| 1 你們要讚美耶和華！ 我的心哪，你要讚美耶和華！ 2 我一生要讚美耶和華。 我還活的時候， 要歌頌我的 神。 3 你們不要倚靠君王， 不要倚靠世人， 他一點不能幫助。 4 他的氣一斷，就歸回塵土； 他所打算的，當日就消滅了。 5 以雅各的 神為幫助、 仰望耶和華他 神的， 這人便為有福！ 6 耶和華造天、地、海和其中的萬物， 祂守誠實，直到永遠。 7 祂為受屈的伸冤， 賜食物與飢餓的。 耶和華釋放被囚的。 8 耶和華開了瞎子的眼睛。 耶和華扶起被壓下的人。 耶和華喜愛義人。 9 耶和華保護寄居的， 扶持孤兒和寡婦， 卻使惡人的道路彎曲。 10 耶和華要作王，直到永遠。 錫安哪,你的 神要作王， 直到萬代！ 你們要讚美耶和華！ | 1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul! 2 While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 3 Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish. 5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the LORD his God, 6 Who made the heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, 7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners. 8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; The LORD raises those who are bowed down; The LORD loves the righteous. 9 The LORD watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down. 10 The LORD shall reign forever - Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD! |

| 詩 Psalm 146:3-4 你們不要倚靠君王，不要倚靠世人，他一點不能幫助。他的氣一斷，就歸回塵土；他所打算的，當日就消滅了。 Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; in that very day his plans perish. | |
| 從詩篇146篇開始一直到整卷詩篇結束都是以『你們要讚美耶和華』作開始和結尾，充滿了對神的讚美。詩篇選擇以讚美神為結束，表達出在經歷了人生一切事情之後，仍然對神充滿信心和盼望。讓我們從這五篇詩篇裏學習如何真實地讚美神，不要只是空洞地重複『讚美神、感謝神』而不知道讚美祂什麼，感謝祂什麼。讚美神，祂是歷史的主宰，因為至高神在人的國中掌權，祂是萬王之王、萬主之主，甚至連王的心在耶和華手中也如隴溝的水隨意流轉；讚美神，祂是人生的主宰，祂使人死，也使人活，使人貧窮，也使人富足，使人卑微，也使人高貴，沒有人能躲避祂的面；讚美神，祂是值得等候的神，就是少年人也要疲乏困倦，強壯的也必全然跌倒，但那等候耶和華的必從新得力，必如鷹展翅上騰，奔跑卻不困倦，行走卻不疲乏；讚美神，祂是值得倚靠的神，有人靠車，有人靠馬，但我們要提到耶和華我們神的名，不是靠勢力，不是靠才能，乃是倚靠神的靈方能成事；讚美神，祂充滿公義、充滿慈愛，祂傳福音給貧窮的人，報告被擄的得釋放，瞎眼的得看見，受壓制的得自由，報告神悅納人的禧年；讚美神，祂長久活著，作王直到永遠！ | From Psalm 146 till the end of the book of Psalms, all psalms start and end with "praise the LORD", and are full of praises to God. The book of Psalms chose to end with praises, which expressed complete faith and hope towards God after going through everything in life. Let us learn how to truly praise God from these 5 psalms, instead of emptily repeating "praise God, thank God" without knowing what to praise Him nor what to thank Him. Praise God, He is the master of history: because the Most High rules in the kingdom of men; He is the king of kings and the lord of lords; even the king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, like the rivers of water, He turns it wherever He wishes. Praise God, He is the master of life: He kills and makes alive; He makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up, nobody can flee from His presence. Praise God, He is worthy of our waiting: even the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Praise God, He is worthy of our trust: some trusts in chariots, and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the LORD our God; not by might nor by power, but by the Spirit of God. Praise God, He is full of righteousness and full of lovingkindness: He preached the gospel to the poor, proclaimed liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, set at liberty those who are oppressed, and proclaimed the acceptable year of the LORD. Praise God, He lives forever and reigns forever! |
