< Psalms 147 >

1 Praise all of you the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
你们要赞美耶和华! 因歌颂我们的 神为善为美; 赞美的话是合宜的。
2 The LORD does build up Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
耶和华建造耶路撒冷, 聚集以色列中被赶散的人。
3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
他医好伤心的人, 裹好他们的伤处。
4 He tells the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.
他数点星宿的数目, 一一称它的名。
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
我们的主为大,最有能力; 他的智慧无法测度。
6 The LORD lifts up the meek: he casts the wicked down to the ground.
耶和华扶持谦卑人, 将恶人倾覆于地。
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
你们要以感谢向耶和华歌唱, 用琴向我们的 神歌颂。
8 Who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
他用云遮天,为地降雨, 使草生长在山上。
9 He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
他赐食给走兽 和啼叫的小乌鸦。
10 He delights not in the strength of the horse: he takes not pleasure in the legs of a man.
他不喜悦马的力大, 不喜爱人的腿快。
11 The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
耶和华喜爱敬畏他 和盼望他慈爱的人。
12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion.
耶路撒冷啊,你要颂赞耶和华! 锡安哪,你要赞美你的 神!
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
因为他坚固了你的门闩, 赐福给你中间的儿女。
14 He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
他使你境内平安, 用上好的麦子使你满足。
15 He sends forth his commandment upon earth: his word runs very swiftly.
他发命在地; 他的话颁行最快。
16 He gives snow like wool: he scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
他降雪如羊毛, 撒霜如炉灰。
17 He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
他掷下冰雹如碎渣; 他发出寒冷,谁能当得起呢?
18 He sends out his word, and melts them: he causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
他一出令,这些就都消化; 他使风刮起,水便流动。
19 He shows his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
他将他的道指示雅各, 将他的律例典章指示以色列。
20 He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise all of you the LORD.
别国他都没有这样待过; 至于他的典章,他们向来没有知道。 你们要赞美耶和华!
