1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.

2 \19:1\The heavens are sounding the glory of God; the arch of the sky makes clear the work of his hands.

3 \19:2\Day after day it sends out its word, and night after night it gives knowledge.

4 \19:3\There are no words or language; their voice makes no sound.

5 \19:4\Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he put a tent for the sun,

6 \19:5\Who is like a newly married man coming from his bride-tent, and is glad like a strong runner starting on his way.

7 \19:6\His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circle to the ends of it; there is nothing which is not open to his heat.

8 \19:7\The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.

9 \19:8\The orders of the Lord are right, making glad the heart: the rule of the Lord is holy, giving light to the eyes.

10 \19:9\The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness.

11 \19:10\More to be desired are they than gold, even than much shining gold; sweeter than the dropping honey.

12 \19:11\By them is your servant made conscious of danger, and in keeping them there is great reward.

13 \19:12\Who has full knowledge of his errors? make me clean from secret evil.

14 \19:13\Keep your servant back from sins of pride; let them not have rule over me: then will I be upright and free from great sin.

15 \19:14\Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing in your eyes, O Lord, my strength and my salvation.

1 诸天述说 神的荣耀, 穹苍传扬他的作为。

2 天天发出言语, 夜夜传出知识。

3 没有话语, 没有言词, 人也听不到它们的声音。

4 它们的声音("声音"原文作"准绳")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。

5 太阳如同新郎出洞房, 又像勇士欢欢喜喜地跑路。

6 它从天的这边出来, 绕行到天的那边; 没有什么可以隐藏, 得不到它的温暖。

7 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。

8 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。

9 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 耶和华我的磐石、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。
