要歌頌和倚靠 神的權能

33 義人哪!你們要靠著耶和華歡呼;

正直人讚美主是合宜的。

你們要彈琴稱謝耶和華,

用十弦瑟歌頌他。

你們要向他唱新歌,

在歡呼聲中巧妙地彈奏。

因為耶和華的話是正直的,

他的一切作為都是誠實的。

耶和華喜愛公義和公正,

全地充滿耶和華的慈愛。

諸天藉著耶和華的話而造,

天上的萬象藉著他口中的氣而成。

他把海水聚集成壘(“成壘”或譯:“在皮袋裡”),

把深海安放在庫房中。

願全地都敬畏耶和華,

願世上的居民都懼怕他。

因為他說有,就有;

命立,就立。

10 耶和華破壞列國的謀略,

使萬民的計劃挫敗。

11 耶和華的謀略永遠立定,

他心中的計劃萬代長存。

12 以耶和華為 神的,那國是有福的;

耶和華揀選作自己產業的,那民是有福的。

13 耶和華從天上觀看,

他看見全人類。

14 從自己的住處,

他察看地上所有的居民。

15 他是那創造眾人的心,

了解他們一切作為的。

16 君王不是因兵多得勝,

勇士不是因力大得救。

17 想靠馬得勝是枉然的;

馬雖然力大,也不能救人。

18 耶和華的眼睛看顧敬畏他的人,

和那些仰望他慈愛的人;

19 要搭救他們的性命脫離死亡,

使他們在饑荒中可以存活。

20 我們的心等候耶和華,

他是我們的幫助、我們的盾牌。

21 我們的心因他歡樂,

因為我們倚靠他的聖名。

22 耶和華啊!求你照著我們所仰望你的,

向我們施慈愛。

Psalm 33

Release your heart’s joy in sweet music to the Eternal.
    When the upright passionately sing glory-filled songs to Him, everything is in its right place.
Worship the Eternal with your instruments, strings offering their praise;
    write awe-filled songs to Him on the 10-stringed harp.
Sing to Him a new song;
    play each the best way you can,
    and don’t be afraid to be bold with your joyful feelings.

For the word of the Eternal is perfect and true;
    His actions are always faithful and right.
He loves virtue and equity;
    the Eternal’s love fills the whole earth.

The unfathomable cosmos came into being at the word of the Eternal’s imagination, a solitary voice in endless darkness.
    The breath of His mouth whispered the sea of stars into existence.
He gathers every drop of every ocean as in a jar,
    securing the ocean depths as His watery treasure.

Let all people stand in awe of the Eternal;
    let every man, woman, and child live in wonder of Him.
For He spoke, and all things came into being.
    A single command from His lips, and all creation obeyed and stood its ground.

10 The Eternal cripples the schemes of the other nations;
    He impedes the plans of rival peoples.
11 The Eternal’s purposes will last to the end of time;
    the thoughts of His heart will awaken and stir all generations.
12 The nation whose True God is the Eternal is truly blessed;
    fortunate are all whom He chooses to inherit His legacy.

13 The Eternal peers down from heaven
    and watches all of humanity;
14 He observes every soul
    from His divine residence.
15 He has formed every human heart, breathing life into every human spirit;
    He knows the deeds of each person, inside and out.
16 A king is not delivered by the might of his army.
    Even the strongest warrior is not saved by his own strength.
17 A horse is not the way to victory;
    its great strength cannot rescue.

18 Listen, the eye of the Eternal is upon those who live in awe of Him,
    those who hope in His steadfast love,
19 That He may save them from the darkness of the grave
    and be kept alive during the lean seasons.

20 We live with hope in the Eternal. We wait for Him,
    for He is our Divine Help and Impenetrable Shield.
21 Our hearts erupt with joy in Him
    because we trust His holy name.
22 O Eternal, drench us with Your endless love,
    even now as we wait for You.

Psalm 33

Sing joyfully(A) to the Lord, you righteous;
    it is fitting(B) for the upright(C) to praise him.
Praise the Lord with the harp;(D)
    make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.(E)
Sing to him a new song;(F)
    play skillfully, and shout for joy.(G)

For the word of the Lord is right(H) and true;(I)
    he is faithful(J) in all he does.
The Lord loves righteousness and justice;(K)
    the earth is full of his unfailing love.(L)

By the word(M) of the Lord the heavens were made,(N)
    their starry host(O) by the breath of his mouth.
He gathers the waters(P) of the sea into jars[a];(Q)
    he puts the deep into storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord;(R)
    let all the people of the world(S) revere him.(T)
For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded,(U) and it stood firm.

10 The Lord foils(V) the plans(W) of the nations;(X)
    he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm(Y) forever,
    the purposes(Z) of his heart through all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,(AA)
    the people he chose(AB) for his inheritance.(AC)
13 From heaven the Lord looks down(AD)
    and sees all mankind;(AE)
14 from his dwelling place(AF) he watches
    all who live on earth—
15 he who forms(AG) the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.(AH)

16 No king is saved by the size of his army;(AI)
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse(AJ) is a vain hope for deliverance;
    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes(AK) of the Lord are on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,(AL)
19 to deliver them from death(AM)
    and keep them alive in famine.(AN)

20 We wait(AO) in hope for the Lord;
    he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,(AP)
    for we trust in his holy name.(AQ)
22 May your unfailing love(AR) be with us, Lord,
    even as we put our hope in you.

  1. Psalm 33:7 Or sea as into a heap

The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History

33 Rejoice (A)in the Lord, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
Praise the Lord with the harp;
[a]Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

(B)By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the (C)host of them (D)by the breath of His mouth.
(E)He gathers the waters of the sea together [b]as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For (F)He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.

10 (G)The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 (H)The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has (I)chosen as His own inheritance.

13 (J)The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He fashions their hearts individually;
(K)He [c]considers all their works.

16 (L)No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 (M)A horse is a [d]vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

18 (N)Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,
And (O)to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.
