1 Give praise to the Lord; for it is good to make melody to our God; praise is pleasing and beautiful.
2 The Lord is building up Jerusalem; he makes all the outlaws of Israel come together.
3 He makes the broken-hearted well, and puts oil on their wounds.
4 He sees the number of the stars; he gives them all their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and great his power; there is no limit to his wisdom.
6 The Lord gives help to the poor in spirit; but he sends sinners down in shame.
7 Make songs of praise to the Lord; make melody to our God with instruments of music.
8 By his hand the heaven is covered with clouds and rain is stored up for the earth; he makes the grass tall on the mountains.
9 He gives food to every beast, and to the young ravens in answer to their cry.
10 He has no delight in the strength of a horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.
12 Give praise to the Lord, O Jerusalem; give praise to your God, O Zion.
13 He has made strong the iron bands of your doors; he has sent blessings on your children inside your walls.
14 He gives peace in all your land, making your stores full of fat grain.
15 He sends out his orders to the earth; his word goes out quickly.
16 He gives snow like wool; he sends out ice-drops like dust.
17 He sends down ice like raindrops: water is made hard by his cold.
18 At the outgoing of his word, the ice is turned to water; when he sends out his wind, there is a flowing of waters.
19 He makes his word clear to Jacob, teaching Israel his laws and his decisions.
20 He has not done these things for any other nation: and as for his laws, they have no knowledge of them. Let the Lord be praised.
1 你们要赞美耶和华。歌颂我们的 神， 这是多么美善， 赞美他， 这是美好的， 是合宜的。
2 耶和华重建耶路撒冷， 召聚被赶散的以色列人。
3 他医好伤心的人， 裹好他们的伤处。
4 他数点星辰的数目， 一一给它们起名。
5 我们的主伟大， 大有能力； 他的智慧无法测度。
6 耶和华扶持谦卑的人， 却把恶人丢弃在地。
7 你们要以感谢的心向耶和华歌唱， 用琴向我们的 神歌颂。
8 他以密云遮盖天空， 为大地预备雨水， 使群山长满青草。
9 他把食物赐给走兽， 也赐给啼叫的小乌鸦。
10 他喜欢的不是马的力大， 他喜悦的不是人的腿快。
11 耶和华喜悦敬畏他的人， 喜悦仰望他慈爱的人。
12 耶路撒冷啊！ 你要颂赞耶和华； 锡安哪！ 你要赞美你的 神。
13 因为他坚固了你城门的门闩， 赐福在你中间的儿女。
14 他使你的边界平靖； 用上好的麦子使你饱足。
15 他向地发出命令， 他的话迅速颁行。
16 他降下像羊毛一样的雪， 撒下像炉灰一样的霜。
17 他拋下像碎屑一样的冰雹； 面对他发出的寒冷， 谁能抵受得住呢？
18 他发出命令， 这一切就都融化； 他使风刮起， 水就流动。
19 他把自己的话向雅各颁布， 把自己的律例和典章向以色列颁布。
20 他从没有这样对待其他各国； 他们都不知道他的典章。你们要赞美耶和华。
