< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.
我的靈魂,您要讚美上主,
2 I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.
在我一生,我要讚美上主,一息尚存,我要歌頌天主。
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.
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 departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes 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, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord 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 Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:
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 Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth 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 The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth 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 The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.
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 The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
願上主永永遠遠為君王!熙雍,您的天主萬壽無疆!
