< 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!
2 您們服役於上主聖殿的,您們侍立在我主前庭的,
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.
8 祂將埃及的人和牲畜,凡首生者都一起殺戮。
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!
10 祂擊敗了列國的萬民,祂殺死了強盛的國君:
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.
15 異民的偶像,無非金銀,只是人手中的製造品:
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.
16 偶像有口,而不能言;偶像有眼,而不能看;
They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.
17 偶像有耳,而聽不見;偶像有鼻,而無氣喘。
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!
21 住在耶路撒冷的君王,願他由熙雍承受讚頌!
Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
