The Only Chant for the English Service at the 57th Choir Festival 2026 1.​The heavens declare the / glory . of / God: and the / firmament / sheweth . his / handywork. 2.​One day / telleth . a / nother: and one night / certi / fieth . a / nother. 3.​There is neither / speech nor / language: but their / voices . are / heard a / mong them. 4.​Their sound is gone out into / all / lands: and their / words in . to the / ends of . the / world. 5.​In them hath he set a tabernacle / for the / sun: which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his ​chamber, and rejoiceth as a / giant . to / run his / course. 6.​It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about unto the / end of it . a ​/ gain: and there is nothing / hid . from the / heat there / of. 7.​The law of the Lord is an undefiled law con / verting . the / soul: the testimony of the Lord is ​sure, and giveth / wisdom / unto . the / simple. 8.​The statutes of the Lord are right and re / joice the / heart: the commandment of the Lord is ​pure, and giveth / light un / to the / eyes. 9.​The fear of the Lord is clean and en / dureth . for / ever: the judgments of the Lord are true ​and / righteous / alto / gether. 10.​More to be desired are they than gold, yea than / much fine / gold: sweeter also than / honey / ​and the / honey-comb. 11.​Moreover by them is thy / servant / taught: and in keeping of them / there is / great re / ward. 12.​Who can telleth how / oft . he of / fendeth: O cleanse thou / me from . my / secret/ faults. 13.​Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the do / minion / over me: so shall ​I be undefiled, and innocent / from the / great of / fence. 14.​Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be always acceptable / in thy / ​sight: O Lord, my / strength and / my re / deemer.
