For the leader. A psalm of David. The heavens declare God’s glory, the sky tells what his hands have done.

The law of the Lord is perfect, renewing life. The decrees of the Lord are trusty, making the simple wise.
8 BOEIPA kah olrhi tah a thuem dongah lungbuei ko a hoe sak. BOEIPA kah olpaek tah a cil dongah mik a tueng sak.
The behests of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the Lord is pure, giving light to the eyes.

Keep your servant from wilful sins – from falling under their sway: then blameless and clear will I be from great offence.

May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, Lord, my rock and redeemer.
