1颂赞 神的权能和拣选你们要赞美耶和华，你们要赞美耶和华的名；耶和华的众仆人哪！你们都要赞美他。
1Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2在耶和华殿中侍候的，在我们 神殿的院里侍候的，你们要赞美他。
2Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
3你们要赞美耶和华，因耶和华本是良善的；你们要歌颂他的名，因为他的名是美好的。
3Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.
4因为耶和华拣选了雅各归他自己，拣选了以色列作他自己的产业。
4For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5我确实知道耶和华是伟大的，我们的主超越万神之上。
5For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.
6在天上，在地上，在海中，在一切深处，耶和华喜欢什么，就作什么。
6All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
7他使云雾从地极上升，发出闪电随雨而来，又从他的府库吹出风来。
7Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8他把埃及头生的，无论人或牲畜都击杀了。
8Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
9埃及啊！他在你当中施行神迹和奇事，惩罚法老和他所有的臣仆。
9He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10他击杀了多国的民，杀戮了强悍的王，
10Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,
11就是亚摩利王西宏、巴珊王噩，和迦南列国的王。
11Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
12他把他们的地赐给了自己的子民以色列作产业。
12And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,
13耶和华啊！你的名存到永远；耶和华啊！你可记念的名留存万代。
13O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
14因为耶和华要为自己的子民伸冤，他要怜悯自己的仆人。
14For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
15列国的偶像是金的银的，是人手所做的。
15The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
16有口却不能说话，有眼却不能看，
16A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
17有耳却不能听，口中也没有气息。
17Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose — there is no breath in their mouth!
18做偶像的必和它们一样，所有倚靠它们的也必这样。
18Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
19以色列家啊！你们要称颂耶和华；亚伦家啊！你们要称颂耶和华；
19O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
20利未家啊！你们要称颂耶和华；敬畏耶和华的，你们要称颂耶和华。
20O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
21从锡安来的耶和华，就是住在耶路撒冷的，是应当称颂的。你们要赞美耶和华。
21Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem — praise ye Jah!
