Creación y palabra

SALMO 19 (18)

Himno de David.

19 El cielo azul nos habla
de la grandeza de Dios
y de todo lo que ha hecho.
Los días y las noches
lo comentan entre sí.
Aunque no hablan ni dicen nada,
ni se oye un solo sonido,
sus palabras recorren toda la tierra
y llegan hasta el fin del mundo.

En el cielo Dios ha puesto
una casa para el sol.
Y sale el sol de su casa
feliz como un novio;
alegre como un atleta,
se dispone a recorrer su camino.
Sale por un lado
y se oculta por el otro,
sin que nada ni nadie
se libre de su calor.

La ley de Dios es perfecta,
y nos da nueva vida.
Sus mandatos son dignos de confianza,
pues dan sabiduría a los jóvenes.
Las normas de Dios son rectas
y alegran el corazón.
Sus mandamientos son puros
y nos dan sabiduría.
La palabra de Dios es limpia
y siempre se mantiene firme.
Sus decisiones son al mismo tiempo
verdaderas y justas.
10 Yo prefiero sus decisiones
más que montones de oro,
me endulzan la vida
más que la miel del panal.
11 Me sirven de advertencia;
el premio es grande
si uno cumple con ellas.

12 Nadie parece darse cuenta
de los errores que comete.
¡Perdóname, Dios mío,
los pecados que cometo
sin darme cuenta!
13 ¡Líbrame del orgullo!
¡No dejes que me domine!
¡Líbrame de la desobediencia
para no pecar contra ti!

14 ¡Tú eres mi Dios y mi protector!
¡Tú eres quien me defiende!
¡Recibe, pues, con agrado
lo que digo y lo que pienso!

神之行彰顯其榮

19 大衛的詩,交於伶長。

諸天述說神的榮耀,穹蒼傳揚他的手段。
這日到那日發出言語,這夜到那夜傳出知識。
無言無語,也無聲音可聽。
他的量帶通遍天下,他的言語傳到地極。神在其間為太陽安設帳幕,
太陽如同新郎出洞房,又如勇士歡然奔路。
它從天這邊出來,繞到天那邊,沒有一物被隱藏不得他的熱氣。

神之言純潔真誠

耶和華的律法全備,能甦醒人心。耶和華的法度確定,能使愚人有智慧。

耶和華的訓詞正直,能快活人的心。耶和華的命令清潔,能明亮人的眼目。
耶和華的道理潔淨,存到永遠。耶和華的典章真實,全然公義。
10 都比金子可羨慕,且比極多的精金可羨慕;比蜜甘甜,且比蜂房下滴的蜜甘甜。
11 況且你的僕人因此受警戒,守著這些便有大賞。
12 誰能知道自己的錯失呢?願你赦免我隱而未現的過錯。
13 求你攔阻僕人,不犯任意妄為的罪,不容這罪轄制我,我便完全,免犯大罪。
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)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 19:1 In Hebrew texts 19:1-14 is numbered 19:2-15.
  2. Psalm 19:4 Septuagint, Jerome and Syriac; Hebrew measuring line

19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making 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 for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
