诗篇 145
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
稱頌 神的偉大與慈愛
大衛的讚美詩。
145 我的 神，我的王啊！我要尊崇你，（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）
我要永永遠遠稱頌你的名。
2 我要天天稱頌你，
我要永永遠遠讚美你的名。
3 耶和華是至大的，配受極大的讚美，
他的偉大無法測度。
4 世世代代的人都要頌讚你的作為，
他們要傳揚你大能的作為。
5 他們要講述你威嚴的尊榮，
我也要默想你奇妙的作為。
6 他們要述說你所行可畏的事的能力，
我也要宣揚你的偉大。
7 他們要傳述你可記念、至善的名，
也要歌唱你的公義。
8 耶和華有恩典有憐憫，
不輕易發怒，大有慈愛。
9 耶和華善待萬有，
他的憐憫臨到他一切所造的。
10 耶和華啊！你一切所造的都要稱謝你，
你的聖民也要稱頌你。
11 他們要講論你國的榮耀，
也要述說你大能的作為。
12 好使世人知道你大能的作為，
和你國威嚴的尊榮。
13 你的國是永遠的國，
你的王權存到萬代（七十士譯本加上「主在他的話是信實的，在他一切的作為都是聖潔的」﹔死海古卷則有「 神在他的話是信實的，在他一切的作為都是慈愛的」和「耶和華是應當稱頌的，應當永遠稱頌他的名」等句）。
14 跌倒的，耶和華都扶持他們；
被壓迫的，他都扶他們起來。
15 萬人的眼睛都仰望你，
你按時把糧食賜給他們。
16 你把手張開，
使所有生物都隨願得到飽足。
17 耶和華在他一切所行的事上，都是公義的，
他對他一切所造的，都存著慈愛的心。
18 凡是求告耶和華的，耶和華都和他們接近，
就是和所有真誠求告他的人接近。
19 敬畏他的，他必成就他們的心願，
也必聽他們的呼求，拯救他們。
20 耶和華保護所有愛他的人，
卻要消滅所有惡人。
21 我的口要說讚美耶和華的話；
願所有的人都永永遠遠稱頌他的聖名。
