< Psalms 135 >

1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,
你們要讚美耶和華！ 你們要讚美耶和華的名！ 耶和華的僕人站在耶和華殿中； 站在我們上帝殿院中的，你們要讚美他！
2 who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
你們要讚美耶和華！ 耶和華本為善； 要歌頌他的名， 因為這是美好的。
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.
耶和華揀選雅各歸自己， 揀選以色列特作自己的子民。
5 For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.
原來我知道耶和華為大， 也知道我們的主超乎萬神之上。
6 The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
耶和華在天上，在地下， 在海中，在一切的深處， 都隨自己的意旨而行。
7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
他使雲霧從地極上騰， 造電隨雨而閃， 從府庫中帶出風來。
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.
他將埃及頭生的， 連人帶牲畜都擊殺了。
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
埃及啊，他施行神蹟奇事， 在你當中，在法老和他一切臣僕身上。
10 He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:
他擊殺許多的民， 又殺戮大能的王，
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
就是亞摩利王西宏和巴珊王噩， 並迦南一切的國王，
12 He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.
將他們的地賞賜他的百姓以色列為業。
13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
耶和華啊，你的名存到永遠！ 耶和華啊，你可記念的名存到萬代！
14 For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.
耶和華要為他的百姓伸冤， 為他的僕人後悔。
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
外邦的偶像是金的，銀的， 是人手所造的；
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
有口卻不能言， 有眼卻不能看，
17 they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
有耳卻不能聽， 口中也沒有氣息。
18 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
造他的要和他一樣， 凡靠他的也要如此。
19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;
以色列家啊，你們要稱頌耶和華！ 亞倫家啊，你們要稱頌耶和華！
20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
利未家啊，你們要稱頌耶和華！ 你們敬畏耶和華的，要稱頌耶和華！
21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
住在耶路撒冷的耶和華 該從錫安受稱頌。 你們要讚美耶和華！
