\d A psalm written by David for the choir director
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 1 When people look at everything that God has placed in the skies, they can see that he is very great;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 they can see the great things that he has created.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 Day after day it is as though the sun proclaims the glory of God,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and night after night it is as though the moon and stars say that they know that God made them.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 They do not really speak;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 they do not say any words.
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 There is no sound from them for anyone to hear.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 4 But what they declare about God goes throughout the world,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and even people who live in the most distant places on earth can know it.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 The sun is in the skies where God placed it;
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 5 it rises each morning like a bridegroom who is happy as he comes out of his bedroom after his wedding.
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 It is like a strong athlete who is very eager to start running in a race.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 6 The sun rises at one side of the sky and goes across the sky and sets on the other side;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 nothing can hide from its heat.

\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 7 The instructions that Yahweh has given us are perfect;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 they revive us.
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 We can be sure that the things that Yahweh has told us will never change,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and by learning them people who have not been previously taught will become wise.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 8 Yahweh's laws are fair;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 when we obey them, we become joyful.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 The commands of Yahweh are clear,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and by reading them we start to understand how God wants us to behave.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 9 It is good for people to revere Yahweh;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 that is something that they will do forever.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 What Yahweh has decreed is fair,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and it is always right.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 10 The things that God has decided are more valuable than gold,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 even the finest gold.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 They are sweeter than honey
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 that drips from honeycombs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 11 Furthermore, by reading them I learn what things are good to do and what things are evil,
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 and they promise a great reward
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 to us who obey them.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 12 But here is no one who can know all his errors;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 so Yahweh, forgive me for these things which I do that I do not realize are wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 13 Keep me from doing things that I know are wrong;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 do not let me keep doing the evil things I want to do.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 If you do that, I will no longer be guilty for committing such sins,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and I will not commit the great sin of rebelling terribly against you.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 14 O Yahweh, you are like a huge rock on top of which I can be safe; you are the one who protects me.
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 I hope that the things that I say and what I think will always please you.
