< 詩篇 135 >
1 阿肋路亞!上主的眾僕請讚頌,請讚頌上主的聖名!
Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!
Ye who 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。
Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!
4 雅各伯原是上主所選,以色列永遠作祂自己的家產。
For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.
5 我確實知道,上主偉大無比!我們的上主,超越所有神祇!
I know that the LORD is great; 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。
All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all 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 the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.
He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.
9 埃及!祂在您內行了奇蹟異能,懲罰了法郎和他的萬眾臣。
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!
He 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。
Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings 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 for an inheritance, For an inheritance to Israel, his people.
13 上主,您的聖名千秋留存,上主,您的記念,萬世常新。
Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to 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 judgeth his people, And hath compassion on his servants.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.
They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.
They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.
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。
They that make them are like them; So is 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!
Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!
20 肋末的家族,請讚頌上主!敬愛上主的人讚頌上主!
Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
