Psalms 147

1 Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!

1 你们要赞美耶和华！ 歌颂我们的上帝，真是美好！ 赞美祂，真是快乐合宜！

2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.

2 耶和华重建耶路撒冷， 召集流亡的以色列人。

3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

3 祂医治心灵破碎的人， 包扎他们的创伤。

4 He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name.

4 祂决定众星的数目， 给它们一一命名。

5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.

5 我们的主伟大无比，充满力量， 祂的智慧没有穷尽。

6 The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.

6 耶和华扶持谦卑人， 祂使恶人坠入尘埃。

7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,

7 你们要以感恩的心歌颂耶和华， 弹琴赞美我们的上帝。

8 who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.

8 祂以云霞遮蔽天空， 降雨水滋润大地， 使山上长出青草。

9 He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.

9 祂赐食物给走兽， 喂养嗷嗷待哺的小乌鸦。

10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

10 耶和华所喜悦的不是强健的马匹， 也不是矫捷的战士，

11 The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.

11 而是敬畏祂、仰望祂慈爱的人。

12 Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!

12 耶路撒冷啊，要称颂耶和华； 锡安啊，要赞美你的上帝。

13 For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.

13 因为祂使你的城门坚固， 赐福给你的儿女。

14 He makes peace at your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat.

14 祂使你四境平安， 饱享上好的麦子。

15 He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.

15 祂向大地发出命令， 祂的话迅速传开。

16 He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;

16 祂降下羊毛般的白雪， 撒下炉灰般的寒霜。

17 He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast?

17 祂抛下碎石般的冰雹， 谁能经得住祂降下的严寒呢？

18 He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.

18 祂一声令下，冰雪便溶化； 祂使微风吹拂，河川奔流。

19 He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.

19 祂将自己的话传于雅各， 将自己的律例和法令指示以色列。

20 He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!

20 祂未曾这样对待其他国家， 他们不知道祂的法令。 你们要赞美耶和华！
