1Unto the end. A psalm for David.
1The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.
2Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.
3There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
4May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.
4Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.
5which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.
6His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.
7The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
8Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.
8The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright. O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
