上帝的作为和律法

大卫的诗,交给乐长。

19 诸天述说上帝的荣耀,
穹苍传扬祂的作为。
它们日复一日地诉说,
夜复一夜地宣扬,
无言无语,无声无息。
它们的声音传遍天下,
它们的话语传到地极。
上帝在天上为太阳设立居所。
太阳出来时,如步出洞房的新郎,
又如欢然奔跑赛程的健儿。
它滑过长空,
从天这边绕到天那边,
热量广及万物。
耶和华的律法完美,
能更新生命;
耶和华的法度可靠,
让愚人有智慧。
耶和华的法则公正,
使人充满喜乐;
耶和华的命令纯全,
让人眼目明亮。
要以纯洁的心敬畏耶和华,
直到永远;
耶和华的法令可靠,
全然公义。
10 这些比纯金还宝贵,
比蜂房的蜜更甘甜。

11 你仆人从中受到警戒,
遵守的人必得大赏赐。
12 谁能知道自己的过失呢?
求你赦免我心中隐藏的过错。
13 求你拦阻我,
别让我明知故犯,
别让罪恶辖制我。
这样,我才纯全正直,
免犯大过。
14 耶和华——我的磐石、我的救赎主啊,
愿你喜悦我口中的言语、心中的意念。

Para el director del coro: salmo de David.

19 Los cielos proclaman la gloria de Dios
    y el firmamento despliega la destreza de sus manos.
Día tras día no cesan de hablar;
    noche tras noche lo dan a conocer.
Hablan sin sonidos ni palabras;
    su voz jamás se oye.[a]
Sin embargo, su mensaje se ha difundido por toda la tierra
    y sus palabras, por todo el mundo.

Dios preparó un hogar para el sol en los cielos,
y este irrumpe como un novio radiante luego de su boda.
    Se alegra como un gran atleta, ansioso por correr la carrera.
El sol sale de un extremo de los cielos
    y sigue su curso hasta llegar al otro extremo;
    nada puede ocultarse de su calor.

Las enseñanzas del Señor son perfectas;
    reavivan el alma.
Los decretos del Señor son confiables;
    hacen sabio al sencillo.
Los mandamientos del Señor son rectos;
    traen alegría al corazón.
Los mandatos del Señor son claros;
    dan buena percepción para vivir.
La reverencia al Señor es pura;
    permanece para siempre.
Las leyes del Señor son verdaderas;
    cada una de ellas es imparcial.
10 Son más deseables que el oro,
    incluso que el oro más puro.
Son más dulces que la miel,
    incluso que la miel que gotea del panal.
11 Sirven de advertencia para tu siervo,
    una gran recompensa para quienes las obedecen.

12 ¿Cómo puedo conocer todos los pecados escondidos en mi corazón?
    Límpiame de estas faltas ocultas.
13 ¡Libra a tu siervo de pecar intencionalmente!
    No permitas que estos pecados me controlen.
Entonces estaré libre de culpa
    y seré inocente de grandes pecados.

14 Que las palabras de mi boca
    y la meditación de mi corazón
sean de tu agrado,
    oh Señor, mi roca y mi redentor.

The Perfect Revelation of the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

19 The (A)heavens declare the glory of God;
And the (B)firmament[a] shows [b]His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
(C)Their [c]line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.

In them He has set a [d]tabernacle for the sun,
Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
(D)And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

(E)The law of the Lord is perfect, [e]converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making (F)wise the simple;
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than (G)gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the [f]honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors?
(H)Cleanse me from secret faults.
13 Keep back Your servant also from (I)presumptuous sins;
Let them not have (J)dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of [g]great transgression.

14 (K)Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my [h]strength and my (L)Redeemer.

Psalm 19[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

The heavens(A) declare(B) the glory of God;(C)
    the skies(D) proclaim the work of his hands.(E)
Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge.(F)
They have no speech, they use no words;
    no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.(G)
In the heavens God has pitched a tent(H) for the sun.(I)
    It is like a bridegroom(J) coming out of his chamber,(K)
    like a champion(L) rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens(M)
    and makes its circuit to the other;(N)
    nothing is deprived of its warmth.

The law of the Lord(O) is perfect,(P)
    refreshing the soul.(Q)
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,(R)
    making wise the simple.(S)
The precepts of the Lord are right,(T)
    giving joy(U) to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
    giving light to the eyes.(V)
The fear of the Lord(W) is pure,
    enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm,
    and all of them are righteous.(X)

10 They are more precious than gold,(Y)
    than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,(Z)
    than honey from the honeycomb.(AA)
11 By them your servant is warned;
    in keeping them there is great reward.
12 But who can discern their own errors?
    Forgive my hidden faults.(AB)
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;(AC)
    may they not rule over me.(AD)
Then I will be blameless,(AE)
    innocent of great transgression.

14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
    be pleasing(AF) in your sight,
    Lord, my Rock(AG) and my Redeemer.(AH)
