< 詩篇 135 >
1 阿肋路亞!上主的眾僕請讚頌,請讚頌上主的聖名!
Hallelujah. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord;
Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 請歌頌上主,因為上主是美善的,歌詠祂的名,因祂的名是甘甜的。
Hallelujah; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is lovely.
4 雅各伯原是上主所選,以色列永遠作祂自己的家產。
For Jacob hath the Lord chosen unto himself, Israel, as his peculiar treasure.
5 我確實知道,上主偉大無比!我們的上主,超越所有神祇!
For I well know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 上天及下地,海洋深淵的任何化工,上主只要願意,無一不由祂造成。
Whatsoever the Lord willeth, hath he done in the heavens, and on the earth, in the seas, and in all the deeps.
7 祂使雲彩由地面現露,祂使電光閃爍而成雨,祂使清風由寶庫發出。
He causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with the rain; he bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
[He it is] who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of cattle;
9 埃及!祂在您內行了奇蹟異能,懲罰了法郎和他的萬眾臣。
Who sent signs and wonderful tokens into the midst of thee, O Egypt, against Pharaoh, and against all his servants;
Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;
11 阿摩黎王息紅、巴商王敖格,以及客納罕地的王侯官吏。
Sichon the king of the Emorites, and 'Og the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 祂將他們的土地變作產業,賜給了自己的人民以色列。
And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 上主,您的聖名千秋留存,上主,您的記念,萬世常新。
O Lord, thy name [endureth] for ever: O Lord, thy memorial is throughout all generations.
14 因為上主護衛自己的百姓,對自己的僕人們表示憐憫。
For the Lord will espouse the cause of his people, and concerning his servants will he bethink himself.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men.
Mouths they have, but they speak not; eyes they have, but they see not;
Ears they have, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 鑄造偶像的人,將與偶像同亡,凡信賴偶像的人,也將是一樣。
Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.
19 以色列家族,請讚頌上主!亞郎家族,請讚頌上主!
O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord; O house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord.
20 肋末的家族,請讚頌上主!敬愛上主的人讚頌上主!
O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord; ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, even he that resideth at Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
