诗篇 19
1 大卫的诗，交与伶长。 诸天述说 神的荣耀； 穹苍传扬他的手段。
[When people look at everything that] God [has placed in] the skies, they can see that he is very great; they can see the great things that he has created.
2 这日到那日发出言语； 这夜到那夜传出知识。
Day after day [it is as though the sun] proclaims [the glory of God], and night after night [it is as though the moon and stars] say that they know [that God made them].
3 无言无语， 也无声音可听。
They do not really speak; they do not say any words. There is no voice [from them] for anyone to hear.
4 它的量带通遍天下， 它的言语传到地极。 神在其间为太阳安设帐幕；
But what they declare [about God] goes throughout the world, and [even people who live in] the most distant/remote places on earth can know it. The sun is in the skies where God placed it [MET];
5 太阳如同新郎出洞房， 又如勇士欢然奔路。
it rises each morning like a bridegroom [who is happy] as he comes out of his bedroom after his wedding. It is like a strong athlete who is very eager to start running in a race.
6 它从天这边出来，绕到天那边， 没有一物被隐藏不得它的热气。
The sun rises at one side of the sky and goes across [the sky and sets on] the other side, and nothing can hide from its heat.
7 耶和华的律法全备，能苏醒人心； 耶和华的法度确定，能使愚人有智慧。
The instructions that Yahweh has given us are perfect; they (revive us/give us new strength). We can be sure that the things that Yahweh has told us will never change, and [by learning them] people who have not been previously taught/instructed will become wise.
8 耶和华的训词正直，能快活人的心； 耶和华的命令清洁，能明亮人的眼目。
Yahweh’s laws are fair/just; [when we obey them], we become joyful. The commands of Yahweh are clear, and [by reading them] [PRS] we start to understand [how God wants us to behave].
9 耶和华的道理洁净，存到永远； 耶和华的典章真实，全然公义—
It is good for people to revere Yahweh; that is something that they will do forever. What Yahweh has decided is fair, and it is always right.
10 都比金子可羡慕，且比极多的精金可羡慕； 比蜜甘甜，且比蜂房下滴的蜜甘甜。
The things that God has decided are more valuable than gold, even the finest/purest gold. They are sweeter than honey that drips from honeycombs.
11 况且你的仆人因此受警戒， 守着这些便有大赏。
Furthermore, [by reading them] I learn [what things are good to do and what things are evil], and they promise a great reward to [us who] obey them.
12 谁能知道自己的错失呢？ 愿你赦免我隐而未现的过错。
But there is no one who can know all his errors [RHQ]; so Yahweh, forgive me for these things which I do that I do not realize are wrong.
13 求你拦阻仆人不犯任意妄为的罪， 不容这罪辖制我， 我便完全，免犯大罪。
Keep me from doing things that I know are wrong; do not let my sinful desires control me. If you do that, I will no longer be guilty for committing such sins, and I will not commit the great sin [of rebelling terribly] against you.
14 耶和华—我的磐石，我的救赎主啊， 愿我口中的言语、心里的意念在你面前蒙悦纳。
O Yahweh, you are [like] an [overhanging] rock [MET] under which I can be safe; you are the one who protects me. I hope/desire that the things that I say and what I think will [always] please you.
