1[A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, [bless] His holy name.
1(大衛的詩。)我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!凡在我裡面的,也要稱頌他的聖名!
2Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits;
2我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!不可忘記他的一切恩惠!
3Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases;
3他赦免你的一切罪孽,醫治你的一切疾病。
4Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
4他救贖你的命脫離死亡,以仁愛和慈悲為你的冠冕。
5Who satisfies your years with good things, [So that] your youth is renewed like the eagle.
5他用美物使你所願的得以知足,以致你如鷹返老還童。
6The LORD performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed.
6耶和華施行公義,為一切受屈的人伸冤。
7He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.
7他使摩西知道他的法則,叫以色列人曉得他的作為。
8The LORD is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
8耶和華有憐憫,有恩典,不輕易發怒,且有豐盛的慈愛。
9He will not always strive [with us], Nor will He keep [His anger] forever.
9他不長久責備,也不永遠懷怒。
10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
10他沒有按我們的罪過待我們,也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。
11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.
11天離地何等的高,他的慈愛向敬畏他的人也是何等的大!
12As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
12東離西有多遠,他叫我們的過犯離我們也有多遠!
13Just as a father has compassion on [his] children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
13父親怎樣憐恤他的兒女,耶和華也怎樣憐恤敬畏他的人!
14For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are [but] dust.
14因為他知道我們的本體,思念我們不過是塵土。
15As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
15至於世人,他的年日如草一樣。他發旺如野地的花,
16When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer.
16經風一吹,便歸無有;他的原處也不再認識他。
17But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children's children,
17但耶和華的慈愛歸於敬畏他的人,從亙古到永遠;他的公義也歸於子子孫孫
18To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts to do them.
18就是那些遵守他的約、記念他的訓詞而遵行的人。
19The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all.
19耶和華在天上立定寶座;他的權柄(原文是國)統管萬有。
20Bless the LORD, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word!
20聽從他命令、成全他旨意、有大能的天使,都要稱頌耶和華!
21Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will.
21你們作他的諸軍,作他的僕役,行他所喜悅的,都要稱頌耶和華!
22Bless the LORD, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the LORD, O my soul!
22你們一切被他造的,在他所治理的各處,都要稱頌耶和華!我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!
