颂赞之歌
义人哪，你们当因耶和华欢呼， 正直人理当赞美耶和华。Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2你们要弹琴称谢耶和华， 用十弦瑟歌颂他。Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3应当向他唱新歌， 弹得巧妙，声音洪亮。Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4因为耶和华的言语正直， 他的作为尽都信实。For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5他喜爱公义和公平， 遍地满了耶和华的慈爱。He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6诸天藉耶和华的话而造， 万象藉他口中的气而成。By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7他聚集海水如垒， 收藏深洋在仓库。He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8愿全地都敬畏耶和华！ 愿世上的居民都惧怕他！Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9因为他说有，就有， 命立，就立。For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10耶和华使列国的筹算归于无有， 使万民的计谋全无功效。The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11耶和华的筹算永远立定， 他心中的计划万代长存。The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12以耶和华为神的，那国有福了！ 耶和华拣选为自己产业的，那民有福了！Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13耶和华从天上观看， 看见所有的人，The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14从他的居所察看地上每一个居民，From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15他塑造他们的心， 洞察他们一切的作为。He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16君王不能因兵多得胜， 勇士不能因力大得救。There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17靠马得救是枉然的， 马也不能因力大救人。An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18看哪，耶和华的眼目看顾敬畏他的人 和仰望他慈爱的人，Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19要救他们的性命脱离死亡， 使他们在饥荒中存活。To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20我们的心向来等候耶和华； 他是我们的帮助，是我们的盾牌。Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21我们的心必靠他欢喜， 因为我们向来倚靠他的圣名。For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22耶和华啊，求你照着我们所仰望你的， 向我们施行慈爱！Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
