诗篇 103
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
稱頌 神的恩典與慈愛
大衛的詩。
103 我的心哪！你要稱頌耶和華；
在我裡面的一切，都要稱頌他的聖名。（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）
2 我的心哪！你要稱頌耶和華；
不可忘記他的一切恩惠。
3 他赦免你的一切罪孽，
醫治你的一切疾病；
4 他救贖你的性命脫離死亡，
以慈愛和憐憫作你的冠冕；
5 他以福樂使你的心願滿足，
以致你好像鷹一般恢復青春的活力。
6 耶和華施行公義，
為所有受欺壓的人主持公道。
7 他向摩西指示自己的道路，
向以色列人顯明自己的作為。
8 耶和華有憐憫，有恩典，
不輕易發怒，並且有豐盛的慈愛。
9 他不長久責備，
也不永遠懷怒。
10 他沒有按著我們的罪過待我們，
也沒有照著我們的罪孽報應我們。
11 天離地有多高，
他的慈愛向敬畏他的人也有多大。
12 東離西有多遠，
他使我們的過犯離我們也有多遠。
13 父親怎樣憐恤兒子，
耶和華也照樣憐恤敬畏他的人；
14 因為他知道我們的本體，
記得我們不過是塵土。
15 至於世人，他的年日好像草一般；
他又像野地繁茂的花。
16 經風一吹，就歸無有；
他原來的地方再不認識他。
17 但從亙古到永遠，耶和華的慈愛臨到敬畏他的人；
他的公義也歸於他們的子子孫孫，
18 就是那些謹守他的約，
記住他的訓詞，並且遵行的人。
19 耶和華在天上立定寶座，
他的王權統管萬有。
20 你們作他天使的，
就是那些大有能力，行他所吩咐，
以及聽從他命令的，都要稱頌耶和華。
21 你們作他的眾軍，
作他的僕役，遵行他旨意的，
都要稱頌耶和華。
22 你們一切被他所造的，
在他統治的各處，都要稱頌耶和華。
我的心哪，你要稱頌耶和華。
Psalm 103
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 103[a]
Praise of Divine Goodness
1 Of David.
I
Bless the Lord, my soul;
all my being, bless his holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, my soul;
and do not forget all his gifts,
3 Who pardons all your sins,
and heals all your ills,
4 Who redeems your life from the pit,(A)
and crowns you with mercy and compassion,
5 Who fills your days with good things,
so your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.[b]
II
6 The Lord does righteous deeds,
brings justice to all the oppressed.(B)
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
to the Israelites his deeds.
8 Merciful and gracious is the Lord,
slow to anger, abounding in mercy.(C)
9 He will not always accuse,
and nurses no lasting anger;
10 He has not dealt with us as our sins merit,
nor requited us as our wrongs deserve.
III
11 For as the heavens tower over the earth,
so his mercy towers over those who fear him.(D)
12 As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our sins from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
14 For he knows how we are formed,
remembers that we are dust.(E)
15 As for man, his days are like the grass;
he blossoms like a flower in the field.(F)
16 A wind sweeps over it and it is gone;
its place knows it no more.
17 But the Lord’s mercy is from age to age,
toward those who fear him.
His salvation is for the children’s children
18 of those who keep his covenant,
and remember to carry out his precepts.
IV
19 The Lord has set his throne in heaven;
his dominion extends over all.
20 Bless the Lord, all you his angels,(G)
mighty in strength, acting at his behest,
obedient to his command.
21 Bless the Lord, all you his hosts,
his ministers who carry out his will.
22 Bless the Lord, all his creatures,
everywhere in his domain.
Bless the Lord, my soul!
Footnotes
- Psalm 103 The speaker in this hymn begins by praising God for personal benefits (Ps 103:1–5), then moves on to God’s mercy toward all the people (Ps 103:6–18). Even sin cannot destroy that mercy (Ps 103:11–13), for the eternal God is well aware of the people’s human fragility (Ps 103:14–18). The psalmist invites the heavenly beings to join in praise (Ps 103:19–22).
- 103:5 Your youth is renewed like the eagle’s: because of the eagle’s long life it was a symbol of perennial youth and vigor, cf. Is 40:31.
