Ψαλμοί 19
1 εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ οἱ οὐρανοὶ διηγοῦνται δόξαν θεοῦ ποίησιν δὲ χειρῶν αὐτοῦ ἀναγγέλλει τὸ στερέωμα
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2 ἡμέρα τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐρεύγεται ῥῆμα καὶ νὺξ νυκτὶ ἀναγγέλλει γνῶσιν
Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3 οὐκ εἰσὶν λαλιαὶ οὐδὲ λόγοι ὧν οὐχὶ ἀκούονται αἱ φωναὶ αὐτῶν
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐξῆλθεν ὁ φθόγγος αὐτῶν καὶ εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς οἰκουμένης τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ ἡλίῳ ἔθετο τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ
Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest part of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5 καὶ αὐτὸς ὡς νυμφίος ἐκπορευόμενος ἐκ παστοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀγαλλιάσεται ὡς γίγας δραμεῖν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6 ἀπ’ ἄκρου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἡ ἔξοδος αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ κατάντημα αὐτοῦ ἕως ἄκρου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὃς ἀποκρυβήσεται τὴν θέρμην αὐτοῦ
His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 ὁ νόμος τοῦ κυρίου ἄμωμος ἐπιστρέφων ψυχάς ἡ μαρτυρία κυρίου πιστή σοφίζουσα νήπια
The LORD's Law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
8 τὰ δικαιώματα κυρίου εὐθεῖα εὐφραίνοντα καρδίαν ἡ ἐντολὴ κυρίου τηλαυγής φωτίζουσα ὀφθαλμούς
The LORD's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 ὁ φόβος κυρίου ἁγνός διαμένων εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος τὰ κρίματα κυρίου ἀληθινά δεδικαιωμένα ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
10 ἐπιθυμητὰ ὑπὲρ χρυσίον καὶ λίθον τίμιον πολὺν καὶ γλυκύτερα ὑπὲρ μέλι καὶ κηρίον
More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
11 καὶ γὰρ ὁ δοῦλός σου φυλάσσει αὐτά ἐν τῷ φυλάσσειν αὐτὰ ἀνταπόδοσις πολλή
Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
12 παραπτώματα τίς συνήσει ἐκ τῶν κρυφίων μου καθάρισόν με
Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
13 καὶ ἀπὸ ἀλλοτρίων φεῖσαι τοῦ δούλου σου ἐὰν μή μου κατακυριεύσωσιν τότε ἄμωμος ἔσομαι καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας μεγάλης
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 καὶ ἔσονται εἰς εὐδοκίαν τὰ λόγια τοῦ στόματός μου καὶ ἡ μελέτη τῆς καρδίας μου ἐνώπιόν σου διὰ παντός κύριε βοηθέ μου καὶ λυτρωτά μου
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight always, LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
