Psalms 19 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ
In finem. Psalmus David.
ዕለት ፡ ለዕለት ፡ ትጐሥዕ ፡ ነቢበ ፤ ወሌሊት ፡ ለሌሊት ፡ ታየድዕ ፡ ጥበበ ።
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
19:1
הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם מְֽסַפְּרִ֥ים כְּבֽוֹד־אֵ֑ל וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָ֝דָ֗יו מַגִּ֥יד הָרָקִֽיעַ׃
οἱ οὐρανοὶ διηγοῦνται δόξαν θεοῦ ποίησιν δὲ χειρῶν αὐτοῦ ἀναγγέλλει τὸ στερέωμα
Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei, et opera manuum ejus annuntiat firmamentum.
አልቦ ፡ ነገረ ፡ ወአልቦ ፡ ነቢበ ፡ ዘኢተሰምዐ ፡ ቃሎሙ ።
The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
19:2
י֣וֹם לְ֭יוֹם יַבִּ֣יעַֽ אֹ֑מֶר וְלַ֥יְלָה לְּ֝לַ֗יְלָה יְחַוֶּה־דָּֽעַת׃
ἡμέρα τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐρεύγεται ῥῆμα καὶ νὺξ νυκτὶ ἀναγγέλλει γνῶσιν
Dies diei eructat verbum, et nox nocti indicat scientiam.
ውስተ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ምድር ፡ ወፅአ ፡ ነገሮሙ ፡ ወእስከ ፡ አጽናፈ ፡ ዓለም ፡ በጽሐ ፡ ነቢቦሙ ፤
Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
19:3
אֵֽין־אֹ֭מֶר וְאֵ֣ין דְּבָרִ֑ים בְּ֝לִ֗י נִשְׁמָ֥ע קוֹלָֽם׃
οὐκ εἰσὶν λαλιαὶ οὐδὲ λόγοι ὧν οὐχὶ ἀκούονται αἱ φωναὶ αὐτῶν
Non sunt loquelae, neque sermones, quorum non audiantur voces eorum.
ወውስተ ፡ ፀሓይ ፡ ሤመ ፡ ጽላሎቶ ። ወውእቱሰ ፡ ከመ ፡ መርዓዊ ፡ ዘይወፅእ ፡ እምጽርሑ ፤
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
19:4
בְּכׇל־הָאָ֨רֶץ׀ יָ֘צָ֤א קַוָּ֗ם וּבִקְצֵ֣ה תֵ֭בֵל מִלֵּיהֶ֑ם לַ֝שֶּׁ֗מֶשׁ שָֽׂם־אֹ֥הֶל בָּהֶֽם׃
εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐξῆλθεν ὁ φθόγγος αὐτῶν καὶ εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς οἰκουμένης τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ ἡλίῳ ἔθετο τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ
In omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum.
ይትፌሣሕ ፡ ከመ ፡ ይርባሕ ፡ ዘይሜርድ ፡ ፍኖቶ ። እምአጽናፈ ፡ ሰማይ ፡ ሙፅኡ ፡
Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
19:5
וְה֗וּא כְּ֭חָתָן יֹצֵ֣א מֵחֻפָּת֑וֹ יָשִׂ֥ישׂ כְּ֝גִבּ֗וֹר לָר֥וּץ אֹֽרַח׃
καὶ αὐτὸς ὡς νυμφίος ἐκπορευόμενος ἐκ παστοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀγαλλιάσεται ὡς γίγας δραμεῖν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ
In sole posuit tabernaculum suum ; et ipse tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo. Exsultavit ut gigas ad currendam viam ;
ወእስከ ፡ አጽናፈ ፡ ሰማይ ፡ ምእታዉ ፤ ወአልቦ ፡ ዘይትኀባእ ፡ እምላህቡ ።
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
19:6
מִקְצֵ֤ה הַשָּׁמַ֨יִם׀ מֽוֹצָא֗וֹ וּתְקוּפָת֥וֹ עַל־קְצוֹתָ֑ם וְאֵ֥ין נִ֝סְתָּ֗ר מֵחַמָּתֽוֹ׃
ἀπ’ ἄκρου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἡ ἔξοδος αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ κατάντημα αὐτοῦ ἕως ἄκρου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὃς ἀποκρυβήσεται τὴν θέρμην αὐτοῦ
a summo caelo egressio ejus. Et occursus ejus usque ad summum ejus ; nec est qui se abscondat a calore ejus.
ሕጉ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ ንጹሕ ፡ ወይመይጣ ፡ ለነፍስ ፤ ስምዑ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ እሙን ፡ ዘያጠብብ ፡ ሕፃናተ ።
His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
19:7
תּ֘וֹרַ֤ת יְהֹוָ֣ה תְּ֭מִימָה מְשִׁ֣יבַת נָ֑פֶשׁ עֵד֥וּת יְהֹוָ֥ה נֶ֝אֱמָנָ֗ה מַחְכִּ֥ימַת פֶּֽתִי׃
ὁ νόμος τοῦ κυρίου ἄμωμος ἐπιστρέφων ψυχάς ἡ μαρτυρία κυρίου πιστή σοφίζουσα νήπια
Lex Domini immaculata, convertens animas ; testimonium Domini fidele, sapientiam praestans parvulis.
ኵነኔሁ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ ርቱዕ ፡ ወይስተፌሥሕ ፡ ልበ ፤ ትእዛዙ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ ብሩህ ፡ ወይበርህ ፡ አዕይንተ ።
Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
19:8
פִּקּ֘וּדֵ֤י יְהֹוָ֣ה יְ֭שָׁרִים מְשַׂמְּחֵי־לֵ֑ב מִצְוַ֥ת יְהֹוָ֥ה בָּ֝רָ֗ה מְאִירַ֥ת עֵינָֽיִם׃
τὰ δικαιώματα κυρίου εὐθεῖα εὐφραίνοντα καρδίαν ἡ ἐντολὴ κυρίου τηλαυγής φωτίζουσα ὀφθαλμούς
Justitiae Domini rectae, laetificantes corda ; praeceptum Domini lucidum, illuminans oculos.
ፈሪሀ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ንጹሕ ፡ ወየሐዩ ፡ ለዓለም ፤ ፍትሑ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ ጽድቅ ፤ ወርትዕ ፡ ኅቡረ ።
Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
19:9
יִרְאַ֤ת יְהֹוָ֨ה׀ טְהוֹרָה֮ עוֹמֶ֢דֶת לָ֫עַ֥ד מִֽשְׁפְּטֵי־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱמֶ֑ת צָֽדְק֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃
ὁ φόβος κυρίου ἁγνός διαμένων εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος τὰ κρίματα κυρίου ἀληθινά δεδικαιωμένα ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό
Timor Domini sanctus, permanens in saeculum saeculi ; judicia Domini vera, justificata in semetipsa,
ወይትፈተው ፡ እምወርቅ ፡ ወእምዕንቍ ፡ ክቡር ፤ ወይጥዕም ፡ እመዓር ፡ ወሶከር ።
The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
19:10
הַֽנֶּחֱמָדִ֗ים מִ֭זָּהָב וּמִפַּ֣ז רָ֑ב וּמְתוּקִ֥ים מִ֝דְּבַ֗שׁ וְנֹ֣פֶת צוּפִֽים׃
ἐπιθυμητὰ ὑπὲρ χρυσίον καὶ λίθον τίμιον πολὺν καὶ γλυκύτερα ὑπὲρ μέλι καὶ κηρίον
desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum, et dulciora super mel et favum.
ወገብርከሰ ፡ የዐቅቦ ፤ ወበዐቂቦቱ ፡ ይትዐሰይ ፡ ብዙኀ ።
They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
19:11
גַּֽם־עַ֭בְדְּךָ נִזְהָ֣ר בָּהֶ֑ם בְּ֝שׇׁמְרָ֗ם עֵ֣קֶב רָֽב׃
καὶ γὰρ ὁ δοῦλός σου φυλάσσει αὐτά ἐν τῷ φυλάσσειν αὐτὰ ἀνταπόδοσις πολλή
Etenim servus tuus custodit ea ; in custodiendis illis retributio multa.
ለስሒት ፡ መኑ ፡ ይሌብዋ ፤ እምኅቡኣትየ ፡ አንጽሐኒ ። ወእምነኪር ፡ መሐኮ ፡ ለገብርከ ።
Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.
19:12
שְׁגִיא֥וֹת מִֽי־יָבִ֑ין מִֽנִּסְתָּר֥וֹת נַקֵּֽנִי׃
παραπτώματα τίς συνήσει ἐκ τῶν κρυφίων μου καθάρισόν με
Delicta quis intelligit ? ab occultis meis munda me ;
እመሰ ፡ ኢቀነዩኒ ፡ ውእተ ፡ ጊዜ ፡ ንጹሐ ፡ እከውን ፤ ወእነጽሕ ፡ እምዐባይ ፡ ኀጢአትየ ።
Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
19:13
גַּ֤ם מִזֵּדִ֨ים׀ חֲשֹׂ֬ךְ עַבְדֶּ֗ךָ אַֽל־יִמְשְׁלוּ־בִ֣י אָ֣ז אֵיתָ֑ם וְ֝נִקֵּ֗יתִי מִפֶּ֥שַֽׁע רָֽב׃
καὶ ἀπὸ ἀλλοτρίων φεῖσαι τοῦ δούλου σου ἐὰν μή μου κατακυριεύσωσιν τότε ἄμωμος ἔσομαι καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας μεγάλης
et ab alienis parce servo tuo. Si mei non fuerint dominati, tunc immaculatus ero, et emundabor a delicto maximo.
ወይከውን ፡ ሥሙረ ፡ ቃለ ፡ አፉየ ፡ ወሕሊና ፡ ልብየኒ ፡ ቅድሜየ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ በኵሉ ፡ ጊዜ ።
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.
19:14
יִ֥הְיֽוּ־לְרָצ֨וֹן׀ אִמְרֵי־פִ֡י וְהֶגְי֣וֹן לִבִּ֣י לְפָנֶ֑יךָ יְ֝הֹוָ֗ה צוּרִ֥י וְגֹאֲלִֽי׃ {פ}
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
Et erunt ut complaceant eloquia oris mei, et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo semper. Domine, adjutor meus, et redemptor meus.
እግዚእየ ፡ ረዳኢየ ፡ ወመድኀንየ ።
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
