讚美之歌

大衛的讚美詩。

145 我的上帝,我的王啊!
我要尊崇你,
我要永永遠遠稱頌你的名。
我要天天稱頌你,
永永遠遠讚美你的名。
耶和華是偉大的,
當受至高的頌讚,
祂的偉大無法測度。

願世世代代頌讚你的事蹟,
傳揚你大能的作為。
我要默想你的榮耀、威嚴和奇妙作為。
人們要述說你令人敬畏的大能作為,
我也要傳揚你的偉大事蹟。
他們要訴說你的厚恩,
歌頌你的公義。

耶和華有恩典和憐憫,
不輕易發怒,充滿慈愛。
耶和華善待萬民,
憐憫祂所造的萬物。

10 耶和華啊,
你所創造的萬物都要稱謝你,
你忠心的子民也要稱頌你。
11 他們要述說你國度的榮耀,
講論你的大能,
12 好讓世人知道你大能的作為和你國度的威嚴與榮耀。
13 你的國度永遠長存,
你的統治直到萬代。

耶和華信守自己的一切應許,
以慈愛待祂所創造的萬物。[a]
14 耶和華扶起跌倒的人,
扶持被重擔所壓的人。
15 世人都仰賴你,
你按時賜給他們所需的食物。
16 你慷慨滿足一切生命的需要。
17 耶和華的作為公義,
祂所行的充滿慈愛。
18 耶和華垂顧一切求告祂的人,
一切誠心求告祂的人。
19 祂使敬畏祂的人心願得償,
垂聽他們的呼求,拯救他們。
20 耶和華保護所有愛祂的人,
毀滅一切惡人。
21 我要開口讚美耶和華,
萬物都要稱頌祂的聖名,
直到永永遠遠。

A Song of God’s Majesty and Love

(A)A Praise of David.

145 I will [a]extol You, my God, O King;
And I will bless Your name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless You,
And I will praise Your name forever and ever.
(B)Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
And (C)His greatness is [b]unsearchable.

(D)One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.
[c]I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty,
And [d]on Your wondrous works.
Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts,
And I will declare Your greatness.
They shall [e]utter the memory of Your great goodness,
And shall sing of Your righteousness.

(E)The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy.
(F)The Lord is good to all,
And His tender mercies are over all His works.

10 (G)All Your works shall praise You, O Lord,
And Your saints shall bless You.
11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom,
And talk of Your power,
12 To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts,
And the glorious majesty of His kingdom.
13 (H)Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And Your dominion endures throughout all [f]generations.

14 The Lord upholds all who fall,
And (I)raises up all who are bowed down.
15 (J)The eyes of all look expectantly to You,
And (K)You give them their food in due season.
16 You open Your hand
(L)And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways,
Gracious in all His works.
18 (M)The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him (N)in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also will hear their cry and save them.
20 (O)The Lord preserves all who love Him,
But all the wicked He will destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,
And all flesh shall bless His holy name
Forever and ever.
