< Psalms 146 >
1 Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
你們要讚美耶和華! 我的心哪,你要讚美耶和華!
2 While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.
我一生要讚美耶和華! 我還活的時候要歌頌我的上帝!
3 Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
你們不要倚靠君王,不要倚靠世人; 他一點不能幫助。
4 Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.
他的氣一斷,就歸回塵土; 他所打算的,當日就消滅了。
5 Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
以雅各的上帝為幫助、 仰望耶和華-他上帝的,這人便為有福!
6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:
耶和華造天、地、海,和其中的萬物; 他守誠實,直到永遠。
7 Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;
他為受屈的伸冤, 賜食物與飢餓的。 耶和華釋放被囚的;
8 The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;
耶和華開了瞎子的眼睛; 耶和華扶起被壓下的人。 耶和華喜愛義人。
9 The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.
耶和華保護寄居的, 扶持孤兒和寡婦, 卻使惡人的道路彎曲。
10 The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.
耶和華要作王,直到永遠! 錫安哪,你的上帝要作王,直到萬代! 你們要讚美耶和華!
