Psalms 18
1For the end, a Psalm of David.
2The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.
3Day to day + 18:3 Gr. eructat.utters speech, and night to night proclaims knowledge.
4There are no speeches or words, + 18:4 Gr. of which.in which their voices are not heard.
5+ 18:5 Rom. 10. 18. Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
6In 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.
7His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his + 18:7 Gr. meeting.circuit to the other end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.
8The law of the Lord is + 18:8 Gr. spotless.perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.
9The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.
10The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, and justified altogether.
11To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
12For thy servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them there is great reward.
13Who will understand his transgressions? purge thou me from my secret sins.
14And 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.
15So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before thee, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.
