第 19 篇
上帝的作为和律法
大卫的诗，交给乐长。
1诸天述说上帝的荣耀，
穹苍传扬祂的作为。
2它们日复一日地诉说，
夜复一夜地宣扬，
3无言无语，无声无息。
4它们的声音传遍天下，
它们的话语传到地极。
上帝在天上为太阳设立居所。
5太阳出来时，如步出洞房的新郎，
又如欢然奔跑赛程的健儿。
6它滑过长空，
从天这边绕到天那边，
热量广及万物。
7耶和华的律法完美，
能更新生命；
耶和华的法度可靠，
让愚人有智慧。
8耶和华的法则公正，
使人充满喜乐；
耶和华的命令纯全，
让人眼目明亮。
9要以纯洁的心敬畏耶和华，
直到永远；
耶和华的法令可靠，
全然公义。
10这些比纯金还宝贵，
比蜂房的蜜更甘甜。
11你仆人从中受到警戒，
遵守的人必得大赏赐。
12谁能知道自己的过失呢？
求你赦免我心中隐藏的过错。
13求你拦阻我，
别让我明知故犯，
别让罪恶辖制我。
这样，我才纯全正直，
免犯大过。
14耶和华——我的磐石、我的救赎主啊，
愿你喜悦我口中的言语、心中的意念。
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

4Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,19.4 line: or, rule, or, direction
5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.19.7 law: or, doctrine19.7 converting: or, restoring

10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.19.10 the honeycomb: Heb. the dropping of honeycombs
11Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.19.13 the great: or, much
14Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.19.14 strength: Heb. rock
