< 詩篇 103 >
1 達味作。我的靈魂,請向上主讚頌,我的五內,請向主名讚頌。
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 我的靈魂,請向上主讚頌,請你不要忘記他的恩寵。
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 是他赦免了你的各種愆尤,是他治愈了你的一切病苦,
Who forgives all of your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;
4 是他叫你的性命在死亡中得到保全,是他用仁慈以及愛情給你作了冠冕,
Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
5 是他賞賜你一生幸福滿盈,是他使你的青春更新如鷹。
Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 上主曾將自己的道路告知梅瑟,給以色列子民彰顯自己的功績。
He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 他沒有按我們的罪惡對待我們,也沒有照我們的過犯報復我們。
He has not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 就如上天距離下地有多麼高,他待敬畏他者的慈愛也多高;
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 就如東方距離西方有多麼遠,他使我們的罪離我們也多遠;
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 就如父親怎樣憐愛自己兒女們,上主也怎樣憐愛敬畏自己的人們。
Like a father pities his children, so the LORD pities them that fear him.
14 他原知道我們怎樣形成,也記得我們不過是灰塵。
For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
15 世人的歲月與青草無異,又像田野的花,茂盛一時,
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 只要輕風吹過,他就不復存在,沒有人認得出他原有的所在。
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 但上主的慈愛永遠臨於敬畏他的人,他的正義永遠臨於他們的子子孫孫:
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18 就是臨於那些遵守他盟約的人,和那些懷念並履行他誡命的人。
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 上主在天上立定了自己的寶位,天下的萬物都屬他的王權統治。
The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom rules over all.
20 上主的眾天使,請你們讚美上主,你們是執行他命令的大能臣僕,又是服從上主聖言的聽命公侯;
Bless the LORD, all of you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 上主的眾天使,請讚美上主,您們是奉行祂旨意的忠僕,
Bless all of you the LORD, all you his hosts; all of you ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 上主所有的一切受造物,在祂權限所達的各處,請您們大家都讚美上主。我的靈魂請您讚美上主!
Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
