第33篇
颂赞之歌
1义人啊，
你们要欢然歌颂耶和华，
正直的人理应赞美祂。
2你们要弹琴赞美耶和华，
弹奏十弦琴歌颂祂。
3要向祂唱新歌，
琴声要美妙，歌声要嘹亮。
4因为耶和华的话正直，
祂的作为信实可靠。
5祂喜爱公义和公正，
大地充满祂的慈爱。
6诸天靠祂的话被造，
万象靠祂口中的气而成。
7祂将海水聚在一处，
把汪洋收进仓库。
8愿普世都敬畏耶和华！
愿世人都畏惧祂！
9因为祂一发话，就创造了万有；
祂一声命令，便立定了万物。
10祂挫败列国的谋算，
拦阻列邦的计划。
11祂的计划永不落空，
祂的旨意万代长存。
12尊祂为上帝的邦国有福了！
蒙拣选做祂子民的人有福了！
13祂从天上俯视人间，
14从祂的居所察看世人。
15祂塑造人心，
洞察人的一切行为。
16君王不能靠兵多取胜，
勇士不能凭力大获救。
17靠战马取胜实属妄想，
马虽力大也不能救人。
18但耶和华看顾敬畏祂的人，
祂看顾仰望祂慈爱的人。
19祂救他们脱离死亡，
保护他们度过饥荒。
20我们的心等候耶和华，
祂是我们的帮助，
是我们的盾牌。
21我们信靠祂的圣名，
我们的心因祂而充满喜乐。
22耶和华啊，我们仰望你，求你向我们施慈爱。
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.
