Salmi 19

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Magistro chori. Psalmus. David.	1 For the leader. A psalm of David.
2 Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei, et opera manuum eius annuntiat firmamentum.	2 The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky proclaims its builder's craft.
3 Dies diei eructat verbum, et nox nocti indicat scientiam.	3 One day to the next conveys that message; one night to the next imparts that knowledge.
4 Non sunt loquelae neque sermones, quorum non intellegantur voces:	4 There is no word or sound; no voice is heard;
5 in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum.	5 Yet their report goes forth through all the earth, their message, to the ends of the world. God has pitched there a tent for the sun;
6 Soli posuit tabernaculum in eis, et ipse, tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo, exsultavit ut gigas ad currendam viam.	6 it comes forth like a bridegroom from his chamber, and like an athlete joyfully runs its course.
7 A finibus caelorum egressio eius, et occursus eius usque ad fines eorum, nec est quod se abscondat a calore eius.	7 From one end of the heavens it comes forth; its course runs through to the other; nothing escapes its heat.
8 Lex Domini immaculata, reficiens animam, testimonium Domini fidele, sapientiam praestans parvulis.	8 The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The decree of the LORD is trustworthy, giving wisdom to the simple.
9 Iustitiae Domini rectae, laetificantes corda, praeceptum Domini lucidum, illuminans oculos.	9 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the LORD is clear, enlightening the eye.
10 Timor Domini mundus, permanens in saeculum saeculi; iudicia Domini vera, iusta omnia simul,	10 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The statutes of the LORD are true, all of them just;
11 desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum, et dulciora super mel et favum stillantem.	11 More desirable than gold, than a hoard of purest gold, Sweeter also than honey or drippings from the comb.
12 Etenim servus tuus eruditur in eis; in custodiendis illis retributio multa.	12 By them your servant is instructed; obeying them brings much reward.
13 Errores quis intellegit? Ab occultis munda me	13 Who can detect heedless failings? Cleanse me from my unknown faults.
14 et a superbia custodi servum tuum, ne dominetur mei, Tunc immaculatus ero et emundabor a delicto maximo.	14 But from willful sins keep your servant; let them never control me. Then shall I be blameless, innocent of grave sin.
15 Sint ut complaceant eloquia oris mei, et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo. Domine, adiutor meus et redemptor meus.	15 Let the words of my mouth meet with your favor, keep the thoughts of my heart before you, LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
