| 1 | 〔大衛的詩。〕我的心哪、你要稱頌耶和華.凡在我裡面的、也要稱頌他的聖名。
Of David. Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. | |
| 2 | 我的心哪、你要稱頌耶和華、不可忘記他的一切恩惠。
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-- | |
| 3 | 他赦免你的一切罪孽、醫治你的一切疾病。
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, | |
| 4 | 他救贖你的命脫離死亡、以仁愛和慈悲為你的冠冕。
who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, | |
| 5 | 他用美物、使你所願的得以知足、以致你如鷹返老還童。
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. | |
| 6 | 耶和華施行公義、為一切受屈的人伸冤。
The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. | |
| 7 | 他使摩西知道他的法則、叫以色列人曉得他的作為。
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: | |
| 8 | 耶和華有憐憫、有恩典、不輕易發怒、且有豐盛的慈愛。
The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. | |
| 9 | 他不長久責備、也不永遠懷怒。
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; | |
| 10 | 他沒有按我們的罪過待我們、也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。
he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. | |
| 11 | 天離地何等的高、他的慈愛向敬畏他的人、也是何等的大。
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; | |
| 12 | 東離西有多遠、他叫我們的過犯、離我們也有多遠。
as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. | |
| 13 | 父親怎樣憐恤他的兒女、耶和華也怎樣憐恤敬畏他的人。
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; | |
| 14 | 因為他知道我們的本體、思念我們不過是塵土。
for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. | |
| 15 | 至於世人、他的年日如草一樣.他發旺如野地的花。
As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; | |
| 16 | 經風一吹、便歸無有.他的原處、也不再認識他。
the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. | |
| 17 | 但耶和華的慈愛、歸於敬畏他的人、從亙古到永遠.他的公義、也歸於子子孫孫.
But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD'S love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children-- | |
| 18 | 就是那些遵守他的約、記念他的訓詞而遵行的人。
with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. | |
| 19 | 耶和華在天上立定寶座.他的權柄〔原文作國〕統管萬有。
The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. | |
| 20 | 聽從他命令成全他旨意有大能的天使、都要稱頌耶和華。
Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. | |
| 21 | 你們作他的諸軍作他的僕役行他所喜悅的、都要稱頌耶和華。
Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will. | |
| 22 | 你們一切被他造的、在他所治理的各處、都要稱頌耶和華.我的心哪、你要稱頌耶和華。
Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul. | |
