Song of Praise to the Lord

Sing to the LORD a new song,
his praise from the ends of the earth,
you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,
you islands, and all who live in them.

Let the desert and its towns raise their voices;
let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice.
Let the people of Sela sing for joy;
let them shout from the mountaintops.

Let them give glory to the LORD
and proclaim his praise in the islands.

-- Isaiah 42:10-12


航海的和海中所有的，海岛和其上的居民，都当向耶和华唱新歌，从地极赞美他！

旷野和其中的城邑，并基达人居住的村庄都当扬声；西拉的居民当欢呼，在山顶上呐喊！

他们当将荣耀归给耶和华，在海岛中传扬他的颂赞。

——以赛亚书 42:10-12

Sin, Confession and Redemption

For our offenses are many in your sight,
and our sins testify against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:

rebellion and treachery against the LORD,
turning our backs on our God,
fomenting oppression and revolt,
uttering lies our hearts have conceived.

So justice is driven back,
and righteousness stands at a distance;
truth has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.

Truth is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The LORD looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.

He saw that there was no one,
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;
so his own arm worked salvation for him,
and his own righteousness sustained him.

He put on righteousness as his breastplate,
and the helmet of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments of vengeance
and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.

According to what they have done,
so will he repay
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands their due.

From the west, men will fear the name of the LORD,
and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory.
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath of the LORD drives along. [a]

"The Redeemer will come to Zion,
to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,"
declares the LORD.

-- Isaiah 59:12-20


我们的过犯在你面前增多，罪恶作见证告我们；过犯与我们同在。至于我们的罪孽，我们都知道：

就是悖逆不认识耶和华，转去不跟从我们的　神，说欺压和叛逆的话，心怀谎言，随即说出。

并且公平转而退后，公义站在远处；诚实在街上仆倒，正直也不得进入。

诚实少见，离恶的人反成掠物。那时，耶和华看见没有公平，甚不喜悦。

他见无人拯救，无人代求，甚为诧异，就用自己的膀臂施行拯救，以公义扶持自己。

他以公义为铠甲，以拯救为头盔，以报仇为衣服，以热心为外袍。

他必按人的行为施报，恼怒他的敌人，报复他的仇敌，向众海岛施行报应。

如此，人从日落之处必敬畏耶和华的名；从日出之地，也必敬畏他的荣耀。因为仇敌好像急流的河水冲来，是耶和华之气所驱逐的。

“必有一位救赎主来到锡安 ── 雅各族中转离过犯的人那里。”这是耶和华说的。

——以赛亚书 59:12-20
