第 12 天 詩 148
1你們要讚美耶和華！從天上讚美耶和華，在高處讚美他！
2他的眾使者都要讚美他！他的諸軍都要讚美他！
3 日頭月亮，你們要讚美他！放光的星宿，你們都要讚美他！
4 天上的天和天上的水，你們都要讚美他！
5 願這些都讚美耶和華的名！因他一吩咐便都造成。
6 他將這些立定，直到永永遠遠；他定了命，不能廢去（或譯：越過）。
7 所有在地上的，大魚和一切深洋，
8 火與冰雹，雪和霧氣，成就他命的狂風，
9 大山和小山，結果的樹木和一切香柏樹，
10 野獸和一切牲畜，昆蟲和飛鳥，
11 世上的君王和萬民，首領和世上一切審判官，
12 少年人和處女，老年人和孩童，都當讚美耶和華！
13 願這些都讚美耶和華的名！因為獨有他的名被尊崇；他的榮耀在天地之上。
14 他將他百姓的角高舉，因此他（或譯：他使）一切聖民以色列人，就是與他相近的百姓，都讚美他！你們要讚美耶和華！
Day 12 Psalm 148
1Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens；Praise Him in the heights!
2 Praise Him， all His angels；Praise Him， all His hosts!
3 Praise Him， sun and moon；Praise Him， all you stars of light!
4 Praise Him， you heavens of heavens，and you waters above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord，for He commanded and they were created.
6 He also established them forever and ever；He made a decree which shall not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth，You great sea creatures and all the depths；
8 Fire and hail， snow and clouds；Stormy wind， fulfilling His word；
9 Mountains and all hills；Fruitful trees and all cedars；
10 Beasts and all cattle；Creeping things and flying fowl；
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples；Princes and all judges of the earth；
12 Both young men and maidens；Old men and children.
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord，for His name alone is exalted；
His glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 And He has exalted the horn of His people，the praise of all His saints—
Of the children of Israel，a people near to Him. Praise the Lord!

“Praise the Lord!” The psalmist begins and ends the psalm with this resounding hallelujah. In his praise of God, we see the psalmist’s zeal, joy and passion. The psalmist patterns the psalm after the order of creation. First, he calls for praise from the heavens, as written in scripture: “the heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” (Psalm 19:1) and “... His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead…” (Romans 1:20). He then calls for creatures of the earth to praise God, by whose command all things have been made. Lastly, the psalmist emphasizes that all of creation should praise the Lord for He has exalted the horn of His people - a mighty Savior. Through the Savior, He brings His people near to Him. Let us humbly pray that we, the blessed people of the Lord, who have been covered in grace and love, can come daily before the throne of God to be near Him and to praise Him. Praise the Lord!
「你們要讚美耶和華」。 詩人以 「哈利路亞」開篇，也以「哈利路亞」結束這首讚美詩。 詩人以極大的熱忱、以喜樂和熱情全心全意地讚美 神。 他按著神創造的循序，先是呼召天上的萬有來讚美 神，因「諸天述說神的榮耀，穹蒼傳揚祂的手段。 」（詩19：1）「 神的永能和神性是明明可知的，... 藉著所造之物就可以曉得...。 」（羅1：20）他接著呼籲地上的一切受造之物回應，稱頌神，因這一切都是神一吩咐就造成的。 詩人最後特別強調無任何人都當讚美耶和華因祂為他們興起一角，即一位大能的拯救者；尤有甚者，祂使他們能與祂自己相近。 維願我們這些蒙福、蒙恩又蒙愛的神的子民每個清晨就可以直到神的寶座前來親近並讚美 祂。 我們要讚美耶和華！
