诗篇 104
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
稱頌 神的創造與供應
104 我的心哪！你要稱頌耶和華；
耶和華我的 神啊！你真偉大；
你以尊榮和威嚴為衣服。
2 你披上亮光好像披上外袍；
展開諸天好像鋪張帳幔。
3 你在水上立起你樓閣的棟梁；
你以雲彩為戰車；
乘駕風的翅膀而行。
4 你用風作你的使者，
用火燄作你的僕役。
5 你把大地堅立在根基上，
使地永永遠遠不動搖。
6 你用深水像衣服一般覆蓋大地，
使眾水高過群山。
7 因你的斥責，水就退去；
因你的雷聲，水就奔逃。
8 眾水流經群山，向下流往眾谷，
流到你為它們指定的地方。
9 你定了界限，使眾水不能越過；
它們不再轉回掩蓋大地。
10 你使泉源在山谷中湧流，
流經群山中間。
11 使野地所有的走獸有水喝，
野驢得以解渴。
12 天上的飛鳥在水邊住宿，
在樹枝上鳴叫。
13 你從自己的樓閣中澆灌群山，
因你所作的事的果效，大地就豐足。
14 你為了牲畜使青草滋生，
為了人的需用使蔬菜生長，
使糧食從地裡生出；
15 又有酒使人心歡喜，
有油使人容光煥發，
有糧加添人的心力。
16 耶和華的樹，就是他所栽種的黎巴嫩香柏樹，
都得到了充分的灌溉。
17 雀鳥在上面築巢；
至於鶴，松樹是牠的家。
18 高山是野山羊的住所；
巖石是石貛藏身的地方。
19 你造月亮為定節令；
太陽知道何時沉落。
20 你安設黑暗，有了晚上，
林中的百獸就都爬出來。
21 少壯獅子吼叫覓食，
要尋求從 神而來的食物。
22 太陽升起的時候，
牠們就躲避，
回到自己的洞穴躺臥。
23 人出去作工，
勞碌直到晚上。
24 耶和華啊！你所造的真是眾多。
它們都是你用智慧造成的；
全地充滿你所造的東西。
25 那裡有海，又大又廣；
海裡有無數的活物，
大小活物都有。
26 那裡有船隻往來航行，
有你所造的大魚，
在海裡嬉戲。
27 這些活物都仰望你，
仰望你按時賜給牠們食物。
28 你賜給牠們，牠們就拾取；
你張開你的手，牠們就飽享美物。
29 你向牠們掩面，牠們就驚慌；
你收回牠們的氣息，牠們就死亡，歸回塵土。
30 你發出你的靈，萬物就被造成；
你也使地面更換一新。
31 願耶和華的榮耀存到永遠；
願耶和華喜悅他自己所作的。
32 他注視大地，地就震動；
他觸摸群山，山就冒煙。
33 我一生要向耶和華歌唱；
我還在世的時候，我要向我的 神歌頌。
34 願我的默想蒙他喜悅；
我要因耶和華歡喜。
35 願罪人從世上滅絕，
也不再有惡人存在。
我的心哪！你要稱頌耶和華。
你們要讚美耶和華。
Psalm 104
Common English Bible
Psalm 104
104 Let my whole being[a] bless the Lord!
Lord my God, how fantastic you are!
You are clothed in glory and grandeur!
2 You wear light like a robe;
you open the skies like a curtain.
3 You build your lofty house on the waters;
you make the clouds your chariot,
going around on the wings of the wind.
4 You make the winds your messengers;
you make fire and flame your ministers.
5 You established the earth on its foundations
so that it will never ever fall.
6 You covered it with the watery deep like a piece of clothing;
the waters were higher than the mountains!
7 But at your rebuke they ran away;
they fled in fear at the sound of your thunder.
8 They flowed over the mountains,
streaming down the valleys
to the place you established for them.
9 You set a boundary they cannot cross
so they’ll never again cover the earth.
10 You put gushing springs into dry riverbeds.
They flow between the mountains,
11 providing water for every wild animal—
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Overhead, the birds in the sky make their home,
chirping loudly in the trees.
13 From your lofty house, you water the mountains.
The earth is filled full by the fruit of what you’ve done.
14 You make grass grow for cattle;
you make plants for human farming
in order to get food from the ground,
15 and wine, which cheers people’s hearts,
along with oil, which makes the face shine,
and bread, which sustains the human heart.
16 The Lord’s trees are well watered—
the cedars of Lebanon, which God planted,
17 where the birds make their nests,
where the stork has a home in the cypresses.
18 The high mountains belong to the mountain goats;
the ridges are the refuge of badgers.
19 God made the moon for the seasons,
and the sun too, which knows when to set.
20 You bring on the darkness and it is night,
when every forest animal prowls.
21 The young lions roar for their prey,
seeking their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they gather together
and lie down in their dens.
23 Then people go off to their work,
to do their work until evening.
24 Lord, you have done so many things!
You made them all so wisely!
The earth is full of your creations!
25 And then there’s the sea, wide and deep,
with its countless creatures—
living things both small and large.
26 There go the ships on it,
and Leviathan, which you made, plays in it!
27 All your creations wait for you
to give them their food on time.
28 When you give it to them, they gather it up;
when you open your hand, they are filled completely full!
29 But when you hide your face, they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to dust.
30 When you let loose your breath, they are created,
and you make the surface of the ground brand-new again.
31 Let the Lord’s glory last forever!
Let the Lord rejoice in all he has made!
32 He has only to look at the earth, and it shakes.
God just touches the mountains, and they erupt in smoke.
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I’m still alive.
34 Let my praise be pleasing to him;
I’m rejoicing in the Lord!
35 Let sinners be wiped clean from the earth;
let the wicked be no more.
But let my whole being bless the Lord!
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 104
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
Psalm 104
God the Creator and Provider
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul.
O Lord my God, you are very great.
You are clothed with honour and majesty,
2 wrapped in light as with a garment.
You stretch out the heavens like a tent,
3 you set the beams of your[a] chambers on the waters,
you make the clouds your[b] chariot,
you ride on the wings of the wind,
4 you make the winds your[c] messengers,
fire and flame your[d] ministers.
5 You set the earth on its foundations,
so that it shall never be shaken.
6 You cover it with the deep as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.
7 At your rebuke they flee;
at the sound of your thunder they take to flight.
8 They rose up to the mountains, ran down to the valleys
to the place that you appointed for them.
9 You set a boundary that they may not pass,
so that they might not again cover the earth.
10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
they flow between the hills,
11 giving drink to every wild animal;
the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 By the streams[e] the birds of the air have their habitation;
they sing among the branches.
13 From your lofty abode you water the mountains;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.
14 You cause the grass to grow for the cattle,
and plants for people to use,[f]
to bring forth food from the earth,
15 and wine to gladden the human heart,
oil to make the face shine,
and bread to strengthen the human heart.
16 The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly,
the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
17 In them the birds build their nests;
the stork has its home in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats;
the rocks are a refuge for the coneys.
19 You have made the moon to mark the seasons;
the sun knows its time for setting.
20 You make darkness, and it is night,
when all the animals of the forest come creeping out.
21 The young lions roar for their prey,
seeking their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they withdraw
and lie down in their dens.
23 People go out to their work
and to their labour until the evening.
24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide,
creeping things innumerable are there,
living things both small and great.
26 There go the ships,
and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.
27 These all look to you
to give them their food in due season;
28 when you give to them, they gather it up;
when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you hide your face, they are dismayed;
when you take away their breath, they die
and return to their dust.
30 When you send forth your spirit,[g] they are created;
and you renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works—
32 who looks on the earth and it trembles,
who touches the mountains and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Praise the Lord!
