< Psalms 111 >
1 Praise you the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
阿肋路亞。在義人的集會和團聚中,我要全心讚頌上主。
2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
上主的化工確實偉大,凡喜愛祂的必須究察。
3 His work is honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endures for ever.
上主的作為輝煌,上主的正義常存。
4 He has made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
上主的奇蹟不可遺忘;上主實在是慈愛而溫良。
5 He has given meat to them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
上主賜給敬愛祂的人食物,上主永遠懷念自己的盟約。
6 He has showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
祂將偉業的異能啟示給選民,把外邦人的產業賞賜給他們。
7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
上主所行的是真誠正義;上主的一切規誡堅定不移。
8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
為萬世萬代永遠立定,全是基於真理和公正。
9 He sent redemption to his people: he has commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
祂速來救贖祂的百姓,永遠立定了祂的約盟;祂的名是神聖而可敬。
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures for ever.
敬愛上主,是智慧的開始:實行敬愛的人,算有智慧;他的榮譽,必定存留永世。
