Psalms 19
1 [When people look at everything that] God [has placed in] the skies, they can see that he is very great; they can see the great things that he has created.
【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 after day [it is as though the sun] proclaims [the glory of God], and night after night [it is as though the moon and stars] say that they know [that God made them].
日與日侃侃而談，夜與夜知識相傳。
3 They do not really speak; they do not say any words. There is no voice [from them] for anyone to hear.
不是語，也不是言，是聽不到的語言；
4 But what they declare [about God] goes throughout the world, and [even people who live in] the most distant/remote places on earth can know it. The sun is in the skies where God placed it [MET];
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 it rises each morning like a bridegroom [who is happy] as he comes out of his bedroom after his wedding. It is like a strong athlete who is very eager to start running in a race.
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 The sun rises at one side of the sky and goes across [the sky and sets on] the other side, and nothing can hide from its 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 instructions that Yahweh has given us are perfect; they (revive us/give us new strength). We can be sure that the things that Yahweh has told us will never change, and [by learning them] people who have not been previously taught/instructed will become 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 Yahweh’s laws are fair/just; [when we obey them], we become joyful. The commands of Yahweh are clear, and [by reading them] [PRS] we start to understand [how God wants us to behave].
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 It is good for people to revere Yahweh; that is something that they will do forever. What Yahweh has decided is fair, and it is always right.
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 The things that God has decided are more valuable than gold, even the finest/purest gold. They are sweeter than honey that drips from honeycombs.
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 Furthermore, [by reading them] I learn [what things are good to do and what things are evil], and they promise a great reward to [us who] obey them.
你僕人雖留心這一切，竭盡全力遵守這一切，
12 But there is no one who can know all his errors [RHQ]; so Yahweh, forgive me for these things which I do that I do not realize are wrong.
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 me from doing things that I know are wrong; do not let my sinful desires control me. If you do that, I will no longer be guilty for committing such sins, and I will not commit the great sin [of rebelling terribly] against you.
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 O Yahweh, you are [like] an [overhanging] rock [MET] under which I can be safe; you are the one who protects me. I hope/desire that the things that I say and what I think will [always] please you.
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！
