Psalm 18 read:
1 Finally, a psalm to David
2 The heavens declare the glory of God, but the firmament declares the work of His hand. 3 Day of days the verb spits out, and night of night the mind speaks. 4 Speech is not worth, lower than words, whose voice is not heard. 5 Their words went out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world. Set Your village in the sun, 6 and He, like the Bridegroom who proceeds from His palace, will rejoice, like the Giant who leads the way. 7 From the end of the heaven is His departure, and His meeting to the end of the heaven, and there is nothing that can hide His warmth. 8 The law of the Lord is blameless, converting souls, the testimony of the Lord is sure, making children wise. 9 The justifications of the Lord are right, gladdening the heart, the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes. 10 The fear of the Lord is pure; it endures forever: the destinies of the Lord are true, they are justified, 11 more desirable than gold, and more precious than stones, and sweeter than honey and honeycomb. 12 For Your servant keeps me, and I will always keep you; your reward will be great. 13 Who understands the Fall? Cleanse me from my secret things, 14 and from strangers, spare your servant; if they do not possess me, then I will be blameless and cleansed from great sin. 15 And the words of my mouth will be pleasing, and the teaching of my heart will be made before You, O Lord, my Helper and my Deliverer.
