the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
諸天述說 神的榮耀．穹蒼傳揚他的手段。
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
這日到那日發出言語．這夜到那夜傳出知識。
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
無言無語、也無聲音可聽。
4 Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
它的量帶通遍天下、它的言語傳到地極。神在其間為太陽安設帳幕．
5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure
and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
~ Psalm 19. I wanted to read it for verse 14 before going to bed last night.
but when I started reading from the top... I was just amazed! If you read the first few verses in Chinese and compare it to the lyrics in 無 言的讚頌 , you'll see why =) but of course, the psalm doesn't stop there... it's just amazing how God revealed what praise and worship is all about in David's heart and that, that's how he starts it off
...enough said =)
