How Majestic Is Your Name

To the choirmaster: according to The (A)Gittith.[a] A Psalm of David.

O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your (B)name in all the earth!
You have set your (C)glory above the heavens.
    (D)Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established (E)strength because of your foes,
    to still (F)the enemy and the avenger.

When I (G)look at your heavens, the work of your (H)fingers,
    the moon and the stars, (I)which you have set in place,
(J)what is man that you are (K)mindful of him,
    and (L)the son of man that you (M)care for him?

Yet you have made him a little lower than (N)the heavenly beings[b]
    and crowned him with (O)glory and honor.
You have given him (P)dominion over the works of your hands;
    (Q)you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

耶和華之榮耀人之尊貴

大衛的詩,交於伶長。用迦特樂器。

耶和華我們的主啊,你的名在全地何其美,你將你的榮耀彰顯於天!
你因敵人的緣故,從嬰孩和吃奶的口中建立了能力,使仇敵和報仇的閉口無言。
我觀看你指頭所造的天,並你所陳設的月亮星宿,
便說:「人算什麼,你竟顧念他?世人算什麼,你竟眷顧他?
你叫他比天使[a]微小一點,並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。
你派他管理你手所造的,使萬物,就是一切的牛羊,田野的獸,空中的鳥,海裡的魚,凡經行海道的,都服在他的腳下。」
耶和華我們的主啊,你的名在全地何其美!

Israel Increases Greatly in Egypt

(A)These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob, each with his household: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. All the descendants of Jacob were (B)seventy persons; Joseph was already in Egypt. Then (C)Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation. (D)But the people of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was filled with them.

God's Righteous Judgment

Therefore you have (A)no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For (B)in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on (C)the riches of his kindness and (D)forbearance and (E)patience, (F)not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are (G)storing up (H)wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

(I)He will render to each one according to his works: to those who (J)by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking[a] and (K)do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. There will be tribulation and distress (L)for every human being who does evil, the Jew (M)first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and (N)peace for everyone who does good, (O)the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For (P)God shows no partiality.

主照各人行為施行報應

你這論斷人的,無論你是誰,也無可推諉。你在什麼事上論斷人,就在什麼事上定自己的罪,因你這論斷人的,自己所行卻和別人一樣。 我們知道這樣行的人,神必照真理審判他。 你這人哪,你論斷行這樣事的人,自己所行的卻和別人一樣,你以為能逃脫神的審判嗎? 還是你藐視他豐富的恩慈、寬容、忍耐,不曉得他的恩慈是領你悔改呢? 你竟任著你剛硬不悔改的心,為自己積蓄憤怒,以致神震怒,顯他公義審判的日子來到。 他必照各人的行為報應各人。 凡恆心行善,尋求榮耀、尊貴和不能朽壞之福的,就以永生報應他們; 唯有結黨、不順從真理反順從不義的,就以憤怒、惱恨報應他們。 將患難、困苦加給一切作惡的人,先是猶太人,後是希臘人; 10 卻將榮耀、尊貴、平安加給一切行善的人,先是猶太人,後是希臘人。 11 因為神不偏待人。
