第 103 篇
上帝的慈爱
大卫的诗。
1我的心啊，要称颂耶和华，
我要全心全意地称颂祂的圣名。
2我的心啊，要称颂耶和华，
不要忘记祂的一切恩惠。
3祂赦免我一切的罪恶，
医治我一切的疾病。
4祂救赎我的生命脱离死亡，
以慈爱和怜悯环绕我。
5祂以美物满足我的愿望，
使我如鹰一般恢复青春。
6耶和华为一切受欺压的人伸张正义，主持公道。
7祂让摩西明白自己的旨意，
向以色列人彰显自己的作为。
8耶和华有怜悯和恩典，
不轻易发怒，充满慈爱。
9祂不永久责备人，
也不永远怀怒。
10祂没有按我们的过犯对待我们，
也没有照我们的罪恶惩罚我们。
11因为天离地有多高，
祂对敬畏祂之人的爱也多大！
12东离西有多远，
祂叫我们的过犯离我们也多远！
13耶和华怜爱敬畏祂的人，
如同慈父怜爱自己的儿女。
14因为祂知道我们的本源，
顾念我们不过是尘土。
15世人的年日如同草芥，
如野地茂盛的花，
16一经风吹，便无影无踪，
永远消逝。
17耶和华永永远远爱敬畏祂的人，
以公义待他们的子子孙孙，
18就是那些守祂的约、
一心遵行祂命令的人。
19耶和华在天上设立了宝座，
祂的王权无所不及。
20听从耶和华的命令、遵行祂吩咐的大能天使啊，
你们要称颂祂！
21事奉耶和华、遵从祂旨意的天军啊，
你们要称颂祂！
22耶和华所造的万物啊，
要在祂掌管的各处称颂祂。
我的心啊，要称颂耶和华！
Psalm 103
A psalm of David.
1I will praise the Lord.
Deep down inside me, I will praise him.
I will praise him, because his name is holy.
2I will praise the Lord.
I won’t forget anything he does for me.
3He forgives all my sins.
He heals all my sicknesses.
4He saves my life from going down into the grave.
His faithful and tender love makes me feel like a king.
5He satisfies me with the good things I desire.
Then I feel young and strong again, just like an eagle.
6The Lord does what is right and fair
for all who are treated badly.
7He told Moses all about his plans.
He let the people of Israel see his mighty acts.
8The Lord is tender and kind. He is gracious.
He is slow to get angry. He is full of love.
9He won’t keep bringing charges against us.
He won’t stay angry with us forever.
10He doesn’t punish us for our sins as much as we should be punished.
He doesn’t pay us back in keeping with the evil things we’ve done.
11He loves those who have respect for him.
His love is as high as the heavens are above the earth.
12He has removed our sins from us.
He has removed them as far as the east is from the west.
13A father is tender and kind to his children.
In the same way, the Lord is tender and kind
to those who have respect for him.
14He knows what we are made of.
He remembers that we are dust.
15The life of human beings is like grass.
People grow like the flowers in the field.
16When the wind blows on them, they are gone.
No one can tell that they had ever been there.
17But the Lord’s love
for those who have respect for him
lasts for ever and ever.
Their children’s children will know
that he always does what is right.
18He always loves those who keep his covenant.
He always does what is right for those who remember to obey his commands.
19The Lord has set up his throne in heaven.
His kingdom rules over all.
20Praise the Lord, you angels of his.
Praise him, you mighty ones
who carry out his orders and obey his word.
21Praise the Lord, all you angels in heaven.
Praise him, all you who serve him and do what he wants.
22Let everything the Lord has made praise him
everywhere in his kingdom.
I will praise the Lord.
