< 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 hymn of praise by 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 the Lord, and greatly 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 praise thy works to the other, and thy mighty acts shall they declare.
On the majestic glory of thy excellence, and on thy wondrous deeds will I meditate.
And of the might of thy terrible acts shall men converse: and thy greatness will I relate.
The memorial of thy abundant goodness shall they loudly proclaim, and they shall sing joyfully of thy righteousness.
8 主慈悲為懷,寬宏大方;他常緩於發怒,仁愛無量。
Gracious and merciful is the Lord, long-suffering, and great in kindness.
9 上主對待萬有,溫和善良,對他的受造物,仁愛慈祥。
The Lord is good to all, and his 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 thank thee, O Lord; and thy pious servants shall bless thee.
Of the glory of thy kingdom shall they converse, and of thy might shall they speak:
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty 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 eternities, and thy dominion [subsisteth] throughout all generations.
14 凡跌倒的,上主必要扶持,凡被壓抑的,使他們起立。
The Lord upholdeth all who are falling, and raiseth up all those who are bowed down.
The eyes of all wait hopefully upon thee, and thou givest them their food in its due 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。
Righteous is the Lord in all his ways, and beneficent 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 those who call on him, to all who call on 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。
The desire of those who fear him will he fulfill, and their cry will he hear, 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 preserveth all those who love him; but 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!
The praise of the Lord shall my mouth speak: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
