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.
Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. LOS cielos cuentan la gloria de Dios, y la expansión denuncia la obra de sus manos.
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].
El un día emite palabra al [otro] día, y la [una] noche á la [otra] noche declara sabiduría.
3 They do not really speak; they do not say any words. There is no voice [from them] for anyone to hear.
No hay dicho, ni palabras, ni es oída su voz.
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];
Por toda la tierra salió su hilo, y al cabo del mundo sus palabras. En ellos puso tabernáculo 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.
Y él, como un novio que sale de su tálamo, alégrase cual gigante para correr el camino.
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.
Del un cabo de los cielos es su salida, y su giro hasta la extremidad de ellos: y no hay quien se esconda 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 Jehová es perfecta, que vuelve el alma: el testimonio de Jehová, fiel, que hace sabio al pequeño.
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].
Los mandamientos de Jehová son rectos, que alegran el corazón: el precepto de Jehová, puro, que alumbra los ojos.
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.
El temor de Jehová, limpio, que permanece para siempre; los juicios de Jehová son verdad, todos 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.
Deseables son más que el oro, y más que mucho oro afinado; y dulces más que miel, y que la que destila del 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.
Tu siervo es además amonestado con ellos: en guardarlos hay grande galardón.
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.
Los errores, ¿quién los entenderá? Líbrame de los que [me] son ocultos.
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.
Detén asimismo á tu siervo de las soberbias; que no se enseñoreen de mí: entonces seré íntegro, y estaré limpio de gran 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.
Sean gratos los dichos de mi boca y la meditación de mi corazón delante de ti, oh Jehová, roca mía, y redentor mío.
