Salmos 19

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God.

The expanse shows his handiwork.

2 Day after day they pour out speech,

and night after night they display knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language

where their voice is not heard.

4 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 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room,

like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.

6 His going out is from the end of the heavens,

his circuit to its ends.

There is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.

Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

8 Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart.

Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever.

Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.

10 They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold,

sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.

11 Moreover your servant is warned by them.

In keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discern his errors?

Forgive me from hidden errors.

13 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 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable in your sight,

Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.

Te Korōria o te Atua i Whakaaturia i te Kāpuatanga

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.

1 E kōrerotia ana e ngā rangi te korōria o te Atua;

ā, e whakaaturia ana e te kikorangi te mahi a ōna ringa.

2 E puaki ana te reo o tēnā rangi, o tēnā rangi,

e whakaatu mōhiotanga ana hoki tēnā pō, tēnā pō.

3 Kāhore he hamumu, kāhore he kupu,

kāhore e rangona tō rātou reo.

4 Kua puta tā rātou aho ki te whenua katoa,

ā rātou kupu, ā te pito rā anō o te ao.

Whakatūria ana e ia ki reira te tapenākara mō te rā;

5 ā, e puta ana ia me he tāne mārena hou

i tōna whare moenga, whakaī ana ia,

pērā ana me te tangata kaha e mea ana ki te oma whakataetae.

6 Ko tōna putanga kei tētahi pito o te rangi,

ā, whawhe noa ki tētahi pito;

kāhore hoki tētahi mea e ngaro i tōna mahana.

Te Ture a Ihowā

7 Tapatahi tonu te Ture a Ihowā,

he mea whakatahuri i te wairua;

pono tonu ngā whakaatu a Ihowā,

e whakawhaiwhakaaro ana i te kūare.

8 He tika ngā ako a Ihowā,

e whakahari ana i te ngākau,

he mā te whakahau a Ihowā,

e whakamārama ana i ngā kanohi.

9 He mā te wehi ki a Ihowā,

pūmau tonu ake ake,

he pono ngā whakaritenga a Ihowā,

tika kau anō.

10 Engari ēnā e hiahiatia ana i te kōura,

āe, i te tino kōura ahakoa maha;

reka atu i te honi,

i te māturuturutanga iho o ngā honikoma.

11 Nā ēnā anō tāu pononga i whakatūpato;

he nui te utu ki te puritia.

12 Ko wai e mātau ana ki ōna hē?

Whakamākia ōku hara puku.

13 Puritia anō tāu pononga kei riro i ngā hara

whakakake hei rangatira mōku;

ko reira ahau tū tika ai,

ā, ka wātea i te hē nui.

14 Kia manakohia ngā kupu a tōku māngai;

me ngā whakaaro o tōku ngākau i tōu aroaro,

e Ihowā, e tōku kāmaka, e tōku kaihoko.
