In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and like a strong man runs its course with joy.
6Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them;
and there is nothing hid from its heat.
7The law of Yahweh is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of Yahweh is sure, making wise the simple;
8the precepts of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9the fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring for ever;
the ordinances of Yahweh are true, and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
11Moreover by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12But who can discern his errors?
Clear me from hidden faults.
13Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
14Let the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight, O Yahweh,
my rock and my redeemer.
