赞美之歌

大卫的赞美诗。

145 我的上帝,我的王啊!
我要尊崇你,
我要永永远远称颂你的名。
我要天天称颂你,
永永远远赞美你的名。
耶和华是伟大的,
当受至高的颂赞,
祂的伟大无法测度。

愿世世代代颂赞你的事迹,
传扬你大能的作为。
我要默想你的荣耀、威严和奇妙作为。
人们要述说你令人敬畏的大能作为,
我也要传扬你的伟大事迹。
他们要诉说你的厚恩,
歌颂你的公义。

耶和华有恩典和怜悯,
不轻易发怒,充满慈爱。
耶和华善待万民,
怜悯祂所造的万物。

10 耶和华啊,
你所创造的万物都要称谢你,
你忠心的子民也要称颂你。
11 他们要述说你国度的荣耀,
讲论你的大能,
12 好让世人知道你大能的作为和你国度的威严与荣耀。
13 你的国度永远长存,
你的统治直到万代。

耶和华信守自己的一切应许,
以慈爱待祂所创造的万物。[a]
14 耶和华扶起跌倒的人,
扶持被重担所压的人。
15 世人都仰赖你,
你按时赐给他们所需的食物。
16 你慷慨满足一切生命的需要。
17 耶和华的作为公义,
祂所行的充满慈爱。
18 耶和华垂顾一切求告祂的人,
一切诚心求告祂的人。
19 祂使敬畏祂的人心愿得偿,
垂听他们的呼求,拯救他们。
20 耶和华保护所有爱祂的人,
毁灭一切恶人。
21 我要开口赞美耶和华,
万物都要称颂祂的圣名,
直到永永远远。

Praising God’s Greatness

A Davidic hymn.

I[a] exalt You, my God the King,
and praise Your name forever and ever.(A)
I will praise You every day;
I will honor Your name forever and ever.(B)

Yahweh is great and is highly praised;(C)
His greatness is unsearchable.(D)
One generation will declare Your works to the next
and will proclaim Your mighty acts.(E)
I[b] will speak of Your splendor and glorious majesty
and[c] Your wonderful works.(F)
They will proclaim the power of Your awe-inspiring acts,
and I will declare Your greatness.[d](G)
They will give a testimony of Your great goodness
and will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.(H)

The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and great in faithful love.(I)
The Lord is good to everyone;(J)
His compassion rests on all He has made.(K)
10 All You have made will thank You, Lord;
the[e] godly will praise You.(L)
11 They will speak of the glory of Your kingdom
and will declare Your might,(M)
12 informing all people of Your mighty acts
and of the glorious splendor of Your[f] kingdom.(N)
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom;
Your rule is for all generations.(O)
The Lord is faithful in all His words
and gracious in all His actions.[g](P)

14 The Lord helps all who fall;
He raises up all who are oppressed.[h](Q)
15 All eyes look to You,
and You give them their food at the proper time.(R)
16 You open Your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.(S)

17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways
and gracious in all His acts.(T)
18 The Lord is near all who call out to Him,
all who call out to Him with integrity.(U)
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him;
He hears their cry for help and saves them.(V)
20 The Lord guards all those who love Him,
but He destroys all the wicked.(W)
21 My mouth will declare Yahweh’s praise;
let every living thing
praise His holy name forever and ever.(X)
