称颂的圣诗
哈利路亚! 你们要赞美耶和华的名! 侍立在耶和华殿中,耶和华的仆人, 侍立在我们神殿院中的,要赞美他!Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.
2你们要赞美耶和华, 因耶和华本为善; 要歌颂他的名, 因为这是美好的。Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,
3耶和华拣选雅各归自己, 拣选以色列作他宝贵的产业。Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4我知道耶和华本为大, 也知道我们的主超乎万神之上。For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5在天,在地,在海洋,在各深渊, 耶和华都随自己的旨意而行。For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6他使云雾从地极上腾, 造电随雨而闪, 从仓库中吹出风来。Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7他将埃及头生的, 连人带牲畜都击杀了。He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
8埃及啊,他施行神迹奇事, 在你们中间,在法老和他所有臣仆身上。Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9他击打许多国家, 杀戮大能的君王,Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10就是亚摩利王西宏、巴珊王噩, 和迦南一切的国度,Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11他赏赐他们的地为业, 作为自己百姓以色列的产业。Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12耶和华啊,你的名字存到永远! 耶和华啊,你的称号☛“称号”:原文是“纪念”。存到万代!And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13耶和华要为自己的百姓伸冤, 为自己的仆人发怜悯。Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
14外邦的偶像是金的,是银的, 是人手所造的,For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15有口却不能言, 有眼却不能看,The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16有耳却不能听, 口中也没有气息。They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17造它们的要像它们一样, 凡靠它们的也必如此。They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18以色列家啊,要称颂耶和华! 亚伦家啊,要称颂耶和华!They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
