Psalms 19

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. The heavens [are] recounting the glory of God, And the expanse [is] declaring the work of His hands.

【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；

2 Day to day utters speech, And night to night shows knowledge.

日與日侃侃而談，夜與夜知識相傳。

3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice has not been heard.

不是語，也不是言，是聽不到的語言；

4 Their line has gone forth into all the earth, And their sayings to the end of the world, In them He placed a tent for the sun,

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，

5 And he, as a bridegroom, goes out from his covering, He rejoices as a mighty one To run the path.

它活像新郎一樣走出了洞房，又像壯士一樣欣然就道奔放。

6 From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] to their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.

由天這邊出現，往天那邊旋轉，沒有一物可避免它的熱燄。

7 The law of YHWH [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of YHWH [are] steadfast, Making the simple wise,

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；

8 The precepts of YHWH [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of YHWH [is] pure, enlightening the eyes,

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；

9 The fear of YHWH [is] clean, standing for all time, The judgments of YHWH [are] true, They have been righteous—together.

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；

10 They are more desirable than gold, Indeed, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.

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。

11 Also—Your servant is warned by them, “In keeping them [is] a great reward.”

你僕人雖留心這一切，竭盡全力遵守這一切，

12 [His] errors—who understands? Declare me innocent from hidden ones,

但誰能認出自已的一切過犯？求你赦免我未覺察到的罪愆。

13 Also—keep back Your servant from presumptuous ones, Do not let them rule over me, Then I am perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression.

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。

14 Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before You, O YHWH, my rock, and my redeemer!

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！
