Psalms 103

1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name!

達味作。我的靈魂，請向上主讚頌，我的五內，請向主名讚頌。

2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

我的靈魂，請向上主讚頌，請你不要忘記他的恩寵。

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases;

是他赦免了你的各種愆尤，是他治愈了你的一切病苦，

4 Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

是他叫你的性命在死亡中得到保全，是他用仁慈以及愛情給你作了冠冕，

5 Who satisfieth thine old age with good [things]; thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

是他賞賜你一生幸福滿盈，是他使你的青春更新如鷹。

6 Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed.

上主常行正義的工作，為受壓迫者主持公道。

7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

上主曾將自己的道路告知梅瑟，給以色列子民彰顯自己的功績。

8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.

上主富於仁慈寬恕，極其慈悲，遲於發怒。

9 He will not always chide, neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.

他決不會常常責問，也決不會世世憤恨。

10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

他沒有按我們的罪惡對待我們，也沒有照我們的過犯報復我們。

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.

就如上天距離下地有多麼高，他待敬畏他者的慈愛也多高；

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

就如東方距離西方有多麼遠，他使我們的罪離我們也多遠；

13 As a father pitieth [his] children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

就如父親怎樣憐愛自己兒女們，上主也怎樣憐愛敬畏自己的人們。

14 For himself knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

他原知道我們怎樣形成，也記得我們不過是灰塵。

15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth:

世人的歲月與青草無異，又像田野的花，茂盛一時，

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof knoweth it no more.

只要輕風吹過，他就不復存在，沒有人認得出他原有的所在。

17 But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,

但上主的慈愛永遠臨於敬畏他的人，他的正義永遠臨於他們的子子孫孫：

18 To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.

就是臨於那些遵守他盟約的人，和那些懷念並履行他誡命的人。

19 Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom ruleth over all.

上主在天上立定了自己的寶位，天下的萬物都屬他的王權統治。

20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

上主的眾天使，請你們讚美上主，你們是執行他命令的大能臣僕，又是服從上主聖言的聽命公侯；

21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will.

上主的眾天使，請讚美上主，您們是奉行祂旨意的忠僕，

22 Bless Jehovah, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul!

上主所有的一切受造物，在祂權限所達的各處，請您們大家都讚美上主。我的靈魂請您讚美上主！
