2
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Dag tot dag stort spraak uit, en nag tot nag toon kennis.
3
[There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard.
Daar is geen spraak of taal waar hulle stem nie gehoor word nie.
4
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Hulle lyn is uitgegaan deur die hele aarde, en hulle woorde tot by die eindes van die wêreld. In hulle het Hy ’n tabernakel vir die son gestel,
5
Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
Wat is soos ‚'n bruidegom wat uit sy kamer uitkom, en juig soos ‚'n sterk man om ‚'n wedloop te hardloop.
6
His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Sy uitgang is van die einde van die hemel, en sy kringloop tot by die eindes daarvan: en daar is niks verborge van die hitte daarvan nie.
7
The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.
Die wet van die HERE is volkome, wat die siel bekeer: die getuienis van die HERE is seker, wat die eenvoudige wys maak.
8
The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.
Die insettinge van die HERE is reg, wat die hart vrolik maak: die gebod van die HERE is rein, wat die oë verlig.
9
The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.
Die vrees van die HERE is rein, wat vir ewig bly: die oordele van die HERE is waar en regverdig altesaam.
10
More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Meer om te begeer is hulle as goud, ja, as baie fyn goud: soeter ook as heuning en die heuningseim.
11
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping of them [there is] great reward.
Bowendien word u dienaar daardeur gewaarsku: en in die hou daarvan is daar groot beloning.
12
Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults].
Wie kan sy foute verstaan? reinig my van geheime foute.
13
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
Bewaar ook u dienaar van vermetele sondes; laat hulle nie heerskappy oor my hê nie: dan sal ek opreg wees, en onskuldig van die groot oortreding.
14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Laat die woorde van my mond, en die meditasie van my hart, aangenaam wees in u aangesig, o HERE, my sterkte, en my Verlosser.
