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.

Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Nebesa oznanjajo slavo Boga mogočnega; in delo rok njegovih kaže njih razsežje.

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

Dan dnevu bruha govorico, in noč noči kaže znanje.

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

Govorice nimajo, ne besed; in brez njih umé se njih glas.

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.

Po vsej zemlji gre njih oznanilo, do kraja vesoljnega sveta šle so njih govorice; odkar je solncu šator postavil na njih.

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

Ker ono je kakor ženin, ki gre iz stanice svoje; raduje se kakor korenjak, ko se pripravlja na tek.

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.

Od kraja nebá je vzhod njegov; in ték njegov do njihovih krajev; in nič ni, kar bi bilo skrito njegovemu žaru.

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

Nauk Gospodov je pošten, oživljajoč dušo; pričanje Gospodovo resnično, modrost daje nevednemu.

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.

Zapovedi Gospodove so pravične, srce razveseljujejo; postava Gospodova čista, razsvetljuje oči.

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

Sveti strah Gospodov je čist, vekomaj ostane; sodbe Gospodove zgolj resnica, pravične so vse:

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

Zaželene, bolj ko zlato, in to kakor zlato prečisto, premnogo, in slajše ko med, in to ko čisti med.

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

Tedaj je bil služabnik tvoj opominjan po njih; njih poslušati je velik dobiček.

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

(Zmote, kdo bi jih razumel?) Mene odveži skrivnih.

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.

Potem iz trdovratnosti potegni služabnika svojega, da ne gospoduje v meni; tedaj bodem pošten in čist velike pregrehe.

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.

Po volji naj bodejo ust mojih besede, in srca mojega premišljevanje pred teboj; Gospod skala moja in rešitelj moj!
