To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
