「你們要稱謝耶和華,
呼求祂的名,
在列邦傳揚祂的作為。
要歌頌、讚美祂,
述說祂一切奇妙的作為。
10 要以祂的聖名為榮,
願尋求耶和華的人都歡欣。
11 要尋求耶和華和祂的能力,
時常來到祂面前。
12-13 祂僕人以色列的後裔啊,
祂所揀選的雅各的子孫啊,
要記住祂所行的神蹟奇事和祂口中的判詞。

14 「祂是我們的上帝耶和華,
祂在普天下施行審判。
15 你們要永遠銘記祂的約,
要思想祂的應許直到千代,
16 就是祂與亞伯拉罕所立的約,
向以撒所起的誓。
17 祂將這約定為律例賜給雅各,
定為永遠的約賜給以色列。
18 祂說,『我必把迦南賜給你,
作為你的產業。』

19 「那時他們人丁稀少,
在當地寄居,
20 他們在異國他鄉流離飄零。
21 耶和華不容人壓迫他們,
還為他們的緣故責備君王,
22 說,『不可難為我膏立的人,
也不可傷害我的先知。』

Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.

10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

11 Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.

12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14 He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;

21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

And from one kingdom to another people,
21 He permitted no man to do them wrong;
Yes, He (G)rebuked kings for their sakes,
22 Saying, (H)“Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”
