Psalms 19

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The heauens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth ye worke of his hands.

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ السَّمَاوَاتُ تُحَدِّثُ بِمَجْدِ اللهِ، وَالْفَلَكُ يُخْبِرُ بِعَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ

2 Day vnto day vttereth the same, and night vnto night teacheth knowledge.

٢ بِذَلِكَ تَتَحَادَثُ الأَيَّامُ أَبْلَغَ حَدِيثٍ، وَتَتَخَاطَبُ بِهِ اللَّيَالِي.

3 There is no speach nor language, where their voyce is not heard.

٣ لَا يَصْدُرُ عَنْهَا كَلامٌ، لَكِنَّ صَوْتَهَا يُسمَعُ وَاضِحاً.

4 Their line is gone forth through all the earth, and their words into the endes of the world: in them hath he set a tabernacle for the sunne.

٤ انْطَلَقَ صَوْتُهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا وَكَلامُهُمْ إِلَى أَقَاصِي الْعَالَمِ. جَعَلَ لِلشَّمْسِ مَسْكَناً فِيهَا،

5 Which commeth forth as a bridegrome out of his chamber, and reioyceth like a mightie man to runne his race.

٥ وَهِيَ مِثْلُ الْعَرِيسِ الْخَارِجِ مِنْ مُخْدَعِهِ، كَالْعَدَّاءِ الْمُبْتَهِجِ لِلسِّبَاقِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ.

6 His going out is from the ende of the heauen, and his compasse is vnto the endes of ye same, and none is hid from the heate thereof.

٦ تَنْطَلِقُ مِنْ أَقْصَى السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَتَدُورُ إِلَى أَقَاصِيهَا، وَلَا شَيْءَ يَحْتَجِبُ مِنْ حَرِّهَا.

7 The Lawe of the Lord is perfite, conuerting the soule: the testimonie of the Lord is sure, and giueth wisedome vnto the simple.

٧ شَرِيعَةُ الرَّبِّ كَامِلَةٌ تُنْعِشُ النَّفْسَ. شَهَادَةُ الرَّبِّ صَادِقَةٌ تَجْعَلُ الْجَاهِلَ حَكِيماً.

8 The statutes of the Lord are right and reioyce the heart: the commandement of the Lord is pure, and giueth light vnto the eyes.

٨ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ تُفَرِّحُ الْقَلْبَ. أَمْرُ الرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ يُنِيرُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ.

9 The feare of the Lord is cleane, and indureth for euer: the iudgements of the Lord are trueth: they are righteous altogether,

٩ مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ طَاهِرَةٌ ثَابِتَةٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأَحْكَامُ الرَّبِّ حَقٌّ وَعَادِلَةٌ كُلُّهَا.

10 And more to be desired then golde, yea, then much fine golde: sweeter also then honie and the honie combe.

١٠ إِنَّهَا أَشْهَى مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ، وَهِيَ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ بَلِ الْقَطْرِ السَّائِلِ مِنْ أَقْرَاصِ الشَّهْدِ.

11 Moreouer by them is thy seruant made circumspect, and in keeping of them there is great reward.

١١ عَبْدُكَ يَهْتَدِي بِها، وَفِي صَوْنِهَا ثَوَابٌ عَظِيمٌ.

12 Who can vnderstand his faultes? clense me from secret fautes.

١٢ مَنْ يَتَنَبَّهُ إِلَى سَهَوَاتِهِ؟ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا الْخَفِيَّةِ خَلِّصْنِي،

13 Keepe thy seruant also from presumptuous sinnes: let them not reigne ouer me: so shall I be vpright, and made cleane from much wickednes.

١٣ وَمِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ أَيْضاً احْفَظْ عَبْدَكَ، وَلَا تَدَعْهَا تَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيَّ. عِنْدَئِذٍ أَكُونُ كَامِلاً وَأَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ عَظِيمٍ.

14 Let the wordes of my mouth, and the meditation of mine heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

١٤ لِتَكُنْ أَقْوَالُ فَمِي وَخَوَاطِرُ قَلْبِي مَقْبُولَةً لَدَيْكَ يَا رَبُّ، يَا صَخْرَتِي وَفَادِيَّ.
