Psalms 阿肋路亚! 2 Praise the LORD, my soul; I shall praise the LORD all my life, sing praise to my God while I live. 3 I Put no trust in princes, in mere mortals powerless to save. 4 When they breathe their last, they return to the earth; that day all their planning comes to nothing. 5 Happy those whose help is Jacob's God, whose hope is in the LORD, their God, 6 The maker of heaven and earth, the seas and all that is in them, Who keeps faith forever, 上主创造了上天与下土,海洋和其中的一切所属。他持守信实,必直到永久。 7 secures justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free; 上主为被欺的人作辩护,上主给饥饿的人赐食物,上主使被囚的人得自由。 8 the LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous. 9 The LORD protects the stranger, sustains the orphan and the widow, but thwarts the way of the wicked. 上主对旅客加以保护,上主支持孤儿和寡妇,上主迷惑恶人的道路。 10 The LORD shall reign forever, your God, Zion, through all generations! Hallelujah! 惟愿上主永远为君为王!熙雍!你的天主万寿无疆。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [Psalm 146] A hymn of someone who has learned there is no other source of strength except the merciful God.
