Psalm 19
Expanded Bible
God’s Works and Word
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
19 The heavens ·declare [recount; narrate] the glory [C the manifest presence] of God,
and the ·skies [firmament; dome; Gen. 1:6] ·announce [speak out] ·what his hands have made [L the works of his hands].
2 Day after day they ·tell the story [L bubble/pour forth speech];
night after night they ·tell it again [L declare knowledge].
3 They have no speech or words;
they have no voice to be heard.
4 But their ·message [L line] goes out through all the world;
their words go ·everywhere on [L to the ends of the] earth.
·The sky [Heaven; L In them] is like a ·home [L tent] for the sun.
5 The sun comes out like a bridegroom from his ·bedroom [L wedding chamber].
It rejoices like an ·athlete [strong man] eager to run a race.
6 The sun rises at one end of the ·sky [heavens]
and ·follows its path [L its circuit is] to the other end.
Nothing hides from its heat.
7 The ·teachings [laws; instructions] of the Lord are perfect;
they ·give new strength [T revive the soul].
The ·rules [testimonies] of the Lord ·can be trusted [are faithful/sure];
they make ·plain [simpleminded; immature] people wise [Prov. 1:4].
8 The orders of the Lord are ·right [virtuous];
·they make people happy [L rejoicing the heart].
The commands of the Lord are pure;
·they light up the way [L giving light to the eyes].
9 ·Respect [Fear] for the Lord [Prov. 1:7] is ·good [pure];
it will ·last [endure] forever.
The judgments of the Lord are true;
they are ·completely [altogether] ·right [righteous].
10 They are ·worth [desired; coveted] more than gold,
even ·the purest [fine] gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
even the ·finest honey [L droppings of the honeycomb].
11 By them your servant is warned.
·Keeping [Observing] them brings great reward.
12 ·People cannot [L Who can…?] ·see [detect; L understand] their own ·mistakes [errors].
·Forgive [Clear] me for my ·secret [hidden] sins.
13 ·Keep me [L Restrain your servant] from ·the sins of pride [proud thoughts];
don’t let them ·rule [dominate] me.
Then I can be pure
and innocent of the greatest of sins.
14 ·I hope my ·words [L The words of my mouth] and ·thoughts [meditations of my heart] ·please [L be before] you.
Lord, you are my Rock, ·the one who saves me [L and my redeemer].
詩篇 19
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
神之行彰顯其榮
19 大衛的詩，交於伶長。
1 諸天述說神的榮耀，穹蒼傳揚他的手段。
2 這日到那日發出言語，這夜到那夜傳出知識。
3 無言無語，也無聲音可聽。
4 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，
5 太陽如同新郎出洞房，又如勇士歡然奔路。
6 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
7 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。
8 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。
9 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。
