< Psalms 111 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council 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 honour and majesty: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
上主的作為輝煌,上主的正義常存。
4 He hath 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 hath given meat unto 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 hath shewed his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.
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 truth and judgment; all his precepts 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 are established for ever and ever, they 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 hath sent redemption unto his people; he hath 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 thereafter: his praise endureth 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。
