Bless the Lord, O my soul!
我的心哪!你要稱頌耶和華!
O Lord, my God, thou art very great;
耶和華我的神啊,你為至大。
thou art clothed with honor and majesty:
你以尊榮威嚴為衣服,
who coverest thyself with light as with a garment;
披上亮光,如披外袍,
who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
鋪張穹蒼,如鋪幔子,
who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters;
在水中立樓閣的棟梁,
who maketh the clouds his chariot;
用云彩為車輦,
who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
借著風的翅膀而行,
who maketh his angels spirits, his ministers a flaming fire;
以風為使者,以火焰為仆役,
who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever.
將地立在根基上,使地永不動搖。
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
你用深水遮蓋地面,猶如衣裳,諸水高過山嶺。
At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
你的斥責一發(fā),水便奔逃;你的雷聲一發(fā),水便奔流,
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
隨山上翻,隨谷下流,歸你為它所安定之地。
Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over;
你定了界限,使水不能過去,
that they turn not again to cover the earth.
不再轉回遮蓋地面。
He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
耶和華使泉源涌在山谷,流在山間,
They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
使野地的走獸有水喝,野驢得解其渴。
