诗篇 135
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
赞美之歌(A)
135 1-2 你们要赞美耶和华！
赞美祂的名！
耶和华的仆人啊，
在耶和华的殿中，
在我们上帝的院宇中事奉的人啊，
你们要赞美祂！
3 你们要赞美耶和华，
因为祂是美善的；
你们要歌颂祂的名，
因为祂的名美好无比。
4 祂拣选雅各做祂的子民，
拣选以色列作祂的产业。
5 我知道耶和华伟大，
我们的主超越一切神明。
6 耶和华在天上、地下、海洋、
深渊按自己的旨意行事。
7 祂使云雾从地极上升，
发出电光，带来雨水，
从祂的仓库带出风来。
8 祂击杀了埃及人的长子和头胎的牲畜。
9 祂在埃及行神迹奇事，
惩罚法老和他的一切臣仆。
10 祂毁灭列国，
杀戮强大的君王：
11 亚摩利王西宏、巴珊王噩和迦南所有的君王。
12 祂把这些国家的土地赐给祂的以色列子民，
作为他们的产业。
13 耶和华啊，
你的名永远长存，
你的威名传到万代。
14 因为耶和华必为祂的子民申冤，
怜悯祂的仆人。
15 外族人的神像是人用金银造的。
16 它们有口不能说，有眼不能看，
17 有耳不能听，口中毫无气息。
18 那些制造它们、信靠它们的人也会和它们一样。
19 以色列人啊，
你们要称颂耶和华！
亚伦的子孙啊，
你们要称颂耶和华！
20 利未的子孙啊，
你们要称颂耶和华！
你们敬畏耶和华的人都要称颂祂！[a]
21 要赞美锡安的耶和华，
赞美住在耶路撒冷的耶和华。
你们要赞美耶和华！

Psalm 135
EasyEnglish Bible
A song to praise God
135 Hallelujah![a]
Praise the name of the Lord!
Praise him, you servants of the Lord!
2 You serve the Lord in his temple.
You serve him in the temple yards.
3 The Lord is good, so praise him!
His name is good and great,
so praise him with songs!
4 The Lord chose Jacob's family for himself.
Yes, he chose Israel's people to belong to him.[b]
5 I know that the Lord is great.
Our Lord is greater than any other god.
6 He does whatever he decides to do.
He rules the sky and the earth,
and the deepest parts of the sea.
7 The Lord causes clouds to rise up all over the earth.
He sends lightning with the storms of rain.
He sends out the wind from its place,
so that it blows where he chooses.
8 God destroyed the firstborn sons in Egypt,
both men and animals.[c]
9 He did great miracles in Egypt.
He warned Pharaoh and his officers
that he would punish them.
10 He destroyed many nations
and he killed powerful kings.
11 He killed Sihon, the king of the Amorites.
He killed Og, the king of Bashan,
and all the other kings of Canaan.
12 He gave their land to his people, the Israelites.
The land would belong to them and to their descendants.
13 Lord, people will always remember your name.
You will always be famous.
14 The Lord shows that his people are right.
He is kind to those who serve him.
15 Other nations make idols with silver and gold.
People worship things that they have made with their hands!
16 Their idols have mouths, but they cannot speak!
They have eyes, but they cannot see!
17 They have ears, but they cannot hear!
They cannot even breathe!
18 The people who made them will become as they are.
Everyone who trusts in idols
will become as useless as their idols are.[d]
19 Israel's family, praise the Lord!
Descendants of Aaron, praise the Lord!
20 Descendants of Levi, praise the Lord!
Everyone who serves the Lord, praise him!
21 Everyone in Zion should praise the Lord.
He is the one who has his home in Jerusalem.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
Footnotes
- 135:1 ‘Hallelujah’ means ‘praise the Lord.’
- 135:4 God gave Jacob a new name, ‘Israel’. So Jacob's family and Israel's people are different ways to talk about God's special people.
- 135:8 Verses 8-12 remember how God brought his people out of Egypt and he took them to Canaan. God punished Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, because he would not let the Israelites go free. On the way to Canaan, God destroyed many kings and their people so that the Israelites could arrive in the land.
- 135:18 An idol is a false god. People made them from valuable metals, like silver and gold. But these idols cannot do anything! They are dead things. If people worship them, they also become dead.
Psalm 135
King James Version
135 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord.
2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13 Thy name, O Lord, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.
14 For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron:
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
