1 義人哪、你們應當靠耶和華歡樂.正直人的讚美是合宜的。
Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. |
2 你們應當彈琴稱謝耶和華、用十絃瑟歌頌他。
Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. |
3 應當向他唱新歌、彈得巧妙、聲音洪亮。
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. |
4 因為耶和華的言語正直.凡他所作的、盡都誠實。
For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. |
5 他喜愛仁義公平.遍地滿了耶和華的慈愛。
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. |
6 諸天藉耶和華的命而造、萬象藉他口中的氣而成。
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. |
7 他聚集海水如壘、收藏深洋在庫房。
He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. |
8 願全地都敬畏耶和華.願世上的居民、都懼怕他。
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him. |
9 因為他說有、就有.命立、就立。
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. |
10 耶和華使列國的籌算歸於無有、使眾民的思念無有功效。
The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. |
11 耶和華的籌算永遠立定、他心中的思念萬代常存。
But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. |
12 以耶和華為 神的、那國是有福的.他所揀選為自己產業的、那民是有福的。
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance. |
13 耶和華從天上觀看.他看見一切的世人。
From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind; |
14 從他的居所、往外察看地上一切的居民。
from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth-- |
15 他是那造成他們眾人心的、留意他們一切作為的。
he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. |
16 君王不能因兵多得勝.勇士不能因力大得救。
No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. |
17 靠馬得救是枉然的.馬也不能因力大救人。
A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. |
18 耶和華的眼目、看顧敬畏他的人、和仰望他慈愛的人、
But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, |
19 要救他們的命脫離死亡、並使他們在饑荒中存活。
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. |
20 我們的心向來等候耶和華.他是我們的幫助、我們的盾牌。
We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. |
21 我們的心必靠他歡喜、因為我們向來倚靠他的聖名。
In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. |
22 耶和華阿、求你照著我們所仰望你的、向我們施行慈愛。
May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you. |
