美国语文第五册 第135期:上帝的仁爱(3)

 　　O Lord, how manifold are thy works! 耶和华啊，你所造的何其多，

　　in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.  都是你用智慧造成的，遍地满了你的丰富。

　　So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.  那里有海，又大又广，其中有无数的动物，大小活物都有。

　　There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.  那里有船行走，有你所造的鳄鱼游泳在其中。

　　These wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 这都仰望你按时给它食物。

　　That thou givest them they gather; 你给它们，它们便拾起来；

　　thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.  你张手，它们饱得美食。

　　Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; 你掩面，它们便惊惶；

　　thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.  你收回它们的气，它们就死亡归于尘土。

　　Thou sendest forth¹ thy Spirit, they are created; 你发出你的灵，它们便受造，

　　and thou renewest the face of the earth. 你使地面更换为新。

　　The glory of the Lord shall endure forever: 愿耶和华的荣耀存到永远；

　　the Lord shall rejoice in his works.  愿耶和华喜悦自己所造的。

　　He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: 他看地，地便震动；

　　he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.  他摸山，山就冒烟。
