Psalms 33
1 You righteous people should sing joyfully to Yahweh because that is what he deserves.
义人哪，你们应当靠耶和华欢乐； 正直人的赞美是合宜的。
2 Praise Yahweh as you play songs on the lyre/harp. Praise him as you play [other] instruments that have many strings.
你们应当弹琴称谢耶和华， 用十弦瑟歌颂他。
3 Sing a new song to him; Play those instruments well, and shout joyfully as you play them!
应当向他唱新歌， 弹得巧妙，声音洪亮。
4 Yahweh always does what he says that he will do; we can trust that everything that he does is right.
因为耶和华的言语正直； 凡他所做的尽都诚实。
5 He loves everything that we do that is just and right. People all over the earth can know that Yahweh faithfully loves us.
他喜爱仁义公平； 遍地满了耶和华的慈爱。
6 Yahweh created everything in the sky by commanding it. By what he said [MTY] he created all the stars.
诸天借耶和华的命而造； 万象借他口中的气而成。
7 He gathered all the water into one huge mass like [someone scoops liquid] into a container.
他聚集海水如垒， 收藏深洋在库房。
8 Everyone on the earth should revere Yahweh [DOU].
愿全地都敬畏耶和华！ 愿世上的居民都惧怕他！
9 When he spoke, the world (was created/started to exist). Everything started to exist as a result of him commanding it.
因为他说有，就有， 命立，就立。
10 Yahweh frustrates the things that the [pagan] nations decide to do. He prevents them from doing the [evil] things that they plan to do.
耶和华使列国的筹算归于无有， 使众民的思念无有功效。
11 But what Yahweh decides to do will last forever. What he plans to do will never be changed.
耶和华的筹算永远立定； 他心中的思念万代常存。
12 Yahweh blesses those nations who choose him to be their God; He is pleased with those whom he has chosen to receive what he has promised.
以耶和华为 神的，那国是有福的！ 他所拣选为自己产业的，那民是有福的！
13 Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees all us people;
耶和华从天上观看； 他看见一切的世人。
14 from where he rules [MTY], he looks down on all the people who live on the earth.
从他的居所往外察看地上一切的居民—
15 He formed our inner beings, and he sees everything that we do.
他是那造成他们众人心的， 留意他们一切作为的。
16 It is not because a king has a great army that he is able to win [battles], and it is not because a soldier is very strong that he is able to defeat [his enemy].
君王不能因兵多得胜； 勇士不能因力大得救。
17 It is foolish to trust that because horses are very strong that they will able to win a battle and save their riders.
靠马得救是枉然的； 马也不能因力大救人。
18 Do not forget that Yahweh watches over those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to faithfully love them.
耶和华的眼目看顾敬畏他的人 和仰望他慈爱的人，
19 He saves them [SYN] from dying [before they should die] and preserves them when there is a famine.
要救他们的命脱离死亡， 并使他们在饥荒中存活。
20 We trust that Yahweh will help us; he protects us like a shield protects a soldier [MET].
我们的心向来等候耶和华； 他是我们的帮助，我们的盾牌。
21 We rejoice because of what he [has done for us]; we trust in him because he [MTY] is holy.
我们的心必靠他欢喜， 因为我们向来倚靠他的圣名。
22 Yahweh, we pray that you will always faithfully love us while we confidently expect you [to do great things for us].
耶和华啊，求你照着我们所仰望你的， 向我们施行慈爱！
