1. 阿利路亚!歌颂我们的神,这本为美善;赞美的话是合宜的。 Hallelujah! For it is good to sing psalms to our God; For it is pleasant; praise is fitting.
2. 耶和华建造耶路撒冷,聚集以色列被赶散的人。 Jehovah builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel.
3. 祂医好伤心的人,缠裹他们的伤处。 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.
4. 祂数点星宿的数目,一一给它们起名。 He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by their names.
5. 我们的主为大,大有能力;祂的聪明无穷无尽。 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
6. 耶和华扶持卑微的人,将恶人贬降于地。 Jehovah uplifts the lowly; He brings the wicked down to the ground.
7. 你们要以感谢向耶和华歌唱,用琴向我们的神歌颂; Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing psalms to our God with the lyre;
8. 祂用云遮天,为地备雨,使草生长在山上, Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who causes grass to grow on the mountains,
9. 赐食物给走兽和啼叫的小乌鸦。 Who gives to the beast its food, And to the young ravens who cry.
10. 祂不喜悦马的力大,不喜爱人的腿快。 He takes no delight in the strength of horses; Nor pleasure in the legs of man.
11. 耶和华喜爱敬畏祂和盼望祂慈爱的人。 Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His lovingkindness.
12. 耶路撒冷阿,你要颂赞耶和华;锡安哪,你要称颂你的神; Laud Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise your God, O Zion;
13. 因为祂坚固了你城门的门闩,赐福给你中间的儿女。 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your children within you.
14. 祂使你境内平安;用上好的麦子使你饱足。 He makes peace in your borders; He satisfies you with the finest wheat.
15. 祂向地发出命令;祂的话速速传开。 He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.
16. 祂降雪如羊毛,撒霜如炉灰。 He gives snow like wool; He scatters frost like ashes;
17. 祂掷下冰雹如碎渣;祂发出寒冷,谁能受得住呢? He casts His hail like crumbs-Who can stand before His cold?
18. 祂一发出祂的话,这些就都融化;祂使风刮起,水便流动。 He sends forth His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow; the waters flow.
19. 祂将祂的话指示雅各,将祂的律例和典章指示以色列。 He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances to Israel.
20. 别国祂都没有这样对待过;至于祂的典章,他们向来都不知道。阿利路亚! He has not dealt so with any other nation; And as for His ordinances, they have not known them. Hallelujah!
