< 詩篇 118 >
1 請你們向上主讚頌,因為他是美善寬仁,他的仁慈永遠常存。
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endures for ever.
Let Israel now say, that his mercy endures for ever.
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endures for ever.
Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endures for ever.
I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 上主偕同我,我不怕什麼,世人對待我,究竟能如何?
The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 上主偕同我,祂作我的助佑,我必看見我的仇人受辱。
The LORD takes my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11 他們從各處來將我圍因,奉上主名我將他們滅盡。
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12 雖然如同黃蜂將我圍因,又好像烈火把荊棘燒焚,奉上主名我將他們滅盡。
They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13 人雖然推撞我,叫我跌倒,然而上主卻扶時了我。
You have thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
14 上主是我的力量與勇敢,祂也始終作了我的救援。
The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 在義人居住的帳幕中,響起了勝利的歡呼聲:上主的右手大顯威能,
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 上主懲罰我雖然嚴厲非常,但卻沒有把我交於死亡。
The LORD has chastened me sore: but he has not given me over unto death.
Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
20 正義的門就是上主的門,惟獨義人才得進入此門。
This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 上主!我感謝您,因為您應允我,將您的救恩賜給我。
I will praise you: for you have heard me, and are become my salvation.
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Save now, I plead to you, O LORD: O LORD, I plead to you, send now prosperity.
26 奉上主之名而來的應該受讚頌,我們要由上主的殿內祝福您們。
Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
27 天主是上主,祂給我們光明;隆重列隊向祭壇進行。
God is the LORD, which has showed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 您是我天主,我感謝您,我的天主,我高聲頌揚您。
You are my God, and I will praise you: you are my God, I will exalt you.
29 請您們向上主讚頌,因為祂是美善寬仁,祂的仁慈永遠常存。
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures for ever.
