< Psalmorum 19 >

1 in finem psalmus David caeli enarrant gloriam Dei et opera manuum eius adnuntiat firmamentum
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork.
2 dies diei eructat verbum et nox nocti indicat scientiam
Day to day utters speech, and night to night shows knowledge.
3 non sunt loquellae neque sermones quorum non audiantur voces eorum
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 in sole posuit tabernaculum suum et ipse tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo exultavit ut gigans ad currendam viam suam
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
6 a summo caeli egressio eius et occursus eius usque ad summum eius nec est qui se abscondat a calore eius
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit to the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 lex Domini inmaculata convertens animas testimonium Domini fidele sapientiam praestans parvulis
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 iustitiae Domini rectae laetificantes corda praeceptum Domini lucidum inluminans oculos
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 timor Domini sanctus permanens in saeculum saeculi iudicia Domini vera iustificata in semet ipsa
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum et dulciora super mel et favum
More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 etenim servus tuus custodit ea in custodiendis illis retributio multa
Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 delicta quis intellegit ab occultis meis munda me
Who can understand his errors? cleanse you me from secret faults.
13 et ab alienis parce servo tuo si mei non fuerint dominati tunc inmaculatus ero et emundabor a delicto maximo
Keep back your 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.
14 et erunt ut conplaceant eloquia oris mei et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo semper Domine adiutor meus et redemptor meus
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
