诗篇 135
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
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。
2 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。
3 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。
4 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。
5 我確實知道耶和華是偉大的，
我們的主超越萬神之上。
6 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。
7 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。
8 他把埃及頭生的，
無論人或牲畜都擊殺了。
9 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
New King James Version
Praise to God in Creation and Redemption
135 Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord;
(A)Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord!
2 (B)You who stand in the house of the Lord,
In (C)the courts of the house of our God,
3 Praise the Lord, for (D)the Lord is good;
Sing praises to His name, (E)for it is pleasant.
4 For (F)the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His [a]special treasure.
5 For I know that (G)the Lord is great,
And our Lord is above all gods.
6 (H)Whatever the Lord pleases He does,
In heaven and in earth,
In the seas and in all deep places.
7 (I)He causes the [b]vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
(J)He makes lightning for the rain;
He brings the wind out of His (K)treasuries.
8 (L)He [c]destroyed the firstborn of Egypt,
[d]Both of man and beast.
9 (M)He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt,
(N)Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 (O)He defeated many nations
And slew mighty kings—
11 Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
And (P)all the kingdoms of Canaan—
12 (Q)And gave their land as a [e]heritage,
A heritage to Israel His people.
13 (R)Your name, O Lord, endures forever,
Your fame, O Lord, throughout all generations.
14 (S)For the Lord will judge His people,
And He will have compassion on His servants.
15 (T)The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
16 They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
17 They have ears, but they do not hear;
Nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.
19 (U)Bless the Lord, O house of Israel!
Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron!
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi!
You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!
21 Blessed be the Lord (V)out of Zion,
Who dwells in Jerusalem!
Praise the Lord!
