(12-14) 詩 Psalm 103:1-13

和合本NKJV
大衛的詩

1 我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華,
      凡在我裏面的,
      也要稱頌祂的聖名!

2 我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華,
      不可忘記祂的一切恩惠!

3 祂赦免你的一切罪孽,
      醫治你的一切疾病。

4 祂救贖你的命脫離死亡,
      以仁愛和慈悲為你的冠冕。

5 祂用美物使你所願的得以知足,
      以致你如鷹返老還童。

6 耶和華施行公義,
      為一切受屈的人伸冤。

7 祂使摩西知道祂的法則,
      叫以色列人曉得祂的作為。

8 耶和華有憐憫,有恩典,
      不輕易發怒,且有豐盛的慈愛。

9 祂不長久責備,
      也不永遠懷怒。

10 祂沒有按我們的罪過待我們,
      也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。

11 天離地何等的高,
      祂的慈愛向敬畏祂的人也是何等的大!

12 東離西有多遠,
      祂叫我們的過犯離我們也有多遠!

13 父親怎樣憐恤他的兒女,
      耶和華也怎樣憐恤敬畏祂的人!
A Psalm of David.

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul;
      And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
      And forget not all His benefits:

3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
      Who heals all your diseases,

4 Who redeems your life from destruction.
      Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
      So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 The LORD executes righteousness
      And justice for all who are oppressed.

7 He made known His ways to Moses,
      His acts to the children of Israel.

8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,
      Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9 He will not always strive with us,
      Nor will He keep His anger forever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins.
      Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
      So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

12 As far as the east is from the west,
      So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father pities his children,
      So the LORD pities those who fear Him.


He satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
詩 Psalm 103:5 祂用美物使你所願的得以知足,以致你如鷹返老還童。 He satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

詩人大衛在全篇詩裏沒有一句代求的禱告,從頭到尾都是讚美,而且是發自內心深處的稱頌,一氣呵成,述說神的作為,讚揚祂的美德。我們也要從心底湧出讚美,數算神的恩典,稱頌祂的聖名。讚美神,祂是公義的,為受屈的人伸冤,為祂的百姓頒佈了律例典章;讚美神,祂的慈愛高及諸天,從罪惡中把我們救拔出來,並使過犯遠離我們;讚美神,祂是唯一能真正滿足我們的神,祂以恩典為我們年歲的冠冕;讚美神,祂作憐恤我們的父,我們作敬畏祂的兒女!The psalmist David did not include a single supplication in this psalm. Everything is praise from the beginning to the end, which sprang forth from the depth of his inner soul, and finished in one breathe, declaring the works of God, and praising his virtues. Our praises should also spring out from the bottom of our hearts, counting His blessings, and praising His holy name. Praise God, He is righteous - He executes justice for all who are oppressed, and He gave out decrees and commandments to His people; praise God, His mercy is high as the heavens - He saved us from sins, and removed our transgressions from us; praise God, He is the only one who can truly satisfy us, and He crowned the days of our lives with mercy and blessings; praise God, He becomes Father who pities us, and we become His children who fear Him!
