詩篇 19

1 【讚主頌】 達味詩歌，交與樂官。 高天陳述天主的光榮，穹蒼宣揚祂手的化工；

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

2 日與日侃侃而談，夜與夜知識相傳。

Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

3 不是語，也不是言，是聽不到的語言；

Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard,

4 它們的聲音傳遍普世，它們的言語達於地極。天主在天為太陽設置了帷帳，

their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.

5 它活像新郎一樣走出了洞房，又像壯士一樣欣然就道奔放。

Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,

6 由天這邊出現，往天那邊旋轉，沒有一物可避免它的熱燄。

it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

7 上主的法律是完善的，能暢快人靈；上主的約章是忠誠的，能開啟愚蒙；

The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.

8 上主的規誡是正直的，能悅樂心情；上主的命令是光明的，能燭照眼睛；

The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

9 上主的訓誨是純潔的，它永遠常存；上主的判斷是真實的，它無不公允；

The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.

10 比黃金，比極純的黃金更可愛戀；比蜂蜜，比蜂巢的流汁更要甘甜。

They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.

11 你僕人雖留心這一切，竭盡全力遵守這一切，

By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.

12 但誰能認出自已的一切過犯？求你赦免我未覺察到的罪愆。

Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.

13 更求你使你僕人免於自負，求你不要讓驕傲把我佔有；如此我將成為完人，重大罪惡免污我身。

Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.

14 上主，我的磐石，我的救主！願我口中的話，我心中的思慮，常在你前蒙受悅納！

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
