< 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。
I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, 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 the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.
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:
Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.
And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.
They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.
8 主慈悲為懷,寬宏大方;他常緩於發怒,仁愛無量。
The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.
9 上主對待萬有,溫和善良,對他的受造物,仁愛慈祥。
The Lord is sweet 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,
Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:
To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy 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 endureth throughout all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words: and holy in all his works.
14 凡跌倒的,上主必要扶持,凡被壓抑的,使他們起立。
The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.
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。
The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy 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。
The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to 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 will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save 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。
The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will 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 the Lord: and let all flesh bless thy holy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
