(1) The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.	(1) Οἱ οὐρανοὶ διηγοῦνται δόξαν θεοῦ, ποίησιν δὲ χειρῶν αὐτοῦ ἀναγγέλλει τὸ στερέωµα·

(4) Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

(5) In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course.	ἐν τῷ ἡλίῳ ἔθετο τὸ σκήνωµα αὐτοῦ· (5) καὶ αὐτὸς ὡς νυµφίος ἐκπορευόµενος ἐκ παστοῦ αὐτοῦ, ἀγαλλιάσεται ὡς γίγας δραµεῖν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ.

(6) His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the other end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.

(7) The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.	(7) ὁ νόµος τοῦ κυρίου ἄµωµος, ἐπιστρέφων ψυχάς· ἡ µαρτυρία κυρίου πιστή, σοφίζουσα νήπια·

(8) The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.
