哈利路亞！我的心哪，你要讚美耶和華！2 我一生要讚美耶和華！我還活着的時候要歌頌我的 神！… 10 耶和華要作王，直到永遠！錫安哪，你的 神要作王，直到萬代！哈利路亞！Praise the Lord!Praise the Lord, O my soul! 2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live I will sing praises to my God while I have my being…The Lord will reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!
詩篇 PSALM 146
詩篇的最後五篇稱為“哈利路亞詩篇”，使我們的注意力集中在讚美主。 “哈利路亞”一詞的意思是“讚美耶和華”。 詩篇146以誓言和宣告開始，“只要[我們]活著，[我們]就要歌頌上帝”。 尤其是在世界混亂的時候，讚美上帝會使我們的心升上天堂。 我們將看到上帝仍坐在寶座上，因此我們不會倚靠地上的諸王，而是相信雅各的上帝。 讚美上帝還會幫助我們看到上帝今天仍在工作（6-9節）！ 上帝是創造，持守，伸冤和給予的上帝……最重要的是，“上帝要作王，直到永遠”（第10節）。 因此，讓我們現在的人生成為哈利路亞的人生（也就是讚美的人生），因為在新天新地我們將加入萬國萬民永遠ㄧ起高唱哈利路亞！
The last five psalms are the “Halleluiah Psalms” that focus our attention on praising the Lord. The word “Hallelujah” means “praise the Lord”. Psalm 146 begins with a vow and a declaration that “as long as [we] live, [we] will sing praises to God”. Especially when the world is chaos, praising God makes our hearts ascend to heaven. We will see that God is still sitting on the throne so we won’t trust in the kings of the earth but in the God of Jacob. Praising God also helps us to see that God is still taking action today (vv. 6-9)! God is the God who creates, who maintains, who acts, and who gives … most importantly, God will reign forever (v. 10). Therefore, let us make our lives a life of Hallelujah now (that is, a life of praise), because we will join all nations to sing Hallelujah forever in the new heavens and the new earth!
