1要歌颂和倚靠 神的权能义人哪!你们要靠着耶和华欢呼;正直人赞美主是合宜的。
1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2你们要弹琴称谢耶和华,用十弦瑟歌颂他。
2Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3你们要向他唱新歌,在欢呼声中巧妙地弹奏。
3Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4因为耶和华的话是正直的,他的一切作为都是诚实的。
4For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5耶和华喜爱公义和公正,全地充满耶和华的慈爱。
5He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6诸天借着耶和华的话而造,天上的万象借着他口中的气而成。
6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7他把海水聚集成垒(“成垒”或译:“在皮袋里”),把深海安放在库房中。
7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8愿全地都敬畏耶和华,愿世上的居民都惧怕他。
8Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9因为他说有,就有;命立,就立。
9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10耶和华破坏列国的谋略,使万民的计划挫败。
10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11耶和华的谋略永远立定,他心中的计划万代长存。
11The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12以耶和华为 神的,那国是有福的;耶和华拣选作自己产业的,那民是有福的。
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13耶和华从天上观看,他看见全人类。
13The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14从自己的住处,他察看地上所有的居民。
14From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15他是那创造众人的心,了解他们一切作为的。
15He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16君王不是因兵多得胜,勇士不是因力大得救。
16There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17想靠马得胜是枉然的;马虽然力大,也不能救人。
17An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18耶和华的眼睛看顾敬畏他的人,和那些仰望他慈爱的人;
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19要搭救他们的性命脱离死亡,使他们在饥荒中可以存活。
19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20我们的心等候耶和华,他是我们的帮助、我们的盾牌。
20Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21我们的心因他欢乐,因为我们倚靠他的圣名。
21For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22耶和华啊!求你照着我们所仰望你的,向我们施慈爱。
22Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
