Psalmi 19
1 Nebo oznanja Božjo slavo in nebesni svod prikazuje delo njegovih rok.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2 Dan dnevu izreka govor in noč noči prikazuje znanje.
Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3 Ni ne govora, ne jezika, kjer ni slišati njihovega glasu.
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
4 Njihov stih gre po vsej zemlji in njihove besede do konca zemeljskega [kroga]. Vanje je postavil šotorsko svetišče za sonce,
Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5 ki je kakor ženin, ki prihaja iz svoje sobe in se razveseljuje kakor močan mož, da teče tek.
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
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 the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 Gospodova postava je popolna, spreobrača dušo. Gospodovo pričevanje je zanesljivo, preprostega dela modrega.
The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Gospodova pravila so pravilna, razveseljujejo srce. Gospodova zapoved je čista in razsvetljuje oči.
The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, 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 clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
10 Bolj si jih je želeti kakor zlata, da, kakor mnogo čistega zlata. Slajše so tudi kakor med in satovje.
They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
11 Poleg tega je tvoj služabnik posvarjen po njih. In v njihovem izpolnjevanju je velika nagrada.
Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.
12 Kdo lahko razume njegove zmote? Očisti me pred skrivnimi krivdami.
Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
13 Svojega služabnika zadrži tudi pred prevzetnimi grehi; naj nimajo gospostva nad menoj. Potem bom lahko pošten in bom nedolžen pred velikim prestopkom.
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
14 Naj bodo besede mojih ust in premišljevanje mojega srca sprejemljive v tvojem pogledu, oh Gospod, moja moč in moj odkupitelj.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
