¹{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} The heavens declare the glory of ùGod; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.

¹Laulujuhatajale: Taaveti laul.

²Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

²Taevad jutustavad Jumala au ja taevalaotus kuulutab tema kätetööd.

³There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard.

³Päev peab päevale kõnet ja öö kuulutab ööle Jumala tarkust.

⁴Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,

⁴Ei ole see kõne ega sõnad, mille hääl ei kostaks.

⁵And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.

⁵Üle kogu ilmamaa käib nende kõla, maailma otsani nende sõna; neisse on ta püstitanud telgi päikesele.

⁶His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

⁶Ja tema tuleb välja nagu peig oma kambrist, ta on rõõmus nagu kangelane jooksmas oma rada.

⁷The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;

⁷Taeva äärel on ta lähtekoht ja selle teisel äärel on ta pöördepunkt, nõnda et midagi ei jää varjule ta kuumuse eest.

⁸The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;

⁸Issanda Seadus on laitmatu, see kosutab hinge; Issanda tunnistus on ustav, see teeb kohtlase targaks.

⁹The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:

⁹Issanda korraldused on õiglased, need rõõmustavad südant; Issanda käsk on selge, see valgustab silmi.

¹⁰They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.

¹⁰Issanda kartus on puhas, see püsib igavesti; Issanda seadused on tõde, need on kõik õiged;

¹¹Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.

¹¹need on ihaldatavamad kui kuld ja kui palju selget kulda, ja need on magusamad kui mesi ja kui kärjemesi.

¹²Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify me from secret [faults].

¹²Ka sinu sulasele on need hoiatuseks, nende pidamine toob suure palga.

¹³Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.

¹³Eksimused - kes neid märkab? Salajastest pattudest mõista mind vabaks!

¹⁴Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.

¹⁴Ka ülbete pattude eest hoia oma sulast; ärgu need valitsegu mind! Siis ma olen laitmatu ja olen vaba paljudest üleastumistest.

¹⁵Olgu sulle meelepärased mu suu kõned ja mu südame mõtlemised sinu ees, Issand, mu kalju ja mu lunastaja!
