赞美上帝

111 你们要赞美耶和华!
在正直人的大会中,
我要全心全意地称谢耶和华。
耶和华的作为伟大,
所有喜欢的人都必思想。
祂的作为荣耀威严,
祂的公义永远长存。
祂的奇妙作为令人无法忘怀。
耶和华充满怜悯和恩惠。
祂赐下粮食给那些敬畏祂的人,
祂永不忘记自己的约。
祂向自己的子民彰显大能,
把列国的土地赐给他们。
祂凭信实和公正行事,
祂的法则可靠,
是凭信实和正直赐下的,
存到永永远远。
祂救赎了自己的子民,
立了永远的约,
祂的名神圣可畏。
10 智慧始于敬畏耶和华,
遵行祂命令者皆明睿。
祂永远当受赞美。

Psalm 111[a]

Praise the Lord.[b]

I will extol the Lord(A) with all my heart(B)
    in the council(C) of the upright and in the assembly.(D)

Great are the works(E) of the Lord;
    they are pondered by all(F) who delight in them.
Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
    and his righteousness endures(G) forever.
He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
    the Lord is gracious and compassionate.(H)
He provides food(I) for those who fear him;(J)
    he remembers his covenant(K) forever.

He has shown his people the power of his works,(L)
    giving them the lands of other nations.(M)
The works of his hands(N) are faithful and just;
    all his precepts are trustworthy.(O)
They are established for ever(P) and ever,
    enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
He provided redemption(Q) for his people;
    he ordained his covenant forever—
    holy and awesome(R) is his name.

10 The fear of the Lord(S) is the beginning of wisdom;(T)
    all who follow his precepts have good understanding.(U)
    To him belongs eternal praise.(V)

111 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
