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。

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)
