頌讚 神的權能與揀選

135 你們要讚美耶和華,

你們要讚美耶和華的名;

耶和華的眾僕人哪!你們都要讚美他。

在耶和華殿中侍候的,

在我們 神殿的院裡侍候的,

你們要讚美他。

你們要讚美耶和華,

因耶和華本是良善的;

你們要歌頌他的名,

因為他的名是美好的。

因為耶和華揀選了雅各歸他自己,

揀選了以色列作他自己的產業。

我確實知道耶和華是偉大的,

我們的主超越萬神之上。

在天上,在地上,在海中,在一切深處,

耶和華喜歡甚麼,就作甚麼。

他使雲霧從地極上升,

發出閃電隨雨而來,

又從他的府庫吹出風來。

他把埃及頭生的,

無論人或牲畜都擊殺了。

埃及啊!他在你當中施行神蹟和奇事,

懲罰法老和他所有的臣僕。

10 他擊殺了多國的民,

殺戮了強悍的王,

11 就是亞摩利王西宏、

巴珊王噩,

和迦南列國的王。

12 他把他們的地

賜給了自己的子民以色列作產業。

13 耶和華啊!你的名存到永遠;

耶和華啊!你可記念的名留存萬代。

14 因為耶和華要為自己的子民伸冤,

他要憐憫自己的僕人。

15 列國的偶像是金的銀的,

是人手所做的。

16 有口卻不能說話,

有眼卻不能看,

17 有耳卻不能聽,

口中也沒有氣息。

18 做偶像的必和它們一樣,

所有倚靠它們的也必這樣。

19 以色列家啊!你們要稱頌耶和華;

亞倫家啊!你們要稱頌耶和華;

20 利未家啊!你們要稱頌耶和華;

敬畏耶和華的,你們要稱頌耶和華。

21 從錫安來的耶和華,

就是住在耶路撒冷的,是應當稱頌的。

你們要讚美耶和華。

Psalm 135

135 Praise the Lord!
    Praise the Lord’s name!
    All you who serve the Lord, praise God!
All you who stand in the Lord’s house—
        who stand in the courtyards of our God’s temple—
    praise the Lord, because the Lord is good!
        Sing praises to God’s name because it is beautiful!
Because the Lord chose Jacob as his own,
    God chose Israel as his treasured possession.

Yes, I know for certain that the Lord is great—
    I know our Lord is greater than all other gods.
The Lord can do whatever he wants
    in heaven or on earth,
    in the seas and in every ocean depth.
God forms clouds at the far corners of the earth.
    God makes lightning for the rain.
    God releases the wind from its storeroom.
    God struck down the Egyptians’ oldest offspring—
        both human and animal!
God sent signs and wonders into the very center of Egypt—
    against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 God struck down many nations
    and killed mighty kings:
11 Sihon the Amorite king,
    Og the king of Bashan,
    and all the Canaanite kings.
12 Then God handed their land over as an inheritance—
    as an inheritance to Israel, his own people.

13 Lord, your name is forever!
    Lord, your fame extends from one generation to the next!
14 The Lord gives justice to his people
    and has compassion on those who serve him.

15 The nations’ idols are just silver and gold—
    things made by human hands.
16 They have mouths, but they can’t speak.
    They have eyes, but they can’t see.
17 They have ears, but they can’t listen.
    No, there’s no breath in their lungs!
18 Let the people who made these idols
    and all who trust in them
    become just like them!

19 House of Israel, bless the Lord!
    House of Aaron, bless the Lord!
20     House of Levi, bless the Lord!
    You who honor the Lord, bless the Lord!
21 Bless the Lord from Zion—
    bless the one who lives in Jerusalem!

Praise the Lord!
