赞美上帝的帮助

146 你们要赞美耶和华!
我的心啊,你要赞美耶和华。
我要一生赞美耶和华,
我一息尚存都要赞美祂。
你们不要倚靠权贵,
不要倚靠世人,
他们救不了你们。
他们气息一断,便归回尘土,
他们的打算转眼成空。
蒙雅各的上帝相助、仰望上帝耶和华的人有福了!
耶和华创造了天、地、海和其中的万物,
祂永远信实可靠。
祂为受压制的人申冤,
赐食物给饥饿的人,
使被囚者得自由。
耶和华叫瞎子看见,
扶持被重担所压的人,
祂喜爱义人。
耶和华保护寄居异地的人,
看顾孤儿寡妇,
祂挫败恶人的阴谋诡计。
10 耶和华永远掌权。
锡安啊,
你的上帝要世世代代做王。
你们要赞美耶和华!

I Will Praise Yahweh Throughout My Life

146 [a]Praise Yah!
(A)Praise Yahweh, O my soul!
I will praise Yahweh (B)throughout my life;
I will (C)sing praises to my God while I have my being.
(D)Do not trust in nobles,
In merely a son of (E)man, in whom there is (F)no salvation.
His (G)spirit departs, he (H)returns to [b]the earth;
In that very day his (I)plans perish.
How (J)blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose (K)hope is in Yahweh his God,
Who (L)made heaven and earth,
The (M)sea and all that is in them;
Who (N)keeps truth forever;
Who (O)does justice for the oppressed;
Who (P)gives food to the hungry.
Yahweh (Q)sets the prisoners free.

Yahweh (R)opens the eyes of the blind;
Yahweh (S)raises up those who are bowed down;
Yahweh (T)loves the righteous;
Yahweh (U)keeps the sojourners;
He [c](V)helps up the orphan and the widow,
But He bends (W)the way of the wicked.
10 Yahweh will (X)reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, [d]from generation to generation.
[e]Praise Yah!
