4 in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum
Their line has gone forth into all the earth, And their sayings to the end of the world, In them He placed a tent for the sun,
5 in sole posuit tabernaculum suum et ipse tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo exultavit ut gigans ad currendam viam suam
And he, as a bridegroom, goes out from his covering, He rejoices as a mighty one To run the path.
6 a summo caeli egressio eius et occursus eius usque ad summum eius nec est qui se abscondat a calore eius

10 desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum et dulciora super mel et favum

12 delicta quis intellegit ab occultis meis munda me

14 et erunt ut conplaceant eloquia oris mei et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo semper Domine adiutor meus et redemptor meus
Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before You, O YHWH, my rock, and my redeemer!
