讚美和感恩

大衛作的詩,交給樂長。

65 上帝啊,
人們在錫安讚美你,
向你履行誓言。
你垂聽禱告,
世人都來到你面前。
雖然我們深陷罪中,
你卻赦免了我們。
蒙你揀選、
能住在你聖所的人有福了!
我們在你美好的居所,
你聖潔的殿中心滿意足。
拯救我們的上帝啊,
你憑公義、行可畏之事來應允我們的祈求。
你是普天下的盼望。
你充滿力量,以大能創造群山,
又平息怒海狂濤,
止息列邦的喧囂。
你奇妙的作為使遠在地極的人心生敬畏,
你使日出之地和日落之處都傳來歡呼聲。
你眷顧大地,降下沛雨,
使土地肥沃富饒。
上帝啊,你使江河湧流不息,
澆灌大地,為世人預備五穀。
10 你降下甘霖,澆透壟溝,
滋潤壟背,使地鬆軟、
長出莊稼。
11 你賜下豐年福月,
你的腳蹤恩澤滿溢。
12 曠野的草地生機盎然,
山嶺間充滿歡樂,
13 草場遍佈羊群,
谷中長滿莊稼,
處處歡歌笑語。

Blessed Is the One Whom You Choose

For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song.

65 To You, there will be silence and praise in Zion, O God,
And to You the (A)vow will be paid.
O You who hear prayer,
To You (B)all flesh comes.
(C)Words of iniquity prevail against me;
As for our transgressions, You (D)atone for them.
How (E)blessed is the one whom You (F)choose and bring near to You
That he would dwell in Your courts.
We will be (G)satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

By [a](H)fearsome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O (I)God of our salvation,
You who are the trust of all the (J)ends of the earth and of the farthest [b](K)sea;
Who (L)establishes the mountains by His strength,
Being (M)girded with might;
Who (N)stills the rumbling of the seas,
The rumbling of their waves,
And the (O)tumult of the peoples.
They who inhabit the (P)ends of the earth are in fear on account of Your signs;
You make [c]the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.

You visit the earth and (Q)cause it to overflow;
You greatly (R)enrich it;
The [d](S)stream of God is full of water;
You establish their (T)grain, for thus You establish [e]the earth.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
You smooth its ridges,
You soften it (U)with showers,
You bless its growth.
11 You crown the year [f]with Your (V)goodness,
And Your [g]paths (W)drip with richness.
12 (X)The pastures of the wilderness drip,
And the (Y)hills gird themselves with rejoicing.
13 The meadows are (Z)clothed with flocks
And the valleys are (AA)covered with grain;
They (AB)make a loud shout, indeed, they sing.
