称颂 神的创造与律法

大卫的诗,交给诗班长。

19 诸天述说 神的荣耀,

穹苍传扬他的作为。

天天发出言语,

夜夜传出知识。

没有话语,没有言词,

人也听不到它们的声音。

它们的声音(按照《马索拉文本》,“声音”作“准绳”,现参照《七十士译本》等古译本翻译)传遍全地,

它们的言语传到地极,

 神在它们中间为太阳安设帐幕。

太阳如同新郎出洞房,

又像勇士欢欢喜喜地跑路。

它从天的这边出来,

绕行到天的那边;

没有甚么可以隐藏,得不到它的温暖。

耶和华的律法是完全的,能使人心苏醒;

耶和华的法度是坚定的,能使愚人有智慧。

耶和华的训词是正直的,能使人心快乐;

耶和华的命令是清洁的,能使人的眼睛明亮。

耶和华的话语(“耶和华的话语”原文作“耶和华的敬畏”)是洁净的,能坚立到永远;

耶和华的典章是真实的,完全公义;

10 都比金子宝贵,比大量的精金更宝贵;

比蜜甘甜,比蜂房滴下来的蜜更甘甜;

11 并且你的仆人也借着这些得到警戒,

谨守这些就得着大赏赐。

12 谁能知道自己的错误呢?

求你赦免我隐而未现的过失。

13 求你拦阻你仆人,不犯任意妄为的罪,

不许它们辖制我;

我才可以完全,不犯大过。

14 耶和华我的盘石、我的救赎主啊!

愿我口中的言语、心里的意念,

都在你面前蒙悦纳。

The Law of the Lord Is Perfect

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

19 (A)The heavens declare the glory of God,
    and the sky above[a] proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
    and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words,
    whose voice is not heard.
(B)Their (C)voice[b] goes out through all the earth,
    and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for (D)the sun,
    (E)which comes out like (F)a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
    and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
    and its circuit to the end of them,
    and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

(G)The law of the Lord is perfect,[c]
    (H)reviving the soul;
(I)the testimony of the Lord is (J)sure,
    (K)making wise (L)the simple;
(M)the precepts of the Lord are right,
    rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is (N)pure,
    (O)enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the Lord is clean,
    enduring forever;
the rules[d] of the Lord are (P)true,
    and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than (Q)gold,
    even much (R)fine gold;
(S)sweeter also than honey
    and drippings of (T)the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
    (U)in keeping them there is great reward.

12 (V)Who can discern his errors?
    (W)Declare me innocent from (X)hidden faults.
13 (Y)Keep back your servant also from (Z)presumptuous sins;
    let them not have (AA)dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
    and innocent of great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
    be acceptable in your sight,
    O Lord, my (AB)rock and my (AC)redeemer.
