< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
你們要讚美耶和華! 我的心哪,你要讚美耶和華!
2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
我一生要讚美耶和華! 我還活的時候要歌頌我的上帝!
3 Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help.
你們不要倚靠君王,不要倚靠世人; 他一點不能幫助。
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
他的氣一斷,就歸回塵土; 他所打算的,當日就消滅了。
5 Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope [is] in the LORD his God:
以雅各的上帝為幫助、 仰望耶和華-他上帝的,這人便為有福!
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein [is: ] which keepeth truth for ever:
耶和華造天、地、海,和其中的萬物; 他守誠實,直到永遠。
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
他為受屈的伸冤, 賜食物與飢餓的。 耶和華釋放被囚的;
8 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
耶和華開了瞎子的眼睛; 耶和華扶起被壓下的人。 耶和華喜愛義人。
9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
耶和華保護寄居的, 扶持孤兒和寡婦, 卻使惡人的道路彎曲。
10 The LORD shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
耶和華要作王,直到永遠! 錫安哪,你的上帝要作王,直到萬代! 你們要讚美耶和華!
