 1  The heav'ns God's glory do declare,
       the skies his hand-works preach:
    Day after day their speech pours forth
       and night does knowledge teach.
    There is no speech nor tongue to which
       their voice does not extend:
    Their voice is gone through all the earth,
       their words to the world's end.

 2  In them he set the sun a tent;
       Who, bridegroom-like, forth goes
    From's chamber, as a strong man doth
       to run his race rejoice.
    From heav'n's end is his going forth,
       circling to th' end again;
    And there is nothing from his heat
       that hidden doth remain.

    God's law is perfect, and converts
       the soul from sin and lies:
    God's testimony is most sure,
       and makes the simple wise.
    The statutes of the Lord are right,
       and do rejoice the heart:
    The Lord's command is pure, and doth
       light to the eyes impart.
