2 Cæli enarrant gloriam Dei, et opera manuum ejus annuntiat firmamentum.	2 The heavens describe the glory of God, and the firmament announces the work of his hands.
3 Dies diei eructat verbum, et nox nocti indicat scientiam.	3 Day proclaims the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge.
4 Non sunt loquelæ, neque sermones, quorum non audiantur voces eorum.	4 There are no speeches or conversations, where their voices are not being heard.
5 In omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eorum.	5 Their sound has gone forth through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
6 In sole posuit tabernaculum suum ; et ipse tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo. Exsultavit ut gigas ad currendam viam ;	6 He has placed his tabernacle in the sun, and he is like a bridegroom coming out of his bedroom. He has exulted like a giant running along the way;
7 a summo cælo egressio ejus. Et occursus ejus usque ad summum ejus ; nec est qui se abscondat a calore ejus.	7 his departure is from the summit of heaven. And his course reaches all the way to its summit. Neither is there anyone who can hide himself from his heat.
8 Lex Domini immaculata, convertens animas ; testimonium Domini fidele, sapientiam præstans parvulis.	8 The law of the Lord is immaculate, converting souls. The testimony of the Lord is faithful, providing wisdom to little ones.

10 Timor Domini sanctus, permanens in sæculum sæculi ; judicia Domini vera, justificata in semetipsa,	10 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for all generations. The judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves:
11 desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum, et dulciora super mel et favum.	11 desirable beyond gold and many precious stones, and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
12 Etenim servus tuus custodit ea ; in custodiendis illis retributio multa.	12 For, indeed, your servant keeps them, and in keeping them, there are many rewards.
13 Delicta quis intelligit ? ab occultis meis munda me ;	13 Who can understand transgression? From my hidden faults, cleanse me, O Lord,
14 et ab alienis parce servo tuo. Si mei non fuerint dominati, tunc immaculatus ero, et emundabor a delicto maximo.	14 and from those of others, spare your servant. If they will have no dominion over me, then I will be immaculate, and I will be cleansed from the greatest transgression.
15 Et erunt ut complaceant eloquia oris mei, et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo semper. Domine, adjutor meus, et redemptor meus.	15 And the eloquence of my mouth will be so as to please, along with the meditation of my heart, in your sight, forever, O Lord, my helper and my redeemer.
