Psalms 19
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Nebesa oznanjajo slavo Boga mogočnega; in delo rok njegovih kaže njih razsežje.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
Dan dnevu bruha govorico, in noč noči kaže znanje.
3 Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard,
Govorice nimajo, ne besed; in brez njih umé se njih glas.
4 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.
Po vsej zemlji gre njih oznanilo, do kraja vesoljnega sveta šle so njih govorice; odkar je solncu šator postavil na njih.
5 Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,
Ker ono je kakor ženin, ki gre iz stanice svoje; raduje se kakor korenjak, ko se pripravlja na tek.
6 it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
Od kraja nebá je vzhod njegov; in ték njegov do njihovih krajev; in nič ni, kar bi bilo skrito njegovemu žaru.
7 The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.
Nauk Gospodov je pošten, oživljajoč dušo; pričanje Gospodovo resnično, modrost daje nevednemu.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
Zapovedi Gospodove so pravične, srce razveseljujejo; postava Gospodova čista, razsvetljuje oči.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.
Sveti strah Gospodov je čist, vekomaj ostane; sodbe Gospodove zgolj resnica, pravične so vse:
10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
Zaželene, bolj ko zlato, in to kakor zlato prečisto, premnogo, in slajše ko med, in to ko čisti med.
11 By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.
Tedaj je bil služabnik tvoj opominjan po njih; njih poslušati je velik dobiček.
12 Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
(Zmote, kdo bi jih razumel?) Mene odveži skrivnih.
13 Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.
Potem iz trdovratnosti potegni služabnika svojega, da ne gospoduje v meni; tedaj bodem pošten in čist velike pregrehe.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Po volji naj bodejo ust mojih besede, in srca mojega premišljevanje pred teboj; Gospod skala moja in rešitelj moj!
