第 33 篇
頌讚之歌
1義人啊，
你們要歡然歌頌耶和華，
正直的人理應讚美祂。
2你們要彈琴讚美耶和華，
彈奏十弦琴讚美祂。
3要為祂唱新歌，
琴聲要美妙，歌聲要嘹亮。
4因為耶和華的話是真理，
祂的作為信實可靠。
5祂喜愛公平正義，
大地充滿祂的慈愛。
6諸天靠祂的話而造，
群星靠祂口中的氣而成。
7祂將海水聚在一處，把汪洋收進倉庫。
8願普世都敬畏耶和華！
願世人都尊崇祂！
9因為祂一發話，就創造了天地；
祂一命令，就立定了萬物。
10祂挫敗列國的謀算，
攔阻列邦的計劃。
11祂的計劃永不落空，
祂的旨意萬代長存。
12尊祂為上帝的邦國有福了！
蒙揀選做祂子民的人有福了！
13祂從天上俯視人間，
14從祂的居所察看世上萬民。
15祂塑造人心，
洞察人的一切行為。
16君王不能靠兵多取勝，
勇士不能憑力大獲救。
17靠戰馬取勝實屬妄想，
馬雖力大也不能救人。
18但耶和華看顧敬畏祂、仰望祂慈愛的人。
19祂救他們脫離死亡，
保護他們度過饑荒。
20我們仰望耶和華，
祂是我們的幫助，
是我們的盾牌。
21我們信靠祂的聖名，
我們的心因祂而充滿喜樂。
22耶和華啊，我們仰望你，求你向我們施慈愛。
1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.33.5 goodness: or, mercy
6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.33.10 bringeth: Heb. maketh frustrate
11The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.33.11 to all…: Heb. to generation and generation
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
