< 诗篇 33 >
1 义人哪,你们应当靠耶和华欢乐; 正直人的赞美是合宜的。
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright.
Give thanks unto the LORD with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts of joy.
For the word of the LORD is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
6 诸天借耶和华的命而造; 万象借他口中的气而成。
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.
10 耶和华使列国的筹算归于无有, 使众民的思念无有功效。
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 耶和华的筹算永远立定; 他心中的思念万代常存。
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
12 以耶和华为 神的,那国是有福的! 他所拣选为自己产业的,那民是有福的!
Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
From the place of His habitation He looketh intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 他是那造成他们众人心的, 留意他们一切作为的。
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.
A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
18 耶和华的眼目看顾敬畏他的人 和仰望他慈爱的人,
Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;
19 要救他们的命脱离死亡, 并使他们在饥荒中存活。
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 我们的心向来等候耶和华; 他是我们的帮助,我们的盾牌。
Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 我们的心必靠他欢喜, 因为我们向来倚靠他的圣名。
For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 耶和华啊,求你照着我们所仰望你的, 向我们施行慈爱!
Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
