< 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 song of praise. By David.” I will extol thee, my God, the King! I will praise thy name for ever and ever!
Every day will I bless thee, And 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 to be praised; Yea, 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 another, And shall declare thy mighty deeds.
I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, And of thy wonderful works.
Men shall speak of the might of thy terrible deeds, And I will declare thy greatness;
They shall pour forth the praise of thy great good And sing of thy righteousness.
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 full of compassion, Slow to anger, and rich 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 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 praise thee, O LORD! And thy holy ones bless thee!
They speak of the glory of thy kingdom, And talk of thy power;
To make known to the sons of men his mighty deeds, 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 an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth 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 that fall, And raiseth up all that are bowed down.
The eyes of all wait upon thee, And thou givest them their food in due season;
Thou openest thine 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。
The LORD is righteous in all his ways, And merciful 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 to all 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 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。
The LORD preserveth all 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 his holy name for ever and ever!
