< Psalms 103 >
1 Praise Adonai, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!
大衛的詩。 我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華! 凡在我裏面的,也要稱頌他的聖名!
2 Praise Adonai, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits;
我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華! 不可忘記他的一切恩惠!
3 who forgives all your depravities (moral evils); who heals all your diseases;
他赦免你的一切罪孽, 醫治你的一切疾病。
4 who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with chesed ·loving-kindness· and tender rachamim ·merciful loves·;
他救贖你的命脫離死亡, 以仁愛和慈悲為你的冠冕。
5 who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
他用美物使你所願的得以知足, 以致你如鷹返老還童。
6 Adonai executes righteous acts, and mishpat ·justice· for all who are oppressed.
耶和華施行公義, 為一切受屈的人伸冤。
7 He made known his ways to Moses [Drawn out], his deeds to the children of Israel [God prevails].
他使摩西知道他的法則, 叫以色列人曉得他的作為。
8 Adonai is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in chesed ·loving-kindness·.
耶和華有憐憫,有恩典, 不輕易發怒,且有豐盛的慈愛。
9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
他不長久責備, 也不永遠懷怒。
10 He has not dealt with us according to our crimes deserving peanlty, sins ·missing the goal·, nor repaid us for our depravities (moral evils).
他沒有按我們的罪過待我們, 也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his chesed ·loving-kindness· toward those who fear him.
天離地何等的高, 他的慈愛向敬畏他的人也是何等的大!
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our rebellious breaches of relationships from us.
東離西有多遠, 他叫我們的過犯離我們也有多遠!
13 Like a father has racham ·compassionate merciful love· on his children, so Adonai has racham ·compassionate merciful love· on those who fear him.
父親怎樣憐恤他的兒女, 耶和華也怎樣憐恤敬畏他的人!
14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
因為他知道我們的本體, 思念我們不過是塵土。
15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
至於世人,他的年日如草一樣。 他發旺如野地的花,
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
經風一吹,便歸無有; 它的原處也不再認識它。
17 But Adonai’s chesed ·loving-kindness· is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children;
但耶和華的慈愛歸於敬畏他的人, 從亙古到永遠; 他的公義也歸於子子孫孫-
18 to those who keep his covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
就是那些遵守他的約、 記念他的訓詞而遵行的人。
19 Adonai has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
耶和華在天上立定寶座; 他的權柄統管萬有。
20 Praise Adonai, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, Sh'ma ·hearing obeying· the voice of his word.
聽從他命令、成全他旨意、 有大能的天使,都要稱頌耶和華!
21 Praise Adonai, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
你們作他的諸軍,作他的僕役, 行他所喜悅的,都要稱頌耶和華!
22 Praise Adonai, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise Adonai, my soul!
你們一切被他造的, 在他所治理的各處, 都要稱頌耶和華! 我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!
