耶和华啊，祢所造的何其多！都是祢用智慧造成的，遍地满了祢的丰富。-诗篇104篇24节

As an amateur photographer, I enjoy capturing glimpses of God’s creativity with my camera. I see His fingerprints on each delicate flower petal, each vibrant sunrise and sunset, and each cloud-painted and star-speckled sky canvas.

作为一名摄影爱好者，我喜欢用相机捕捉上帝所造之物的千姿百态。不论是一片片娇嫩的花瓣、日出日落的绚烂红霞、白云缱绻或是繁星点缀的天空，都让我看到上帝的指纹印记在其中。

My camera’s powerful zoom option allows me to take photos of the Lord’s creatures too. I’ve snapped shots of a chattering squirrel in a cherry blossom tree, a colorful butterfly flitting from bloom to bloom, and sea turtles sunning on a rocky, black beach. Each one-of-a-kind image prompted me to worship my marvelous Maker.

我的相机具备高功能变焦镜头，也让我能拍摄上帝所创造的各种生物。松鼠在樱花树上吱喳，缤纷彩蝶在花丛间飞舞，以及海龟在灰黑的岩岸上晒太阳，一幅幅独特的景象，都令我对这位奇妙的造物主尊崇不已。

I’m not the first of God’s people to praise Him while admiring His unique creations. The writer of Psalm 104 sings of the Lord’s many works of art in nature (v. 24). He regards “the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number” (v. 25) and rejoices in God for providing constant and complete care for His masterpieces (vv. 27–31). Considering the majesty of the God-given life around him, the psalmist bursts with worshipful gratitude: “I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live” (v. 33).

在我之前，上帝的百姓也因为看到祂独特的创造而开口赞扬。诗人在诗篇104篇扬声歌颂，遍地充满了上帝的杰作（24节），看到“海，又大又广；其中有无数的动物，大小活物都有”（25节），因上帝每时刻看顾祂所造的万物，诗人便欢呼喜乐（27-31节）。诗人想到上帝以祂的权能使万物生生不息，便高声赞美称谢：“我要一生向耶和华唱诗，我还活的时候，要向我神歌颂！”（33节）

While reflecting on the Lord’s magnificent and immense creation, we can look closely at His intentional creativity and attention to detail. And like the psalmist, we can sing to our Creator with thankful praise for how powerful, majestic, and loving He is and always will be. Hallelujah!

当我们思想上帝壮丽浩瀚的创造，就能清楚看见祂钜细靡遗的精心设计。我们便能像诗人一样，赞美称谢那位造物主，颂扬祂是何等的伟大、满有权柄和慈爱，并颂赞祂亘古不变，哈利路亚！

Loving Lord, thank You for each detail in creation that affirms Your constant care and unmatched creativity.

亲爱的主啊，我们为祢所创造的每个细微之处感谢祢，它们表明了祢永不改变的看顾和无与伦比的创造力。

Psalm 104:24-34    NIV

104 How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all;the earth is full of your creatures. 25 There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number—living things both large and small. 26 There the ships go to and fro, and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there. 27 All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time. 28 When you give it to them,they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things. 29 When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. 30 When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground. 31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works— 32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke. 33 I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. 34 May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the Lord.

诗篇104:24-34

104  耶和华啊，你所造的何其多！都是你用智慧造成的，遍地满了你的丰富。25 那里有海，又大又广，其中有无数的动物，大小活物都有。26 那里有船行走，有你所造的鳄鱼游泳在其中。27 这都仰望你按时给它食物。28 你给它们，它们便拾起来；你张手，它们饱得美食。29 你掩面，它们便惊惶；你收回它们的气，它们就死亡，归于尘土。30 你发出你的灵，它们便受造；你使地面更换为新。31 愿耶和华的荣耀存到永远，愿耶和华喜悦自己所造的！32 他看地，地便震动；他摸山，山就冒烟。33 我要一生向耶和华唱诗，我还活的时候要向我神歌颂。34 愿他以我的默念为甘甜，我要因耶和华欢喜。

灵粮透视

This remarkable psalm is like an orchestra proclaiming the different sights and sounds of creation. Land and sea; sky and clouds; animal and plant life; light and darkness all point to the ultimate reality of God. It’s easy for the reader to be reminded of the Genesis account of creation that describes the glory of God (Genesis 1–2). Psalm 104 doesn’t read like an objective and dispassionate record of what we see in nature, however. Instead, the psalmist finds in all of creation a marvelous symphony that exalts the Creator. Creation is the signpost pointing to the majesty of God: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made” (Romans 1:20).

这首非凡的诗篇就像交响乐团在颂扬宇宙万物不同的美景和声音。土地和海洋、天空和云彩、动物和植物，以及光明和黑暗，最终都指向上帝本身。这让读者很容易想到创世记关于创造的记述，那里讲到上帝在受造万物中的荣耀（创世记1-2章）。不过，诗篇104篇读起来并不像是客观地记述我们在自然界中看到的情景。相反地，诗人在受造物中发现了一首奇妙的交响曲，推崇至高的创造主。受造万物让我们看到上帝的主权和伟大：“自从造天地以来，上帝的永能和神性是明明可知的，虽是眼不能见，但藉着所造之物就可以晓得，叫人无可推诿。”（罗马书1章20节）

Be on the lookout today for something in creation for which you can express praise to God.  

今天，不妨留意一下，有哪些受造物会让你不由自主地赞美上帝。
