< Psalms 146 >

1 Praise the Lord! With my whole being I praise the Lord!
你們要讚美耶和華! 我的心哪,你要讚美耶和華!
2 I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have breath.
我一生要讚美耶和華! 我還活的時候要歌頌我的上帝!
3 Don't put your confidence in human leaders—they cannot save you.
你們不要倚靠君王,不要倚靠世人; 他一點不能幫助。
4 Once they breathe no more, they go back to dust. On that very day everything they planned dies with them.
他的氣一斷,就歸回塵土; 他所打算的,當日就消滅了。
5 Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them—their hope is in the Lord their God—
以雅各的上帝為幫助、 仰望耶和華-他上帝的,這人便為有福!
6 the one who made heaven and earth, and the sea along with everything it contains. He is trustworthy forever.
耶和華造天、地、海,和其中的萬物; 他守誠實,直到永遠。
7 He makes sure the oppressed receive justice. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.
他為受屈的伸冤, 賜食物與飢餓的。 耶和華釋放被囚的;
8 The Lord makes the blind see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves those who do what is right.
耶和華開了瞎子的眼睛; 耶和華扶起被壓下的人。 耶和華喜愛義人。
9 The Lord takes care of strangers among us. He looks after widows and orphans. But he makes life difficult for the wicked.
耶和華保護寄居的, 扶持孤兒和寡婦, 卻使惡人的道路彎曲。
10 The Lord will reign forever. Zion, he will be your God for all generations. Praise the Lord!
耶和華要作王,直到永遠! 錫安哪,你的上帝要作王,直到萬代! 你們要讚美耶和華!
