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。

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.
