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。
Psalm 33
1Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathers the waters of the sea into jars33:7 Or sea as into a heap;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the people of the world revere him.
9For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
14from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
15he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
16No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
21In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.
