< 詩篇 33 >
1 義人哪,你們應當靠耶和華歡樂; 正直人的讚美是合宜的。
A Psalm of David. Exult in the Lord, you just ones; together praise the upright.
Confess to the Lord with stringed instruments; sing psalms to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
Sing to him a new song. Sing psalms to him skillfully, with loud exclamation.
For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are in faith.
He loves mercy and judgment. The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6 諸天藉耶和華的命而造; 萬象藉他口中的氣而成。
By the word of the Lord, the heavens were established, and all their power, by the Spirit of his mouth:
gathering together the waters of the sea, as if in a container, placing the depths in storage.
Let all the earth fear the Lord, and may all the inhabitants of the world quake before him.
For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.
10 耶和華使列國的籌算歸於無有, 使眾民的思念無有功效。
The Lord scatters the counsels of the nations. Moreover, he reproves the thoughts of the people, and he rejects the counsels of the leaders.
11 耶和華的籌算永遠立定; 他心中的思念萬代常存。
But the counsel of the Lord remains for eternity, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12 以耶和華為上帝的,那國是有福的! 他所揀選為自己產業的,那民是有福的!
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his inheritance.
The Lord has looked down from heaven. He has seen all the sons of men.
From his well-prepared dwelling place, he has gazed upon all who dwell on the earth.
15 他是那造成他們眾人心的, 留意他們一切作為的。
He has formed the hearts of each one of them; he understands all their works.
The king is not saved by great power, nor will the giant be saved by his many powers.
The horse is false safety; for he will not be saved by the abundance of his powers.
18 耶和華的眼目看顧敬畏他的人 和仰望他慈愛的人,
Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him and on those who hope in his mercy,
19 要救他們的命脫離死亡, 並使他們在饑荒中存活。
so as to rescue their souls from death and to feed them during famine.
20 我們的心向來等候耶和華; 他是我們的幫助,我們的盾牌。
Our soul remains with the Lord. For he is our helper and protector.
21 我們的心必靠他歡喜, 因為我們向來倚靠他的聖名。
For in him, our heart will rejoice, and in his holy name, we have hoped.
22 耶和華啊,求你照着我們所仰望你的, 向我們施行慈愛!
Let your mercy be upon us, O Lord, just as we have hoped in you.
