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!

Psalm 146

The God of Compassion

Hallelujah!
My soul, praise the Lord.(A)
I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing to my God as long as I live.(B)

Do not trust in nobles,
in man, who cannot save.(C)
When his breath[a] leaves him,
he returns to the ground;
on that day his plans die.(D)

Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,(E)
the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea and everything in them.(F)
He remains faithful forever,(G)
executing justice for the exploited
and giving food to the hungry.(H)
The Lord frees prisoners.(I)
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.(J)
The Lord raises up those who are oppressed.[b](K)
The Lord loves the righteous.(L)
The Lord protects foreigners
and helps the fatherless and the widow,(M)
but He frustrates the ways of the wicked.(N)

10 The Lord reigns forever;
Zion, your God reigns for all generations.(O)
Hallelujah!
