Psalms 147

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

1 你們要讚美耶和華！ 因歌頌我們的上帝為善為美； 讚美的話是合宜的。

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

2 耶和華建造耶路撒冷， 聚集以色列中被趕散的人。

3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

3 他醫好傷心的人， 裹好他們的傷處。

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

4 他數點星宿的數目， 一一稱它的名。

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

5 我們的主為大，最有能力； 他的智慧無法測度。

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

6 耶和華扶持謙卑人， 將惡人傾覆於地。

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

7 你們要以感謝向耶和華歌唱， 用琴向我們的上帝歌頌。

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

8 他用雲遮天，為地降雨， 使草生長在山上。

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

9 他賜食給走獸 和啼叫的小烏鴉。

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

10 他不喜悅馬的力大， 不喜愛人的腿快。

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

11 耶和華喜愛敬畏他 和盼望他慈愛的人。

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

12 耶路撒冷啊，你要頌讚耶和華！ 錫安哪，你要讚美你的上帝！

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

13 因為他堅固了你的門閂， 賜福給你中間的兒女。

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

14 他使你境內平安， 用上好的麥子使你滿足。

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

15 他發命在地； 他的話頒行最快。

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

16 他降雪如羊毛， 撒霜如爐灰。

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

17 他擲下冰雹如碎渣； 他發出寒冷，誰能當得起呢？

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

18 他一出令，這些就都消化； 他使風颳起，水便流動。

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

19 他將他的道指示雅各， 將他的律例典章指示以色列。

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

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！
