Psalms 19

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

【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 unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

日與日侃侃而談，夜與夜知識相傳。

3 There is no speech nor language; their voice cannot be heard.

不是語，也不是言，是聽不到的語言；

4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle 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 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.

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 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

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 the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

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 the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD 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 the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true, [and] righteous altogether.

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 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

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 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: in keeping of them there is great reward.

你僕人雖留心這一切，竭盡全力遵守這一切，

12 Who can discern [his] errors? clear thou me from hidden [faults].

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 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be clear from great 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 words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, 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！
