Psalms 19

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. The heavens [are] recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse [is] declaring.

大衛的詩，交與伶長。 諸天述說上帝的榮耀； 穹蒼傳揚他的手段。

2 Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.

這日到那日發出言語； 這夜到那夜傳出知識。

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

無言無語， 也無聲音可聽。

4 Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,

它的量帶通遍天下， 它的言語傳到地極。 上帝在其間為太陽安設帳幕；

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

太陽如同新郎出洞房， 又如勇士歡然奔路。

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

它從天這邊出來，繞到天那邊， 沒有一物被隱藏不得它的熱氣。

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

耶和華的律法全備，能甦醒人心； 耶和華的法度確定，能使愚人有智慧。

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

耶和華的訓詞正直，能快活人的心； 耶和華的命令清潔，能明亮人的眼目。

9 The fear of Jehovah [is] clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah [are] true, They have been righteous — together.

耶和華的道理潔淨，存到永遠； 耶和華的典章真實，全然公義－

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

都比金子可羨慕，且比極多的精金可羨慕； 比蜜甘甜，且比蜂房下滴的蜜甘甜。

11 Also — Thy servant is warned by them, 'In keeping them [is] a great reward.'

況且你的僕人因此受警戒， 守着這些便有大賞。

12 Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,

誰能知道自己的錯失呢？ 願你赦免我隱而未現的過錯。

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

求你攔阻僕人不犯任意妄為的罪， 不容這罪轄制我， 我便完全，免犯大罪。

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

耶和華－我的磐石，我的救贖主啊， 願我口中的言語、心裏的意念在你面前蒙悅納。
