詩篇 第 147 篇

¹你們要讚美耶和華！因歌頌我們的神為善為美；讚美的話是合宜的。Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.

²耶和華建造耶路撒冷，聚集以色列中被趕散的人。The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

³他醫好傷心的人，裹好他們的傷處。He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

⁴他數點星宿的數目，一一稱他的名。He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

⁵我們的主為大，最有能力；他的智慧無法測度。Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

⁶耶和華扶持謙卑人，將惡人傾覆於地。The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

⁷你們要以感謝向耶和華歌唱，用琴向我們的神歌頌。Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

⁸他用雲遮天，為地降雨，使草生長在山上。Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

⁹他賜食給走獸和啼叫的小烏鴉。He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

¹⁰他不喜悅馬的力大，不喜愛人的腿快。He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹¹耶和華喜愛敬畏他和盼望他慈愛的人。The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

¹²耶路撒冷啊，你要頌讚耶和華！錫安哪，你要讚美你的神！Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

¹³因為他堅固了你的門閂，賜福給你中間的兒女。For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.

¹⁴他使你境內平安，用上好的麥子使你滿足。He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

¹⁵他發命在地；他的話頒行最快。He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.

¹⁶他降雪如羊毛，撒霜如爐灰。He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

¹⁷他擲下冰雹如碎渣；他發出寒冷，誰能當得起呢？He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

¹⁸他一出令，這些就都消化；他使風颳起，水便流動。He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

¹⁹他將他的道指示雅各，將他的律例典章指示以色列。He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

²⁰別國他都沒有這樣待過；至於他的典章，他們向來沒有知道。你們要讚美耶和華！He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
