讚美上帝

111 你們要讚美耶和華!
在正直人的大會中,
我要全心全意地稱謝耶和華。
耶和華的作為偉大,
所有喜歡的人都必思想。
祂的作為榮耀威嚴,
祂的公義永遠長存。
祂的奇妙作為令人無法忘懷。
耶和華充滿憐憫和恩惠。
祂賜下糧食給那些敬畏祂的人,
祂永不忘記自己的約。
祂向自己的子民彰顯大能,
把列國的土地賜給他們。
祂憑信實和公正行事,
祂的法則可靠,
是憑信實和正直賜下的,
存到永永遠遠。
祂救贖了自己的子民,
立了永遠的約,
祂的名神聖可畏。
10 智慧始於敬畏耶和華,
遵行祂命令者皆明睿。
祂永遠當受讚美。

Praise to God for His Faithfulness and Justice

(A)I will praise the Lord with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.

(C)Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
His work is (D)honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;
(E)The Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
He has declared to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the [b]heritage of the nations.

The works of His hands are (F)verity[c] and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
(G)They stand fast forever and ever,
And are (H)done in truth and uprightness.
(I)He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever:
(J)Holy and awesome is His name.

10 (K)The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.
