< 詩篇 135 >

1 阿肋路亞!上主的眾僕請讚頌,請讚頌上主的聖名!
Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants,
2 您們服役於上主聖殿的,您們侍立在我主前庭的,
who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 請歌頌上主,因為上主是美善的,歌詠祂的名,因祂的名是甘甜的。
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good: Sing praise to his name it is pleasant.
4 雅各伯原是上主所選,以色列永遠作祂自己的家產。
The Lord for himself chose Jacob, Israel as his own special treasure.
5 我確實知道,上主偉大無比!我們的上主,超越所有神祇!
For I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
6 上天及下地,海洋深淵的任何化工,上主只要願意,無一不由祂造成。
All that he wills he does in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all the abysses.
7 祂使雲彩由地面現露,祂使電光閃爍而成雨,祂使清風由寶庫發出。
Clouds he brings up from the ends of the earth, lightnings he makes for the rain, wind he brings out of his storehouses.
8 祂將埃及的人和牲畜,凡首生者都一起殺戮。
The firstborn of Egypt he struck, both humans and animals.
9 埃及!祂在您內行了奇蹟異能,懲罰了法郎和他的萬眾臣。
Signs and wonders he sent into your midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 祂擊敗了列國的萬民,祂殺死了強盛的國君:
Many nations he struck, mighty kings he slew
11 阿摩黎王息紅、巴商王敖格,以及客納罕地的王侯官吏。
Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12 祂將他們的土地變作產業,賜給了自己的人民以色列。
He gave their land for possession, possession to Israel his people.
13 上主,您的聖名千秋留存,上主,您的記念,萬世常新。
Your name, O Lord, is forever; your memorial world without end.
14 因為上主護衛自己的百姓,對自己的僕人們表示憐憫。
For the Lord secures right for his people, and takes pity upon his servants.
15 異民的偶像,無非金銀,只是人手中的製造品:
The idols of heathen are silver made by human hands.
16 偶像有口,而不能言;偶像有眼,而不能看;
They have mouths, but cannot speak: they have eyes, but cannot see.
17 偶像有耳,而聽不見;偶像有鼻,而無氣喘。
They have ears, but cannot hear: there is no breath in their mouths.
18 鑄造偶像的人,將與偶像同亡,凡信賴偶像的人,也將是一樣。
Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.
19 以色列家族,請讚頌上主!亞郎家族,請讚頌上主!
House of Israel, praise the Lord: house of Araon, praise the Lord.
20 肋末的家族,請讚頌上主!敬愛上主的人讚頌上主!
House of Levi, praise the Lord: you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord.
21 住在耶路撒冷的君王,願他由熙雍承受讚頌!
Blest be the Lord out of Zion, who lives in Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
