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.
Para el director del coro. Un salmo de David. Los cielos declaran la gloria de Dios; el firmamento anuncia su creación.
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].
Cada día transmite al siguiente la gloria de Dios. Cada noche comparte el conocimiento de Dios a la noche siguiente.
3 They do not really speak; they do not say any words. There is no voice [from them] for anyone to hear.
Hablan sin grandes discursos o palabras, pues sus voces no son audibles.
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];
Sin embargo, todo lo que dicen es escuchado en toda la tierra; su mensaje va por todo el mundo. Dios ha hecho un hogar en los cielos para el sol.
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.
Es como un novio saliendo de su habitación; como un atleta preparado y feliz de correr una carrera.
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.
Se levanta sobre una parte del cielo y cruza hasta el otro lado. Nada se esconde de su calor.
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.
La ley de Dios es buena, reafirma la vida espiritual. Las enseñanzas de Dios son confiables; convierten a los inexpertos en sabios.
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].
Las instrucciones de Dios son buenas, y traen alegría a las personas. Los mandamientos de Dios son sinceros, y ayudan a la gente a ver lo que está realmente bien.
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.
La reverencia por el Señor es buena, y dura para siempre. Los juicios del Señor son verdaderos y justos.
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.
Ellos son más valiosos que el oro, incluso el oro más fino; son más dulces que la miel, incluso más que la miel pura, acabada de salir de un panal.
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.
Ellos también aconsejan a tus siervos. Soy ricamente recompensando al guardarlos.
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.
¿Quién está consciente de sus propios errores? No me castigues por las faltas que desconozco.
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.
No permitas que tus siervos cometan pecados deliberadamente. No dejes que ellos gobiernen por encima de mí. Entonces seré limpio de cualquier falta, inocente de tal rebelión.
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.
Ojalá te alegres de las palabras que hoy hablo, y los pensamientos que hoy pienso, Señor, mi roca y mi Redentor.
