽחַמָּתוֹ׃	7b	at its edges, and nothing is hidden from his heat.
תּ֘וֹרַ֤ת יְהוָ֣ה תְּ֭מִימָה מְשִׁ֣יבַת נָ֑פֶשׁ עֵד֥וּת	8a	YHWH’s instruction is perfect, restoring life.
יְהוָ֥ה נֶ֝אֱמָנָ֗ה מַחְכִּ֥ימַת פֶּֽתִי׃	8b	YHWH’s testimony is reliable, making simpletons wise.
פִּקּ֘וּדֵ֤י יְהוָ֣ה יְ֭שָׁרִים מְשַׂמְּחֵי־לֵ֑ב מִצְוַ֥ת יְהוָ֥ה	9a	YHWH’s commandments are just, causing the heart to rejoice. YHWH’s command is
בָּ֝רָ֗ה מְאִירַ֥ת עֵינָֽיִם׃	9b	flawless, giving light to the eyes.
יִרְאַ֤ת יְהוָ֨ה ׀ טְהוֹרָה֮ עוֹמֶ֪דֶת לָ֫עַ֥ד	10a	Fearing YHWH is pure, enduring forever.
מִֽשְׁפְּטֵי־יְהוָ֥ה אֱמֶ֑ת צָֽדְק֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃	10b	YHWH’s rules are true; they are altogether right;
הַֽנֶּחֱמָדִ֗ים מִ֭זָּהָב וּמִפַּ֣ז רָ֑ב	11a	those which are more desirable than gold, even much pure gold,
וּמְתוּקִ֥ים מִ֝דְּבַ֗שׁ וְנֹ֣פֶת צוּפִֽים׃	11b	and sweeter than honey, even virgin honey from the honeycomb.
גַּֽם־עַ֭בְדְּךָ נִזְהָ֣ר בָּהֶ֑ם	12a	Furthermore, your servant is warned by them. There is
בְּ֝שָׁמְרָ֗ם עֵ֣קֶב רָֽב׃	12b	great reward in keeping them.
שְׁגִיא֥וֹת מִֽי־יָבִ֑ין	13a	Who can discern mistakes?
מִֽנִּסְתָּר֥וֹת נַקֵּֽנִי׃	13b	Clear me from the guilt of hidden sins!
גַּ֤ם מִזֵּדִ֨ים ׀ חֲשֹׂ֬ךְ עַבְדֶּ֗ךָ	14a	Also, prevent your servant from committing presumptuous sins!
אַֽל־יִמְשְׁלוּ־בִ֣י אָ֣ז אֵיתָ֑ם וְ֝נִקֵּ֗יתִי	14b	Do not let them rule over me! Then I will be blameless and innocent
מִפֶּ֥שַֽׁע רָֽב׃	14c	of great crime.
יִֽהְי֥וּ לְרָצ֨וֹן ׀ אִמְרֵי־פִ֡י וְהֶגְי֣וֹן לִבִּ֣י לְפָנֶ֑יךָ	15a	Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before you,
יְ֝הוָ֗ה	15b	YHWH,
צוּרִ֥י וְגֹאֲלִֽי׃	15c	my rock and my redeemer!
