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

113 Praise the Lord!
    You who serve the Lord—praise!
    Praise the Lord’s name!
Let the Lord’s name be blessed
    from now until forever from now!
From sunrise to sunset,
    let the Lord’s name be praised!
The Lord is high over all the nations;
    God’s glory is higher than the skies!

Who could possibly compare to the Lord our God?
    God rules from on high;
    he has to come down to even see heaven and earth!
God lifts up the poor from the dirt
    and raises up the needy from the garbage pile
        to seat them with leaders—
        with the leaders of his own people!
    God nests the once barren woman at home—
        now a joyful mother with children!

Praise the Lord!

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.
