Caeli enarrant.
1 The heavens declare the | glor•y of | God; ||
and the | firma•ment | 3 showeth his | handi•work. ||
1 The heavens declare the | glor•y of | God; ||
and the | firma•ment | 3 showeth his | handy•work. ||
2 One day | 3 telleth an- | other; ||
and one night | certi- | 3 fieth an- | other. ||
3 There is neither | speech nor | language; ||
but their | voices • are | heard a- | mong them. ||
4 Their sound is gone | out • into | all lands; ||
and their | words in•to the | ends • of the | world. ||
5 In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun; * which cometh forth as a | bridegroom • out of his | chamber, ||
and rejoiceth as a | 3 giant to | run his | course. ||
6 It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, * and runneth about unto the | end of • it a- | gain; ||
and there is | nothing | hid • from the | heat there•of. ||
7 The law of the Lord is an undefiled law, con- | 3 verting the | soul; ||
the testimony of the Lord is sure, and giveth | wisdom | 3 unto the | simple. ||
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, and re- | joice the | heart; ||
the commandment of the Lord is pure, and | giveth | light un•to the | eyes. ||
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, and en- | 3 dureth for | ever; ||
the judgments of the Lord are true, and | righteous | alto- | gether. ||
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than | much fine | gold; ||
sweeter | 3 also than | honey, • and the | honey•comb. ||
11 Moreover, by them is thy | servant | taught; ||
and in keeping of them | there is | great re- | ward. ||
12 Who can tell how | oft • he of- | fendeth? ||
O cleanse thou 3 me | from my | secret | faults. ||
13 Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, * lest they | 3 get the • do- | minion • over me; ||
so shall I be undefiled, and | innocent • from the | great of- | fence. ||
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the medi- | tation • of my | heart, ||
be alway acceptable in thy sight, * 15 O | Lord, my | strength and • my re- | deemer. ||
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the medi- | tation • of my | heart, ||
be alway acceptable in thy sight, * O | Lord, my | strength and • my re- | deemer. ||
Glory | be • to the | Father, ||
and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||
As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||
is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
