詩篇 111

1 你們要讚美耶和華！ 我要在正直人的大會中，並公會中， 一心稱謝耶和華。

Praise Yahweh! I will thank Yahweh with my entire inner being, every time I am with a large group of godly/righteous people.

2 耶和華的作為本為大； 凡喜愛的都必考察。

The things that Yahweh has done are wonderful! All those who are delighted/pleased with those things desire to (study/think about) them.

3 他所行的是尊榮和威嚴； 他的公義存到永遠。

[Because of everything] that he does, people greatly honor him and respect him because he is a great king; the righteous/just things that he does will endure forever.

4 他行了奇事，使人記念； 耶和華有恩惠，有憐憫。

He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.

5 他賜糧食給敬畏他的人； 他必永遠記念他的約。

He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].

6 他向百姓顯出大能的作為， 把外邦的地賜給他們為業。

By enabling his people to capture the lands that belonged to other people-groups, he has shown to [us], his people, that he is very powerful.

7 他手所行的是誠實公平； 他的訓詞都是確實的，

He [MTY] faithfully [does what he has promised] and always does what is just/fair, and we can depend on him [to help us] when he commands us to do things.

8 是永永遠遠堅定的， 是按誠實正直設立的。

What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.

9 他向百姓施行救贖， 命定他的約，直到永遠； 他的名聖而可畏。

He rescued [us], his people, [from being slaves in Egypt], and he made an agreement [with us] that will last forever. He [MTY] is holy and awesome!

10 敬畏耶和華是智慧的開端； 凡遵行他命令的是聰明人。 耶和華是永遠當讚美的！

Revering Yahweh is the way to become wise. All those who obey [his commands] will know what is good [for them to decide to do]. We should praise him forever!
