上帝是至高的君王(A)

96 你们要向耶和华唱新歌,
普世都要向耶和华歌唱。
要向耶和华歌唱,称颂祂的名,
天天传扬祂的拯救之恩。
要在列国述说祂的荣耀,
在万民中述说祂的奇妙作为。
因为耶和华无比伟大,
当受至高的颂扬;
祂超越一切神明,当受敬畏。
列邦的神明都是假的,
唯独耶和华创造了诸天。
祂尊贵威严,
祂的圣所充满能力和荣美。
万族万民啊,
要把荣耀和能力归给耶和华,
归给耶和华!
要把耶和华当得的荣耀归给祂,
要带着祭物到祂的院宇敬拜祂。
你们当在圣洁的耶和华面前俯伏敬拜,
大地要在祂面前战抖。
10 要告诉列国:
“耶和华掌权,
祂使大地坚立不摇,
祂必公正地审判万民。”
11 愿天欢喜,愿地快乐,
愿海和其中的一切都欢呼澎湃。
12 愿田野和其中的万物都喜气洋洋,
愿林中的树木都欢然赞美耶和华。
13 因为祂要来审判大地,
祂要按公义审判世界,
凭祂的信实审判万民。

Yahweh the King Comes in Judgment

96 Sing to[a] Yahweh a new song;
sing to[b] Yahweh, all the earth.
Sing to[c] Yahweh; bless his name.
Announce[d] his salvation from day to day.
Tell his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples.
For Yahweh is great and very worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,[e]
but Yahweh made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of the peoples,
ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come into his courts.
Worship Yahweh in holy array;
tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, “Yahweh is king!
Yes, the world is established so that it will not be moved.
He will judge the peoples fairly.”
11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice.
Let the sea with[f] its fullness roar.
12 Let the field with[g] all that is in it exult.
Then all the trees of the forests will sing for joy
13 before Yahweh, for he is coming;
for he is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
and the peoples with his faithfulness.
