1 你 們 要 讚 美 耶 和 華 ！ 我 要 在 正 直 人 的 大 會 中 ， 並 公 會 中 ， 一 心 稱 謝 耶 和 華 。 2 耶 和 華 的 作 為 本 為 大 ； 凡 喜 愛 的 都 必 考 察 。 3 祂 所 行 的 是 尊 榮 和 威 嚴 ； 祂 的 公 義 存 到 永 遠 。 4 祂 行 了 奇 事 ， 使 人 記 念 ； 耶 和 華 有 恩 惠 ， 有 憐 憫 。 5 祂 賜 糧 食 給 敬 畏 祂 的 人 ； 祂 必 永 遠 記 念 祂 的 約 。 6 祂 向 百 姓 顯 出 大 能 的 作 為 ， 把 外 邦 的 地 賜 給 他 們 為 業 。 7 祂 手 所 行 的 是 誠 實 公 平 ； 祂 的 訓 詞 都 是 確 實 的 ， 8 是 永 永 遠 遠 堅 定 的 ， 是 按 誠 實 正 直 設 立 的 。 9 祂 向 百 姓 施 行 救 贖 ， 命 定 祂 的 約 ， 直 到 永 遠 ； 祂 的 名 聖 而 可 畏 。 10 敬 畏 耶 和 華 是 智 慧 的 開 端 ； 凡 遵 行 祂 命 令 的 是 聰 明 人 。 耶 和 華 是 永 遠 當 讚 美 的 ！

1 Praise the LORD!       I will praise the LORD with my whole heart,       In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation. 2 The works of the LORD are great,       Studied by all who have pleasure in them. 3 His work is honorable and glorious,       And His righteousness endures forever. 4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;       The LORD is gracious and full of compassion. 5 He has given food to those who fear Him;       He will ever be mindful of His covenant. 6 He has declared to His people the power of His works,       In giving them the heritage of the nations. 7 The works of His hands are verity and justice;       All His precepts are sure. 8 They stand fast forever and ever,       And are done in truth and uprightness. 9 He has sent redemption to His people;       He has commanded His covenant forever:       Holy and awesome is His name. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;       A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.       His praise endures forever.

詩 Psalm 111:5 祂賜糧食給敬畏祂的人；祂必永遠記念祂的約。 He has given food to those who fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

詩人通過神的種種作為來讚美祂，我們也要考察神的作為，更深地認識祂，更多地尊崇祂，因為自從造天地以來，神的永能和神性藉著所造之物就可以曉得。神不僅創造，祂還每日供應我們所需，常以祂的命令托住萬有，並在基督裏為我們預備產業。神不僅供應，祂還以祂的訓詞和祂的約來引領我們走義路。神不僅引領，祂還施行救贖，以祂的寶血將我們重價買贖回來，並賜給我們永生。讚美神，因祂的創造奇妙可畏；讚美神，因祂的供應信實可靠；讚美神，因祂的引導公正確實；讚美神，因他救贖的工作永存，祂的寶血永遠有效！

The psalmist praised God through His various works. We should also ponder the works of God, to know Him deeper, and to exalt Him more, because since the creation of the world, God's eternal power and divine nature could be understood from what have been made. God not just creates, He also provides our daily needs, sustaining all things by His word, and preparing inheritance for us in Christ. God not just provides, He also guides us on the path of righteousness with His precepts and His covenants. God not just guides, He also sends redemption, redeeming us with His precious blood, and giving us eternal life. Praise God, for His creation is marvelous and awesome; praise God, for His provision is faithful and dependable; praise God, for His guidance is just and sure; praise God, for His work of redemption lasts forever, and His precious blood is always effective!
