Psalms 33

1 Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.

1 義人哪，你們應當靠耶和華歡樂； 正直人的讚美是合宜的。

2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.

2 你們應當彈琴稱謝耶和華， 用十弦瑟歌頌他。

3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.

3 應當向他唱新歌， 彈得巧妙，聲音洪亮。

4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is trustworthy.

4 因為耶和華的言語正直； 凡他所做的盡都誠實。

5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.

5 他喜愛仁義公平； 遍地滿了耶和華的慈愛。

6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.

6 諸天藉耶和華的命而造； 萬象藉他口中的氣而成。

7 He piles up the waters of the sea; He puts the depths into storehouses.

7 他聚集海水如壘， 收藏深洋在庫房。

8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.

8 願全地都敬畏耶和華！ 願世上的居民都懼怕他！

9 For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.

9 因為他說有，就有， 命立，就立。

10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.

10 耶和華使列國的籌算歸於無有， 使眾民的思念無有功效。

11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.

11 耶和華的籌算永遠立定； 他心中的思念萬代常存。

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!

12 以耶和華為上帝的，那國是有福的！ 他所揀選為自己產業的，那民是有福的！

13 The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.

13 耶和華從天上觀看； 他看見一切的世人。

14 From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.

14 從他的居所往外察看地上一切的居民－

15 He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.

15 他是那造成他們眾人心的， 留意他們一切作為的。

16 No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.

16 君王不能因兵多得勝； 勇士不能因力大得救。

17 A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.

17 靠馬得救是枉然的； 馬也不能因力大救人。

18 Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion

18 耶和華的眼目看顧敬畏他的人 和仰望他慈愛的人，

19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

19 要救他們的命脫離死亡， 並使他們在饑荒中存活。

20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.

20 我們的心向來等候耶和華； 他是我們的幫助，我們的盾牌。

21 For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.

21 我們的心必靠他歡喜， 因為我們向來倚靠他的聖名。

22 May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.

22 耶和華啊，求你照着我們所仰望你的， 向我們施行慈愛！
