詩篇 136:1-9
1 你們要稱謝耶和華， 因他本為善； 他的慈愛永遠長存。 2 你們要稱謝萬神之神， 因他的慈愛永遠長存。 3 你們要稱謝萬主之主， 因他的慈愛永遠長存。 4 稱謝那獨行大奇事的， 因他的慈愛永遠長存。 5 稱謝那用智慧造天的， 因他的慈愛永遠長存。 6 稱謝那鋪地在水以上的， 因他的慈愛永遠長存。 7 稱謝那造成大光的， 因他的慈愛永遠長存。 8 他造日頭管白晝， 因他的慈愛永遠長存。 9 他造月亮星宿管黑夜， 因他的慈愛永遠長存。
Psalm 136:1-9
1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 2 Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever. 3 Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures forever: 4 To Him who alone does great wonders, for His mercy endures forever; 5 To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, for His mercy endures forever; 6 To Him who laid out the earth above the waters, for His mercy endures forever; 7 To Him who made great lights, for His mercy endures forever— 8 The sun to rule by day, for His mercy endures forever; 9 The moon and stars to rule by night, for His mercy endures forever.
We ought to give thanks again and again, to offer the sacrifices of praises continually. Not with fruits from the ground or cattle, but with the fruits of our lips. Give thanks to Him who is the King of kings and Lord of lords. It is the will of God that we should abound in these most blessed and acceptable spiritual offerings.
Give thanks to Him for His goodness and loving-kindness. Give thanks to Him for His power and wisdom. Give thanks to Him for His eternal purpose and the divine revelation.
