147

1稱頌 神復興耶路撒冷之恩你們要讚美耶和華。歌頌我們的 神,這是多麼美善,讚美他,這是美好的,是合宜的。
1Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.
2耶和華重建耶路撒冷,召聚被趕散的以色列人。
2Yahweh builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3他醫好傷心的人,裹好他們的傷處。
3He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4他數點星辰的數目,一一給它們起名。
4He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.
5我們的主偉大,大有能力;他的智慧無法測度。
5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
6耶和華扶持謙卑的人,卻把惡人丟棄在地。
6Yahweh upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
7你們要以感謝的心向耶和華歌唱,用琴向我們的 神歌頌。
7Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,
8他以密雲遮蓋天空,為大地預備雨水,使群山長滿青草。
8who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.
9他把食物賜給走獸,也賜給啼叫的小烏鴉。
9He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
10他喜歡的不是馬的力大,他喜悅的不是人的腿快。
10He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11耶和華喜悅敬畏他的人,喜悅仰望他慈愛的人。
11Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
12耶路撒冷啊!你要頌讚耶和華;錫安哪!你要讚美你的 神。
12Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!
13因為他堅固了你城門的門閂,賜福在你中間的兒女。
13For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.
14他使你的邊界平靖;用上好的麥子使你飽足。
14He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15他向地發出命令,他的話迅速頒行。
15He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.
16他降下像羊毛一樣的雪,撒下像爐灰一樣的霜。
16He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.
17他拋下像碎屑一樣的冰雹;面對他發出的寒冷,誰能抵受得住呢?
17He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?
18他發出命令,這一切就都融化;他使風颳起,水就流動。
18He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19他把自己的話向雅各頒布,把自己的律例和典章向以色列頒布。
19He shows his word to Jacob; his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
20他從沒有這樣對待其他各國;他們都不知道他的典章。你們要讚美耶和華。
20He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise Yah!
