赞美上帝的美善

113 你们要赞美耶和华!
耶和华的仆人啊,
你们要赞美,赞美耶和华。
愿耶和华的名受称颂,
从现在直到永远!
从日出之地到日落之处,
普世都应当赞美耶和华。
耶和华高居万国之上,
祂的荣耀高过诸天。
谁能与我们的上帝耶和华相比?
祂坐在至高之处,
俯视诸天和大地。
祂从灰尘中提拔贫穷人,
从粪堆中擢升困苦人,
使他们与王子同坐,
与本国的王子同坐。
祂赐给不育的妇人儿女,
使她们成为快乐的母亲。
你们要赞美耶和华!

Psalm 113

Praise the Lord.[a](A)

Praise the Lord, you his servants;(B)
    praise the name of the Lord.
Let the name of the Lord be praised,(C)
    both now and forevermore.(D)
From the rising of the sun(E) to the place where it sets,
    the name of the Lord is to be praised.

The Lord is exalted(F) over all the nations,
    his glory above the heavens.(G)
Who is like the Lord our God,(H)
    the One who sits enthroned(I) on high,(J)
who stoops down to look(K)
    on the heavens and the earth?

He raises the poor(L) from the dust
    and lifts the needy(M) from the ash heap;
he seats them(N) with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
He settles the childless(O) woman in her home
    as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord.

  1. Psalm 113:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah; also in verse 9

From the Rising of the Sun

Psalm 113

Halleluyah! Praise, O servants of Adonai,
praise the Name of Adonai.
Blessed be the Name of Adonai
from now and forever.
From the rising of the sun to its going down
the Name of Adonai is to be praised.
Adonai is high above all nations,
His glory is above the heavens.
Who is like Adonai our God,
    enthroned on high,
who brings Himself down to look
    upon heaven and upon earth?
He raises the poor from the dust,
    lifts up the needy out of the dunghill,
to seat him with princes,
    with the princes of His people.
He settles the barren woman in her home
    as a joyful mother of children.
Halleluyah!
