1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.
2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,
3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:
20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
1 你们要赞美耶和华, 你们要赞美耶和华的名; 耶和华的众仆人哪! 你们都要赞美他。
2 在耶和华殿中侍候的, 在我们 神殿的院里侍候的, 你们要赞美他。
3 你们要赞美耶和华, 因耶和华本是良善的; 你们要歌颂他的名, 因为他的名是美好的。
4 因为耶和华拣选了雅各归他自己, 拣选了以色列作他自己的产业。
5 我确实知道耶和华是伟大的, 我们的主超越万神之上。
6 在天上, 在地上, 在海中, 在一切深处, 耶和华喜欢什么, 就作什么。
7 他使云雾从地极上升, 发出闪电随雨而来, 又从他的府库吹出风来。
8 他把埃及头生的, 无论人或牲畜都击杀了。
9 埃及啊! 他在你当中施行神迹和奇事, 惩罚法老和他所有的臣仆。
10 他击杀了多国的民, 杀戮了强悍的王,
11 就是亚摩利王西宏、巴珊王噩, 和迦南列国的王。
12 他把他们的地赐给了自己的子民以色列作产业。
13 耶和华啊! 你的名存到永远; 耶和华啊! 你可记念的名留存万代。
14 因为耶和华要为自己的子民伸冤, 他要怜悯自己的仆人。
15 列国的偶像是金的银的, 是人手所做的。
16 有口却不能说话, 有眼却不能看,
17 有耳却不能听, 口中也没有气息。
18 做偶像的必和它们一样, 所有倚靠它们的也必这样。
19 以色列家啊! 你们要称颂耶和华; 亚伦家啊! 你们要称颂耶和华;
20 利未家啊! 你们要称颂耶和华; 敬畏耶和华的, 你们要称颂耶和华。
21 从锡安来的耶和华, 就是住在耶路撒冷的, 是应当称颂的。你们要赞美耶和华。
