Psalm 18

Select Translation

1 For the end, a Psalm of David.
2 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.
3 Day to day utters speech, And night to night proclaims knowledge.
4 There are no speeches or words, In which their voices are not heard.
5 Their voice is gone out into all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.
6 In the sun he has set his tabernacle; And he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: He will exult as a giant to run his course.
7 His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, And his circuit to the other end of heaven: And no one shall be hidden from his heat.
8 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: The testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.
9 The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.
10 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever and ever: The judgments of the Lord are true, and justified altogether.
11 To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
12 For thy servant keeps to them: In the keeping of them there is great reward.
13 Who will understand his transgressions? Purge thou me from my secret sins.
14 And spare thy servant the attack of strangers: If they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, And I shall be clear from great sin.
15 So shall the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be pleasing continually before thee, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.
