<t /><p class="psasuper">For the music director; a psalm of David.p> <p class="poetry">The heavens declare the glory of God;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">the sky displays his handiwork.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">But the wise will shinep> <p class="poetry">like the brightness of the heavenly expanse.p> <p class="poetry">And those bringing many to righteousnessp> <p class="poetry">will be like the stars forever and ever.p>
