诗篇 33
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
颂赞耶和华之诚信功能
33 义人哪，你们应当靠耶和华欢乐！正直人的赞美是合宜的。
2 你们应当弹琴称谢耶和华，用十弦瑟歌颂他。
3 应当向他唱新歌，弹得巧妙，声音洪亮。
4 因为耶和华的言语正直，凡他所做的尽都诚实。
5 他喜爱仁义、公平，遍地满了耶和华的慈爱。
6 诸天借耶和华的命而造，万象借他口中的气而成。
7 他聚集海水如垒，收藏深洋在库房。
8 愿全地都敬畏耶和华，愿世上的居民都惧怕他。
9 因为他说有，就有；命立，就立。
10 耶和华使列国的筹算归于无有，使众民的思念无有功效。
11 耶和华的筹算永远立定，他心中的思念万代常存。
以耶和华为神者其国有福
12 以耶和华为神的，那国是有福的！他所拣选为自己产业的，那民是有福的！
13 耶和华从天上观看，他看见一切的世人，
14 从他的居所往外察看地上一切的居民。
15 他是那造成他们众人心的，留意他们一切作为的。
16 君王不能因兵多得胜，勇士不能因力大得救。
17 靠马得救是枉然的，马也不能因力大救人。
18 耶和华的眼目看顾敬畏他的人和仰望他慈爱的人，
19 要救他们的命脱离死亡，并使他们在饥荒中存活。
20 我们的心向来等候耶和华，他是我们的帮助，我们的盾牌。
21 我们的心必靠他欢喜，因为我们向来倚靠他的圣名。
22 耶和华啊，求你照着我们所仰望你的，向我们施行慈爱。
Psalm 33
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 33[a]
Praise of God’s Power and Providence
I
1 Rejoice, you righteous, in the Lord;
praise from the upright is fitting.(A)
2 Give thanks to the Lord on the harp;
on the ten-stringed lyre offer praise.(B)
3 Sing to him a new song;
skillfully play with joyful chant.
4 For the Lord’s word is upright;
all his works are trustworthy.
5 He loves justice and right.
The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.(C)
II
6 By the Lord’s word the heavens were made;
by the breath of his mouth all their host.[b](D)
7 [c]He gathered the waters of the sea as a mound;
he sets the deep into storage vaults.(E)
III
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all who dwell in the world show him reverence.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be,
commanded, and it stood in place.(F)
10 The Lord foils the plan of nations,
frustrates the designs of peoples.
11 But the plan of the Lord stands forever,
the designs of his heart through all generations.(G)
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people chosen as his inheritance.(H)
IV
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
and observes the children of Adam,(I)
14 From his dwelling place he surveys
all who dwell on earth.
15 The One who fashioned together their hearts
is the One who knows all their works.
V
16 A king is not saved by a great army,
nor a warrior delivered by great strength.
17 Useless is the horse for safety;
despite its great strength, it cannot be saved.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear him,
upon those who count on his mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,
and to keep them alive through famine.
VI
20 Our soul waits for the Lord,
he is our help and shield.(J)
21 For in him our hearts rejoice;
in his holy name we trust.
22 May your mercy, Lord, be upon us;
as we put our hope in you.
Footnotes
- Psalm 33 A hymn in which the just are invited (Ps 33:1–3) to praise God, who by a mere word (Ps 33:4–5) created the three-tiered universe of the heavens, the cosmic waters, and the earth (Ps 33:6–9). Human words, in contrast, effect nothing (Ps 33:10–11). The greatness of human beings consists in God’s choosing them as a special people and their faithful response (Ps 33:12–22).
- 33:6 All their host: the stars of the sky are commonly viewed as a vast army, e.g., Neh 9:6; Is 40:26; 45:12; Jer 33:22.
- 33:7 The waters…as a mound: ancients sometimes attributed the power keeping the seas from overwhelming land to a primordial victory of the storm-god over personified Sea.
