< Psalms 135 >
1 Alleluia. Praise you the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, [you his] servants,
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 Praise you the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.
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 for himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.
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, and 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 all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.
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 Who brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.
他使雲霧從地極上騰, 造電隨雨而閃, 從府庫中帶出風來。
8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of 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 the midst of you, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on 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 Who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings;
他擊殺許多的民, 又殺戮大能的王,
11 Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:
就是亞摩利王西宏和巴珊王噩, 並迦南一切的國王,
12 and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
將他們的地賞賜他的百姓以色列為業。
13 O Lord, your name [endures] for ever, and your memorial to 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 shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning 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 heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
外邦的偶像是金的,銀的, 是人手所造的;
16 They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see;
有口卻不能言, 有眼卻不能看,
17 they have ears, but they can’t hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.
有耳卻不能聽, 口中也沒有氣息。
18 Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.
造他的要和他一樣, 凡靠他的也要如此。
