称颂 神的创造与律法

大卫的诗,交给诗班长。

19 诸天述说 神的荣耀,

穹苍传扬他的作为。

天天发出言语,

夜夜传出知识。

没有话语,没有言词,

人也听不到它们的声音。

它们的声音(按照《马索拉文本》,“声音”作“准绳”,现参照《七十士译本》等古译本翻译)传遍全地,

它们的言语传到地极,

 神在它们中间为太阳安设帐幕。

太阳如同新郎出洞房,

又像勇士欢欢喜喜地跑路。

它从天的这边出来,

绕行到天的那边;

没有甚么可以隐藏,得不到它的温暖。

耶和华的律法是完全的,能使人心苏醒;

耶和华的法度是坚定的,能使愚人有智慧。

耶和华的训词是正直的,能使人心快乐;

耶和华的命令是清洁的,能使人的眼睛明亮。

耶和华的话语(“耶和华的话语”原文作“耶和华的敬畏”)是洁净的,能坚立到永远;

耶和华的典章是真实的,完全公义;

10 都比金子宝贵,比大量的精金更宝贵;

比蜜甘甜,比蜂房滴下来的蜜更甘甜;

11 并且你的仆人也借着这些得到警戒,

谨守这些就得着大赏赐。

12 谁能知道自己的错误呢?

求你赦免我隐而未现的过失。

13 求你拦阻你仆人,不犯任意妄为的罪,

不许它们辖制我;

我才可以完全,不犯大过。

14 耶和华我的盘石、我的救赎主啊!

愿我口中的言语、心里的意念,

都在你面前蒙悦纳。

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

The Glory of God Is Revealed

Heading

For the choir director. A psalm by David.

The Glory of God Revealed by Creation

The heavens tell about the glory of God.
The expanse of the sky proclaims the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour out speech.
Night after night they display knowledge.
They do not speak. They say no words.
Their voice is not heard.[a]
Their voice[b] goes out into all the earth,
and their word reaches the end of the world.

God has pitched a tent for the sun in the heavens.
It comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy.
It celebrates like a champion who has run his race.
It sets out from one end of the heavens.
It runs until it reaches the other end.
There is nowhere to hide from its heat.

The Glory of God Revealed in His Word

The law[c] of the Lord is perfect.
It revives the soul.
The testimony of the Lord is trustworthy.
It gives wisdom to the inexperienced.[d]
The precepts of the Lord are right.
They give joy to the heart.
The commandment of the Lord is bright.
It gives light to the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is pure.
It stands forever.
The just decrees of the Lord are truth.
They are altogether righteous.
10 They are more desirable than gold,
even better than much pure gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
even honey dripping from the honeycomb.

The Glory of God Revealed in the Believer’s Life

11 Yes, by them your servant is warned.
In keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can recognize his own errors?
Declare me innocent of hidden sins.
13 Restrain your servant also from deliberate sins.
Do not let them rule over me.
Then I will be blameless.
Then I will be innocent of great rebellion.
14 May the speech from my mouth
and the thoughts in my heart be pleasing to you,
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
