稱頌 神的創造與律法

大衛的詩,交給詩班長。

19 諸天述說 神的榮耀,

穹蒼傳揚他的作為。

天天發出言語,

夜夜傳出知識。

沒有話語,沒有言詞,

人也聽不到它們的聲音。

它們的聲音(按照《馬索拉文本》,“聲音”作“準繩”,現參照《七十士譯本》等古譯本翻譯)傳遍全地,

它們的言語傳到地極,

 神在它們中間為太陽安設帳幕。

太陽如同新郎出洞房,

又像勇士歡歡喜喜地跑路。

它從天的這邊出來,

繞行到天的那邊;

沒有甚麼可以隱藏,得不到它的溫暖。

耶和華的律法是完全的,能使人心甦醒;

耶和華的法度是堅定的,能使愚人有智慧。

耶和華的訓詞是正直的,能使人心快樂;

耶和華的命令是清潔的,能使人的眼睛明亮。

耶和華的話語(“耶和華的話語”原文作“耶和華的敬畏”)是潔淨的,能堅立到永遠;

耶和華的典章是真實的,完全公義;

10 都比金子寶貴,比大量的精金更寶貴;

比蜜甘甜,比蜂房滴下來的蜜更甘甜;

11 並且你的僕人也藉著這些得到警戒,

謹守這些就得著大賞賜。

12 誰能知道自己的錯誤呢?

求你赦免我隱而未現的過失。

13 求你攔阻你僕人,不犯任意妄為的罪,

不許它們轄制我;

我才可以完全,不犯大過。

14 耶和華我的磐石、我的救贖主啊!

願我口中的言語、心裡的意念,

都在你面前蒙悅納。

上帝的作為和律法

大衛的詩,交給樂長。

19 諸天述說上帝的榮耀,
穹蒼傳揚祂的作為。
它們日復一日地訴說,
夜復一夜地宣揚,
無言無語,無聲無息。
它們的聲音傳遍天下,
它們的話語傳到地極。
上帝在天上為太陽設立居所。
太陽出來時,如步出洞房的新郎,
又如歡然奔跑賽程的健兒。
它滑過長空,
從天這邊繞到天那邊,
熱量廣及萬物。
耶和華的律法完美,
能更新生命;
耶和華的法度可靠,
讓愚人有智慧。
耶和華的法則公正,
使人充滿喜樂;
耶和華的命令純全,
讓人眼目明亮。
要以純潔的心敬畏耶和華,
直到永遠;
耶和華的法令可靠,
全然公義。
10 這些比純金還寶貴,
比蜂房的蜜更甘甜。

11 你僕人從中受到警戒,
遵守的人必得大賞賜。
12 誰能知道自己的過失呢?
求你赦免我心中隱藏的過錯。
13 求你攔阻我,
別讓我明知故犯,
別讓罪惡轄制我。
這樣,我才純全正直,
免犯大過。
14 耶和華——我的磐石、我的救贖主啊,
願你喜悅我口中的言語、心中的意念。

God’s Works and Word

For the director of music. A song of David.

19 The heavens tell the glory of God.
    And the skies announce what his hands have made.
Day after day they tell the story.
    Night after night they tell it again.
They have no speech or words.
    They don’t make any sound to be heard.
But their message goes out through all the world.
    It goes everywhere on earth.
The sky is like a home for the sun.
The sun comes out like a bridegroom from his bedroom.
    It rejoices like an athlete eager to run a race.
The sun rises at one end of the sky,
    and it follows its path to the other end.
    Nothing hides from its heat.

The Lord’s teachings are perfect.
    They give new strength.
The Lord’s rules can be trusted.
    They make plain people wise.
The Lord’s orders are right.
    They make people happy.
The Lord’s commands are pure.
    They light up the way.
It is good to respect the Lord.
    That respect will last forever.
The Lord’s judgments are true.
    They are completely right.
10 They are worth more than gold,
    even the purest gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
    even the finest honey.
11 They tell your servant what to do.
    Keeping them brings great reward.

12 No one can see all his own mistakes.
    Forgive me for my secret sins.
13 Keep me from the sins that I want to do.
    Don’t let them rule me.
Then I can be pure
    and free from the greatest of sins.

14 I hope my words and thoughts please you.
    Lord, you are my Rock, the one who saves me.

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)
