< 詩篇 145 >
1 我的天主,君王,我要頌揚您,歌頌您的名,世世代代不停止。
A Psalm of praise. Of David. I will extol thee, my God, O King, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 偉大的上主,實在應受讚美,上主的偉大,高深不可推測;
Great is Jehovah, and exceedingly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
4 世世代代應宣揚上主的工程,世世代代應傳述上主的大能:
One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
I will speak of the glorious splendour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
And they shall tell of the might of thy terrible acts; and thy great deeds will I declare.
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
8 主慈悲為懷,寬宏大方;他常緩於發怒,仁愛無量。
Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness.
9 上主對待萬有,溫和善良,對他的受造物,仁愛慈祥。
Jehovah is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 上主,願您的一切受造物稱謝您,上主,願您的一切聖徒們讚美您,
All thy works shall praise thee, Jehovah, and thy saints shall bless thee.
They shall tell of the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power;
To make known to the children of men his mighty acts, and the glorious splendour of his kingdom.
13 您的王國,是萬代的王國,您的王權,存留於無窮世;上主對自己的一切諾言,忠信不欺,上主對自己的一切受造,勝善無比。
Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and thy dominion is throughout all generations.
14 凡跌倒的,上主必要扶持,凡被壓抑的,使他們起立。
Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down.
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in its season.
Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17 上主在他的一切路徑上,至公至義;上主在他的一切化工上,聖善無比。
Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works.
18 上主接近一切呼求祂的人,就是一切誠心呼求祂的人。
Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth.
19 他必成全敬愛自己者的心願,聽到他們的呼號,必施以救援。
He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them.
20 凡愛慕上主的,上主必保護他們;凡作惡犯罪的,上主必消除他們。
Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy.
21 願我的口舌稱述上主的光榮,願眾生讚美他的聖名於無窮!
My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
