< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
我的靈魂,您要讚美上主,
2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.
在我一生,我要讚美上主,一息尚存,我要歌頌天主。
3 Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help.
您們不要全心依賴王侯大臣,也不要依賴不能施救的世人;
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
他的氣息一斷,就歸於灰土,他的一切計劃立刻化為烏有。
5 Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope [is] in the LORD his God:
凡是以雅各伯的天主為自己扶助的人,上主天主為自己希望的,是有福的人。
6 Who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them: who keepeth truth for ever:
上主創造了上天與下土,海洋和其中的所有一切。他持守信實,一直到永久。
7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed: who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
上主為被欺的人作辯護,上主給饑餓的人賜食物,上主使被囚的人得自由。
8 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
上主開啟瞎子的眼睛,上主使傴僂的人直身,上主愛慕那正義的人。
9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
上主對旅客加以保護,上主支持孤兒和寡婦,上主迷惑惡人的道路。
10 The LORD will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
願上主永永遠遠為君王!熙雍,您的天主萬壽無疆!
