 It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens and runs about to the end of it again; * nothing is hidden from its burning heat.

The law of the is perfect  and revives the soul; * the testimony of the is sure  and gives wisdom to the innocent.

The statutes of the are just  and rejoice the heart; * the commandment of the is clear  and gives light to the eyes.

The fear of the is clean  and endures for ever; * the judgments of the are true  and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, more than much fine gold, * sweeter far than honey, than honey in the comb.

By them also is your servant enlightened, * and in keeping them there is great reward.

Who can tell how often he offends? * cleanse me from my secret faults.

Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins; let them not get dominion over me; * then shall I be whole and sound, and innocent of a great offense.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, * O, my strength and my redeemer.
