Psalmi 19
1 Nebo oznanja Božjo slavo in nebesni svod prikazuje delo njegovih rok.
Unto the end. A psalm for David. The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
2 Dan dnevu izreka govor in noč noči prikazuje znanje.
Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.
3 Ni ne govora, ne jezika, kjer ni slišati njihovega glasu.
There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.
4 Njihov stih gre po vsej zemlji in njihove besede do konca zemeljskega [kroga]. Vanje je postavil šotorsko svetišče za sonce,
Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.
5 ki je kakor ženin, ki prihaja iz svoje sobe in se razveseljuje kakor močan mož, da teče tek.
He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:
6 Njegovo prihajanje je od konca neba in njegov obhod do njegovih koncev. Nič ni skrito pred njegovo vročino.
His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
7 Gospodova postava je popolna, spreobrača dušo. Gospodovo pričevanje je zanesljivo, preprostega dela modrega.
The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
8 Gospodova pravila so pravilna, razveseljujejo srce. Gospodova zapoved je čista in razsvetljuje oči.
The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
9 Gospodov strah je čist, ostaja na veke. Gospodove sodbe so resnične in vse skupaj pravične.
The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
10 Bolj si jih je želeti kakor zlata, da, kakor mnogo čistega zlata. Slajše so tudi kakor med in satovje.
More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Poleg tega je tvoj služabnik posvarjen po njih. In v njihovem izpolnjevanju je velika nagrada.
For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.
12 Kdo lahko razume njegove zmote? Očisti me pred skrivnimi krivdami.
Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord:
13 Svojega služabnika zadrži tudi pred prevzetnimi grehi; naj nimajo gospostva nad menoj. Potem bom lahko pošten in bom nedolžen pred velikim prestopkom.
And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
14 Naj bodo besede mojih ust in premišljevanje mojega srca sprejemljive v tvojem pogledu, oh Gospod, moja moč in moj odkupitelj.
And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer.
