The Psalms  ("sarms")  (100 - 150)


Psalm 100

Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing for joy.

Know that he, the Lord, is God. He made us, we belong to him.
We are his people, the sheep of his flock.

Go within his gates, giving thanks.
Enter his temple with songs of praise.
Give thanks to him and bless his name.

Indeed, how good is the Lord,
eternal his merciful love.
He is faithful from age to age.

第 100 篇

舉世齊向主歡呼。 歡歡喜喜事奉主。
來到他跟前歡唱。

知道他,主,是神。
他創造我們,我們屬於他。
我們都是他子民,他羊群裏的羔羊
。

感謝進入他的門。 歌頌進入他的殿。
謝他也頌他的名
。

主你確是真的好,他的慈愛永長存。
他是信實存萬代
。

 

Dear Lord, please help us to serve you with gladness

親愛的主,請幫助我們愉快地事奉你


Psalm 101

My song is of mercy and justice.
I sing to you, O Lord.

I will try to walk with blameless heart.
I will try to give my attention to what is good, not what is bad.

People who slander others, people of proud looks,
these will not be my friends.

People who are good and do good,
these will be my friends.

第 101 篇

我歌頌慈恩與公正。 噢主,我對你歌唱。

我會努力行事無愧於心。
我會努力專注那些好,不想那些壞
。

出口誹謗他人、眼目高傲的人們,
當不成我的朋友
。

品行端正的好人,這些會結交成朋友。

Dear Lord, please help me to avoid bad company

親愛的主,請幫助我遠離損友


Psalm 102

O Lord, listen to my prayer in my distress.
Do not hide your face from me.

For my days are vanishing like smoke,
my bones burn away like a fire.

I forget to eat my bread.
My skin clings to my bones.

All day long my foes revile me.
Those who hate me use my name as a curse.

But you, O Lord, will endure for ever.
You will arise and have mercy on Sion.

You will hear the groans of the prisoners
and free those condemned to die.

I pray to you: "Do not take me away before my time has come,
you whose days last from age to age.

第 102 篇

噢主,在我困苦受難時,聆聽我的禱告。
不要對我掩藏你的臉。

因為我的日子將會如煙的消逝,
我的骸骨像火般燒掉
。

我忘記進食。 我的皮緊貼骨頭。

我的仇敵整日辱駡我。
那些僧恨我的人,用我的名字來咀咒。

噢主,但你會永存萬世。 你會起來憐憫Sion。

你會垂聽囚犯的呻吟並釋放被判死罪的人。

我向主祈求說:「在我大限來臨前,
請不要帶我離世,你的歲月永無盡
。」

Lord, please help people who are in great distress 

親愛的主,請幫助處於困境的人們


Psalm 103

My soul, give thanks to the Lord.
All my being, bless his holy name.

My soul, give thanks to the Lord
and never forget all his blessings.

It is he who forgives all your guilt,
who heals every one of your ills.

It is he who fills your life with good things,
renewing your youth like an eagle's life.

The Lord is compassion and love,
slow to anger and rich in mercy.

As the heavens are high above the earth
so strong is his love for those who love him.

As far as the East is from the West,
so far does he remove our sins.

As a father has compassion on his children,
the Lord has pity on all who love and honor him.

Give thanks to the Lord, all his angels,
who heed the voice of his word.

Give thanks to the Lord, everyone and everything.
My soul, give thanks to the Lord!

 第 103 篇

我的靈魂感謝主。 全身心讚頌他的聖名。

我的靈魂感謝主,永不忘記他的一切恩賜。

是他赦免你所有的罪,他治癒你各種疾病。

是他使用美物滿足你的人生,
賦予你活力,壯健如鷹的生命
。

主是憐憫和慈愛,不易發怒和充滿慈恩。

上天離地有多高,他的慈愛也多深,
施予敬畏他的人
。

東離西多遠,
他使我們的罪離我們也多遠。

如父親對他兒子的憐愛,
主對愛他和榮耀他的人給同樣的憐憫

所有聽從他說話的天使,感謝主

萬物感謝主。 我的靈魂感謝主!

Thank you, Lord, for your love and compassion

主,感謝你的愛和憐憫


Psalm 104

Bless the Lord, my soul!
Lord God, how great you are.

You make the clouds your chariot.
You walk on the wings of the wind.

You make springs gush forth in the valleys.
They give drink to all the animals of the field.

You make grass grow for the cattle
and plants to provide food for people.

You give us wine to cheer our hearts
and oil to make our faces shine.

You made the moon to mark the months.
The sun knows the time for its setting.

How many are your works, O Lord.
In wisdom you have made them all.

The earth is full of your riches
and the sea is swarming with life.

All things, great and small, look to you for food.
You open your hand, they have their fill.

You send forth your spirit, and life is created.
You renew the face of the earth.

I will sing to the Lord all my life.
May my thoughts be pleasing to him.

第 104 篇

我的靈魂讚頌主! 主神你是多麼偉大。

你以雲做你戰車。 你在風翼上行走。

你使泉水在山谷湧出。 供田間所有動物喝用。

你使草為牲畜生長,而植物為人們提供食物。

你賜我們酒,舒暢我們的心,
和賜油膏使我們臉容光亮
。

你造月亮標示月份。 太陽自知日落時。

噢主,你所做的何其多。 你全以智慧造成。

地上充滿你的財富,海洋也擠滿生命。

萬物大小,指望你供給食糧,
你張開你的手,他們有足夠的糧食
。

你差遣你的靈來,生命就得以創造。
你赋予地面新的生命和活力。

我會一生歌頌主。 願我的思想取悅他。

Bless the Lord, my soul!

讚頌主,我的靈魂!


Psalm 105

Give thanks to the Lord, 
make known his deeds among all the peoples.

O sing to him, sing his praise.
Tell all his wonderful works.

Consider the Lord and his strength.
Constantly seek his face.

Never forget how the Lord has helped us in the past,
how he has protected Israel from its beginning till now.

第 105 篇

感謝主,在萬民中宣揚他的作為。

噢歌頌他,歌頌他的榮耀。 述說他所有的奇功。

自我的生命開始你如何愛護和保護我

O give thanks to the Lord for he is good.
His great love is without end.

They are happy who do what is right,
who at all times remember what is just.

they forgot the greatness of God's love.

Each time they strayed, God forgave them.
But still they continued to forget God who was their saviour,
God who had done such great things for them in Egypt.

第 106 篇

噢感謝主,因他善良。 他偉大的愛無休止。

Psalm 107

O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His great love is without end.

Let them say this, those the Lord has helped,
people from east and west, north and south.

Some people wandered in the desert, 
lost and unable to find their way to safety.

In their hunger and thirst they cried to the Lord for help.
He rescued them and showed them the way to safety.

Let them thank the Lord for his love,
for he fills the hungry with good things.

Some people were prisoners in misery and chains,
living in darkness and gloom.

In their distress they cried to the Lord for help.
He rescued them and restored their freedom.

Let them thank the Lord for his goodness,
for he shatters the iron bars of prisons.

Some people were sick on account of their sins,
unable to eat,  and close to death.

They cried to the Lord in their need.
He healed them and saved them from the grave.

Let them thank the Lord for his love,
for the wonders he does for us.

Some people sailed to the sea in ships
and were caught in terrifying storms.

They cried to the Lord in their need
and he calmed the sea and wind.

Let them thank the Lord for his love,
for the wonders he does for us.

Whoever is wise should meditate on these things
and reflect on the love of the Lord.

第 107 篇

噢感謝主,因他善良。 他偉大的愛無休止。

讓他們說,主救助的人,由東至西,南至北。

有些人在曠野飄泊,

While I pray for them, they show me hatred.

I have become an object of scorn.
Help me, Lord my God.

第 109、110 篇

噢,我所讚頌的神,不要沉默,
因為人們用惡毒的話中傷我

please give me the grace to pray for them

the maker of heaven and earth.

I love the Lord for he has heard the cry of my appeal.
He turned his ear to me in the day when I called him.

They surrounded me, sorrow, distress and the snares of death.
I was helpless, so the Lord saved me.

Calm down my soul, for the Lord has been good.
I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.

How can I repay the Lord for his goodness to me?

O precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his faithful.
Lord, you have loosened my bonds. I am your servant.

that I may understand the beauty of your word.

Lord, when I'm worried or in trouble,
your word revives me and gives me strength.

than silver and gold.

The unfolding of your word gives light
and teaches simple people.

I call to the Lord in the hour of my distress:
"Lord save me from people who speak with lying lips".

Long enough have I been dwelling with those who hate peace.
I am for peace, but they are for fighting.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains.
From where shall come my help?

My help shall come from the Lord
who made heaven and earth.

The Lord is our guard and our shade.
Day and night we shall not be afraid.

The Lord will guard our going and coming
both now and forever.

第 120、121 篇

在我危難時,我呼求主:

I will ask for your good.

Lord, may your peace be in our hearts and homes

主,願你的平安在我們的心和家裏


Psalm 123

To you have I lifted up my eyes,
you who dwell in the heavens.

My eyes, like the eyes of slaves
on the hand of their lords.

Like the eyes of a servant on the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes are on the Lord our God till he show us mercy.

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy.
We are filled with contempt.

Indeed all too full is our soul with the scorn of the rich,
with the proud man's disdain.

第 123 篇

我剛舉目向你,你居住在諸天上。

我雙眼,如奴隸雙眼看望他們主人的手。

如婢女雙眼看望她女主人的手,所以我們
雙眼注視着主我們的神,直到他憐憫我們。

憐憫我們,主,憐憫。 我們受盡鄙視。

真的我們的靈魂已經飽受富人的恥笑、
驕傲者的欺凌。

Lord, please protect poor people 
from being exploited by rich people

主,請保護窮人免被富人剝削


Psalm 124

"If the Lord had not been on our side",
this is Israel's song.

If the Lord had not been on our side
when people rose against us,

then would they have swallowed us alive
when they were angry with us.

Blessed be the Lord who did not let us become
a prey for their teeth.

Our life, like a bird, has escaped
from the snare of the hunter.

Indeed the snare has been broken
and we have escaped.

Our help is in the name of the Lord
who made heaven and earth. 

第 124 篇

「如果主沒支持我們,」這是以色列的頌歌。

如果主沒支持我們,當人們起來攻擊我們,

那時他們會生吞我們當他們對我們發怒。

for all the times you have rescued me from trouble

so the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.

羣山環抱着耶路撒冷,主也環抱他的百姓,
從現在直到永恆。

Lord, please help us be more aware
 of your protecting presence

主,請幫助我們更察覺你的保護。


Psalm 126

When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage,
it seemed like a dream.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
on our lips there were songs.

What marvels the Lord worked for us.
Indeed we were glad.

Those who are sowing in tears
will sing when they reap.

They go out, full of tears, carrying seed for the sowing.
They come back, full of song, carrying their sheaves.

第 126 篇

當主從奴役中解救Sion時,這似一場夢。

那時我們滿口笑聲,我們的雙唇唱歌。

主為我們作了何等奇事。 我們確實歡喜。

那些流著淚播種的人,收成時會歌唱。

他們流淚出去,帶着種子去播種。
他們唱着歌,背着禾捆回來,。  

Dear God, please bless all people who are sorrowful as they work

親愛的神,請祝福工作時感到悲傷的人


Psalm 127

If the Lord does not build the house, 
in vain do its builders labor.

If the Lord does not watch over the city,
in vain does the watchman keep vigil.

Success comes not from earlier rising or from going later to rest,
but from the Lord's blessing.

Success is from the Lord
who blesses the womb of his beloved while she sleeps.

Truly, children are a gift from the Lord,
a blessing, the fruit of the womb.

第 127 篇

若主不建造房屋,建造者是白費勞苦。

若主不守護城,守城者是徒然護守。

成功不是因早起或晚睡,而是靠主的降福。

成功是靠主,他賜所愛者安睡。

的確,孩子是主賜予的禮物,一個恩賜,
子宮的果實。

Lord, many people these days don't want children. Please help such people understand that children are a blessing

主,現時很多人不生育孩子。
請幫助這些人明白孩子是一種恩賜


Psalm 128

O blessed are those who love the Lord and walk in his ways.

By the labor of your hands you shall eat.
You will be happy and prosper:

your wife like a fruitful vine in the heart of your house;
your children like shoots of the olive, around your table.

Indeed thus shall be blessed
the people who love and honor the Lord.

May the Lord bless you from Zion all the days of your life.
May you see your children's children in a happy Jerusalem!

On Israel, peace!

第 128 篇

噢祝福那些喜愛主和遵行他道路的人。

你會吃你雙手賺來的食物,你會開心和昌盛。

你的妻子在家中像一株結滿果實的葡萄樹;
你的子女像橄欖樹的枝葉圍繞着你的桌子。

的確那些愛和敬重主的人都會蒙受祝福。

願主從Sion祝福你一生。
願你看見你的子孫在歡樂的耶路撒冷。

願以色列平安!

Dear Lord, may all married people
 live to see their children's children

 

親愛的主,願所有結了婚的人能見到子孫


Psalm 130

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. 
Lord, hear my voice.

If you, O Lord, should record our guilt,
Lord, who would survive?

But with you is found forgiveness.
For this we revere you.

My soul is waiting for the Lord.
I count on his word.

My soul is longing for the Lord
more than watchman for the daybreak.

With the Lord there is mercy
and fullness of redemption.

Israel indeed he will redeem
from all its iniquity.

第 130 篇

噢主,我由深淵向你呼號。
主,聽我的呼聲。

噢主,你若記錄我們的罪過,
主,誰會幸存?

但你寬恕為懷。 為此我們敬畏你。

我的靈魂正等待主,我信靠他的話。

我的靈魂渴望主比看守者渴望黎明更甚。

主富於仁慈和充滿救恩。

他確實會救贖以色列脫離它一切的罪過。

Lord, please forgive me for all the bad things I have done

主,請寬恕我所犯的一切過錯


Psalm 133

How good and how pleasant it is
when people live in unity.

It is like precious oil upon the head,
running down upon the beard.

It is like the dew of Hermon
which falls on the heights of Zion.

For there the Lord gives his blessing,
life for ever.

第 133 篇

人們和睦相處是多麼好和多麼愉快。

像在頭上珍貴的油,流到鬍鬚上。

又像Hermon山的甘露降在Sion的山峰。

因主在那裏賜福,永恆的生命。

Dear Lord, please help all the peoples of the world

O come, bless the Lord,
all you who serve the Lord,

in the courts of the house of our God.

Lift up your hands to heaven
and bless the Lord through the night.

May the Lord bless you from Zion,
he who made both heaven and earth.

第 134 篇

噢來,讚美主,你們所有事奉主的人,

praise him, servants of the Lord.

Praise the Lord for he is good.
Sing a psalm to his name for he is loving.

I know the Lord is great. He does whatever he wills
in heaven, on earth, in the seas.

Pagan idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.

They have mouths but they cannot speak.
They have eyes but they cannot see.

Sons of Israel, do not trust in useless idols.
Sons of Aaron, trust only in our Creator and Lord.

to know and love you

Psalm 137

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and cried, remembering Zion.
On the poplars that grew there we hung up our harps.

For it was there that they asked us, our captors, for songs.
"Sing to us", they said, "one of Zion's songs".

O how could we sing the song of the Lord on alien soil?
If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand wither.

O let my tongue cleave to my mouth
if I remember you not, Jerusalem, above all my joys.

第 137 篇

我們坐在巴比倫河畔,一想起Sion就哭。
我們把豎琴掛在長於那裡的楊柳。

因有豎琴,俘虜我們的人要求我們唱歌。
他們說:「為我們唱歌,一曲Sion的歌。」

噢我們身處異鄉怎能唱主的歌?
如果我忘記你,耶路撒冷,讓我的右手枯萎。

噢讓我的舌頭粘着我口,如果我不以思念你,
耶路撒冷,為我最大的喜樂。

Lord, please help people who have been exiled 
from their homeland

主,請幫助那些從家園被放逐的人


Psalm 138

I thank you, Lord, with all my heart.
You have heard the words of my mouth.

With the angels I will bless you.
I will adore you in your holy temple.

I thank you for your faithfulness and love
which are far above what we can understand.

On the day I called you answered.
You increased the strength of my soul.

All earth's kings shall thank you
when they hear the words of your mouth.

They shall sing of the Lord's ways:
"How great is the glory of the Lord!"

Though I walk in the midst of affliction
you give me life and frustrate my foes.

Your love, O Lord, is eternal.
Do not abandon us whom you have made. 

第 138 篇

我全心感謝你,主。 你巳聽過我口中的話。

我會與天使一起讚頌你。
我會在你的聖殿內敬拜你。

我感謝你的忠誠和愛,
這都遠遠高於我們可以理解的。

那日我呼叫,你回應。 
你增加我靈魂的力
量。

地上萬君會感謝你當他們聽到你口中的話。

他們會歌頌主的作為︰

Psalm 139

O Lord, you search me and you know me.
You know my resting and my rising.

You know exactly what's going on in my life,
all my ways are an open book to you.

Before ever a word is on my tongue,
you know, O Lord, what I'm going to say.

Your knowledge is beyond my understanding,
too high, beyond my reach.

It was you who created my being,
knit me together in my mother's womb.

I thank you for the wonder of my life,
for the wonders of all your creation.

第 139 篇

噢主,你探查我而你認識我。
你知道我的作息。

你對我的生命瞭如指掌,
你對我的所作所為一目了然。

我的話還沒說,噢主,你已知我要說甚麼。

你的知識超越我所能明白,太高,捉摸不到。

是你創造我的生命,在我母腹中把我接合好。

為我生命的奇蹟和所有你創造的奇蹟感謝你。

Lord, thank you for the gift of life. 
Please help me follow the path to eternal life

主,多謝你恩賜生命。
請幫助我遵行永生之路


Psalms 140 - 143

Lord, save me from people who do evil,
you who do justice for the needy.

I have no way out of this situation.
And no one wants to help me.

Lord, I beg you tonight to make haste and give me an answer,
for my spirit fails within me.

In the morning let me know your love
for I put my trust in you.

第 140 – 143 篇

主,救我脫離作惡者,你為需要的人伸張正義。

who gives me strength for every situation.

you who so often rescued David your servant.

Happy the people whose God is the Lord.
Please continue to bless your people, Lord.

Let our sons flourish like saplings
grown tall and strong from their youth;

our daughters graceful as columns,
adorned as though for a palace.

Let our crops and stock be blessed.
May there be no sound of weeping on our streets.

讚頌主,我的岩石,
在任何情況他都賜我力量。

他是我的愛,我的城堡。
他是我的保護,我的救主。

是你經常拯救你的僕人David。

他們的神是主,這些人是喜樂的。
主,請繼續祝福你的子民。

讓我們的兒子從幼就像小樹苗茁壯成長
生長高大和壯健;

我們的女兒像裝飾宮殿的圓柱般優雅。

讓我們的農作物和牲畜受祝福。
願在我們的街上沒有哭泣聲。

Don't let us ever forget your love

I will bless your name day after day.

The Lord is great, worthy of all praise.
His greatness cannot be measured.

Age to age shall proclaim your works,
shall speak of your splendor and glory.

slow to anger, abounding in love.

How good is the Lord to all,
compassionate to all his creatures.

All your creatures shall thank you, O Lord,
and tell all the world of your love.

The Lord is faithful in all his words
and loving in all his deeds.

The Lord supports all who fall
and raises all who are bowed down.

The eyes of all creatures look to you
and you give them their food each day.

who call on him from their hearts.

Let the whole world bless the Lord's holy name,
for ever, for ages unending.

Psalm 146

My soul, give praise to the Lord.
I will praise the Lord all my days.

Put no trust in princes,
in mortal men in whom there is no help.

Take their breath, they return to clay
and their plans that day come to nothing.

They are happy who are helped by Jacob's God,
whose hope is in the Lord our God,

who alone made heaven and earth,
the seas and all they contain.

It is he who gives bread to the hungry,
the Lord, who sets prisoners free.

It is the Lord who gives sight to the blind,
who raises up those who are bowed down.

It is the Lord who protects the stranger
and upholds the widow and orphan.

It is the Lord who loves the just
but thwarts the path of the wicked.

The Lord will reign for ever,
Zion's God, from age to age.

第 146 篇

我的靈魂讚美主。 我會終生讚美主。

不信賴王侯、那些沒幫助的世人。

氣一斷,他們歸於塵土,
他們的計劃當日就幻滅。

受Jacob的神幫助的人是喜樂的,
他們的希望在主我們的神,

他獨自創造了天與地、海和其中所有萬物。

是他給饑餓者食物,主,他讓囚犯獲得自由。

是主恢復失明者的視力,
是他高舉那些表示敬意的人。

是主保護異邦人及維護寡婦和孤兒。

是主喜愛正義的人但挫敗惡人的計劃。

主會永遠統治,Sion的神,世世代代。

Lord, please increase my trust and faith in you

主,請增加我對你的信賴和信德


Psalm 147

Praise the Lord for he is good.
Sing to our God for he is loving. To him our praise is due.

The Lord builds up Jerusalem
and brings back Israel's exiles.

He heals the broken-hearted
and binds up all their wounds.

The Lord raises the lowly
and humbles the wicked.

He fixes the number of the stars.
He calls each one by name.

Our Lord is great and almighty.
His wisdom can never be measured.

He covers the heavens with clouds.
He prepares rain for the earth,

making mountains sprout with grass
and with plants to serve our needs.

His delight is not in horses
nor his pleasure in warriors' strength.

The Lord delights in those who love and honor him,
in those who wait for his love.

使群山長出青草和植物供給我們所需。
