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.
第 103 篇
上帝的慈愛
大衛的詩。
1我的心啊，要稱頌耶和華，
我要全心全意地稱頌祂的聖名。
2我的心啊，要稱頌耶和華，
不要忘記祂的一切恩惠。
3祂赦免我一切的罪惡，
醫治我一切的疾病。
4祂救贖我的生命脫離死亡，
以慈愛和憐憫環繞我。
5祂以美物滿足我的願望，
使我如鷹一般恢復青春。
6耶和華為一切受欺壓的人伸張正義，主持公道。
7祂讓摩西明白自己的旨意，
向以色列人彰顯自己的作為。
8耶和華有憐憫和恩典，
不輕易發怒，充滿慈愛。
9祂不永久責備人，
也不永遠懷怒。
10祂沒有按我們的過犯對待我們，
也沒有照我們的罪惡懲罰我們。
11因為天離地有多高，
祂對敬畏祂之人的愛也多大！
12東離西有多遠，
祂叫我們的過犯離我們也多遠！
13耶和華憐愛敬畏祂的人，
如同慈父憐愛自己的兒女。
14因為祂知道我們的本源，
顧念我們不過是塵土。
15世人的年日如同草芥，
如野地茂盛的花，
16一經風吹，便無影無蹤，
永遠消逝。
17耶和華永永遠遠愛敬畏祂的人，
以公義待他們的子子孫孫，
18就是那些守祂的約、
一心遵行祂命令的人。
19耶和華在天上設立了寶座，
祂的王權無所不及。
20聽從耶和華的命令、遵行祂吩咐的大能天使啊，
你們要稱頌祂！
21事奉耶和華、遵從祂旨意的天軍啊，
你們要稱頌祂！
22耶和華所造的萬物啊，
要在祂掌管的各處稱頌祂。
我的心啊，要稱頌耶和華！
