诗篇 105
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
上帝和祂的子民(A)
105 你们要称谢耶和华，呼求祂的名，
在列邦传扬祂的作为。
2 要歌颂、赞美祂，
述说祂一切奇妙的作为。
3 要以祂的圣名为荣，
愿寻求耶和华的人都欢欣。
4 要寻求耶和华和祂的能力，
时常来到祂面前。
5-6 祂仆人亚伯拉罕的后裔，
祂所拣选的雅各的子孙啊，
要记住祂所行的神迹奇事和祂口中的判词。
7 祂是我们的上帝耶和华，
祂在普天下施行审判。
8 祂永远记得祂的约，
历经千代也不忘祂的应许，
9 就是祂与亚伯拉罕所立的约，
向以撒所起的誓。
10 祂把这约定为律例赐给雅各，
定为永远的约赐给以色列。
11 祂说：“我必把迦南赐给你，
作为你的产业。”
12 那时他们人丁稀少，
在当地寄居。
13 他们在异国他乡流离飘零。
14 耶和华不容人压迫他们，
还为他们的缘故责备君王，
15 说：“不可难为我膏立的人，
也不可伤害我的先知。”
16 祂在那里降下饥荒，
断绝一切食物的供应。
17 祂派一个人率先前往，
这人就是被卖为奴隶的约瑟。
18 他被戴上脚镣，套上枷锁，
19 直到后来他的预言应验，
耶和华的话试炼了他。
20 埃及王下令释放他，
百姓的首领给他自由，
21 派他执掌朝政，
管理国中的一切，
22 有权柄管束王的大臣，
将智慧传授王的长老。
23 以色列来到埃及，
寄居在含地。
24 耶和华使祂的子民生养众多，
比他们的仇敌还要强盛。
25 祂使仇敌憎恨他们，
用诡计虐待他们。
26 祂派遣祂的仆人摩西和祂拣选的亚伦，
27 在埃及行神迹，
在含地行奇事。
28 祂降下黑暗，使黑暗笼罩那里；
他们没有违背祂的话。
29 祂使埃及的水变成血，
鱼都死去；
30 又使国中到处是青蛙，
王宫禁院也不能幸免。
31 祂一发命令，
苍蝇蜂拥而至，虱子遍满全境。
32 祂使雨变成冰雹，
遍地电光闪闪。
33 祂击倒他们的葡萄树和无花果树，
摧毁他们境内的树木。
34 祂一发声，
就飞来无数蝗虫和蚂蚱，
35 吃尽他们土地上的植物，
吃尽他们田间的出产。
36 祂又击杀他们境内所有的长子，
就是他们年轻力壮时生的长子。
37 祂带领以色列人携金带银地离开埃及，
各支派中无人畏缩。
38 埃及人惧怕他们，
乐见他们离去。
39 祂铺展云彩为他们遮荫，
晚上用火给他们照明。
40 他们祈求，
祂就赐下鹌鹑，降下天粮，
叫他们饱足。
41 祂使磐石裂开、涌出水来，
在干旱之地奔流成河。
42 因为祂没有忘记祂赐给仆人亚伯拉罕的神圣应许。
43 祂带领自己的子民欢然离去，
祂所拣选的百姓欢唱着前行。
44 祂把列国的土地赐给他们，
使他们获得别人的劳动成果。
45 祂这样做是要使他们持守祂的命令，
遵行祂的律法。
你们要赞美耶和华！
Psalm 105
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 105[a]
God’s Fidelity to the Promise
I
1 Give thanks to the Lord, invoke his name;(A)
make known among the peoples his deeds!(B)
2 Sing praise to him, play music;
proclaim all his wondrous deeds!
3 Glory in his holy name;
let hearts that seek the Lord rejoice!
4 Seek out the Lord and his might;
constantly seek his face.(C)
5 Recall the wondrous deeds he has done,
his wonders and words of judgment,
6 You descendants of Abraham his servant,
offspring of Jacob the chosen one!
II
7 He the Lord, is our God
whose judgments reach through all the earth.
8 He remembers forever his covenant,
the word he commanded for a thousand generations,
9 Which he made with Abraham,
and swore to Isaac,(D)
10 And ratified in a statute for Jacob,
an everlasting covenant for Israel:
11 “To you I give the land of Canaan,
your own allotted inheritance.”(E)
III
12 When they were few in number,(F)
a handful, and strangers there,
13 Wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
14 He let no one oppress them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:[b]
15 [c]“Do not touch my anointed ones,
to my prophets do no harm.”
IV
16 Then he called down a famine on the land,
destroyed the grain that sustained them.[d](G)
17 He had sent a man ahead of them,
Joseph, sold as a slave.(H)
18 They shackled his feet with chains;
collared his neck in iron,(I)
19 Till his prediction came to pass,
and the word of the Lord proved him true.(J)
20 The king sent and released him;
the ruler of peoples set him free.(K)
21 He made him lord over his household,
ruler over all his possessions,(L)
22 To instruct his princes as he desired,
to teach his elders wisdom.
V
23 Then Israel entered Egypt;(M)
Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.[e]
24 God greatly increased his people,
made them more numerous than their foes.(N)
25 He turned their hearts to hate his people,
to treat his servants deceitfully.(O)
26 He sent his servant Moses,
and Aaron whom he had chosen.(P)
27 [f]They worked his signs in Egypt(Q)
and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness and it grew dark,
but they rebelled against his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood
and killed their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs,
even the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke and there came swarms of flies,
gnats through all their country.
32 For rain he gave them hail,
flashes of lightning throughout their land.
33 He struck down their vines and fig trees,
shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke and the locusts came,
grasshoppers without number.(R)
35 They devoured every plant in the land;
they devoured the crops of their fields.
36 He struck down every firstborn in the land,
the first fruits of all their vigor.
37 He brought his people out,
laden with silver and gold;(S)
no one among the tribes stumbled.
38 Egypt rejoiced when they left,
for fear had seized them.
VI
39 He spread a cloud out as a cover,
and made a fire to light up the night.(T)
40 They asked and he brought them quail;
with bread from heaven he filled them.(U)
41 He split the rock and water gushed forth;
it flowed through the desert like a river.(V)
42 For he remembered his sacred promise
to Abraham his servant.
43 He brought his people out with joy,
his chosen ones with shouts of triumph.
44 He gave them the lands of the nations,
they took possession of the wealth of the peoples,(W)
45 That they might keep his statutes
and observe his teachings.(X)
Hallelujah!
Footnotes
- Psalm 105 A hymn to God who promised the land of Canaan to the holy people, cf. Ps 78; 106; 136. Israel is invited to praise and seek the presence of God (Ps 105:1–6), who is faithful to the promise of land to the ancestors (Ps 105:7–11). In every phase of the national story—the ancestors in the land of Canaan (Ps 105:12–15), Joseph in Egypt (Ps 105:16–22), Israel in Egypt (Ps 105:23–38), Israel in the desert on the way to Canaan (Ps 105:39–45)—God remained faithful, reiterating the promise of the land to successive servants.
- 105:14 Kings: Pharaoh and Abimelech of Gerar, cf. Gn 12:17; 20:6–7.
- 105:15 My anointed ones…my prophets: the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who were “anointed” in the sense of being consecrated and recipients of God’s revelation.
- 105:16 The grain that sustained them: lit., every “staff of bread.”
- 105:23, 27 The land of Ham: a synonym for Egypt, cf. Gn 10:6.
- 105:27–38 This Psalm and Ps 78:43–51 have an account of the plagues differing in number or in order from Ex 7:14–12:30. Several versions of the exodus story were current.
