诗篇 145
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
称颂 神的伟大与慈爱
大卫的赞美诗。
145 我的 神，我的王啊！我要尊崇你，（本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题）
我要永永远远称颂你的名。
2 我要天天称颂你，
我要永永远远赞美你的名。
3 耶和华是至大的，配受极大的赞美，
他的伟大无法测度。
4 世世代代的人都要颂赞你的作为，
他们要传扬你大能的作为。
5 他们要讲述你威严的尊荣，
我也要默想你奇妙的作为。
6 他们要述说你所行可畏的事的能力，
我也要宣扬你的伟大。
7 他们要传述你可记念、至善的名，
也要歌唱你的公义。
8 耶和华有恩典有怜悯，
不轻易发怒，大有慈爱。
9 耶和华善待万有，
他的怜悯临到他一切所造的。
10 耶和华啊！你一切所造的都要称谢你，
你的圣民也要称颂你。
11 他们要讲论你国的荣耀，
也要述说你大能的作为。
12 好使世人知道你大能的作为，
和你国威严的尊荣。
13 你的国是永远的国，
你的王权存到万代（七十士译本加上「主在他的话是信实的，在他一切的作为都是圣洁的」﹔死海古卷则有「 神在他的话是信实的，在他一切的作为都是慈爱的」和「耶和华是应当称颂的，应当永远称颂他的名」等句）。
14 跌倒的，耶和华都扶持他们；
被压迫的，他都扶他们起来。
15 万人的眼睛都仰望你，
你按时把粮食赐给他们。
16 你把手张开，
使所有生物都随愿得到饱足。
17 耶和华在他一切所行的事上，都是公义的，
他对他一切所造的，都存着慈爱的心。
18 凡是求告耶和华的，耶和华都和他们接近，
就是和所有真诚求告他的人接近。
19 敬畏他的，他必成就他们的心愿，
也必听他们的呼求，拯救他们。
20 耶和华保护所有爱他的人，
却要消灭所有恶人。
21 我的口要说赞美耶和华的话；
愿所有的人都永永远远称颂他的圣名。

4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
8 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.
11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
