< Psalms 146 >
1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
我的靈魂,您要讚美上主,
2 As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.
在我一生,我要讚美上主,一息尚存,我要歌頌天主。
3 Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
您們不要全心依賴王侯大臣,也不要依賴不能施救的世人;
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.
他的氣息一斷,就歸於灰土,他的一切計劃立刻化為烏有。
5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,
凡是以雅各伯的天主為自己扶助的人,上主天主為自己希望的,是有福的人。
6 Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;
上主創造了上天與下土,海洋和其中的所有一切。他持守信實,一直到永久。
7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
上主為被欺的人作辯護,上主給饑餓的人賜食物,上主使被囚的人得自由。
8 Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;
上主開啟瞎子的眼睛,上主使傴僂的人直身,上主愛慕那正義的人。
9 Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.
上主對旅客加以保護,上主支持孤兒和寡婦,上主迷惑惡人的道路。
10 Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
願上主永永遠遠為君王!熙雍,您的天主萬壽無疆!
