Psalms

你們要讚美耶和華！你們要讚美耶和華的名！耶和華的僕人站在耶和華殿中；站在我們神殿院中的，你們要讚美他！

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise {him}, O ye servants of the LORD.

就是站在耶和華殿中，站在我們神殿院中的。

Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,

你們要讚美耶和華！耶和華本為善；要歌頌他的名，因為這是美好的。

Praise the LORD; for the LORD {is} good: sing praises unto his name; for {it is} pleasant.

耶和華揀選雅各歸自己，揀選以色列特作自己的子民。

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, {and} Israel for his peculiar treasure.

原來我知道耶和華為大，也知道我們的主超乎萬神之上。

For I know that the LORD {is} great, and {that} our Lord {is} above all gods.

耶和華在天上，在地下，在海中，在一切的深處，都隨自己的意旨而行。

Whatsoever the LORD pleased, {that} did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

他使雲霧從地極上騰，造電隨雨而閃，從府庫中帶出風來。

He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

他將埃及頭生的，連人帶牲畜都擊殺了。

Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. {both...: Heb. from man unto beast}

埃及啊，他施行神蹟奇事，在你當中，在法老和他一切臣僕身上。

{Who} sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

他擊殺許多的民，又殺戮大能的王，

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

就是亞摩利王西宏和巴珊王噩，並迦南一切的國王，

Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

將他們的地賞賜他的百姓以色列為業。

And gave their land {for} an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

耶和華啊，你的名存到永遠！耶和華啊，你可記念的名存到萬代！

Thy name, O LORD, {endureth} for ever; {and} thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. {throughout...: Heb. to generation and generation}

耶和華要為他的百姓伸冤，為他的僕人後悔。

For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

外邦的偶像是金的，銀的，是人手所造的；

The idols of the heathen {are} silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

有口卻不能言，有眼卻不能看，

They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

有耳卻不能聽，口中也沒有氣息。

They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there {any} breath in their mouths.

造他的要和他一樣，凡靠他的也要如此。

They that make them are like unto them: {so is} every one that trusteth in them.

以色列家啊，你們要稱頌耶和華！亞倫家啊，你們要稱頌耶和華！

Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

利未家啊，你們要稱頌耶和華！你們敬畏耶和華的，要稱頌耶和華！

Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

住在耶路撒冷的，耶和華該從錫安受稱頌。你們要讚美耶和華！

Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
