颂赞与感恩

一首诗歌,交给乐长。

66 世人啊,你们要向上帝欢呼,
颂赞祂荣耀的名,
赞美祂的荣耀。
要对上帝说:“你的作为令人敬畏!
你的大能使敌人屈膝投降。
普天下都敬拜你,
颂赞你,颂赞你的名。”(细拉)

来吧,看看上帝的作为,
祂为世人行了何等奇妙的事!
祂将沧海变为干地,
让百姓步行经过。
让我们因祂的作为而欢欣吧!
祂以大能永远掌权,
祂的眼目鉴察列国,
悖逆之徒不可在祂面前妄自尊大。(细拉)

列邦啊,要赞美我们的上帝,
让歌颂祂的声音四处飘扬。
祂保全我们的生命,
不让我们失脚滑倒。
10 上帝啊,你试验我们,
熬炼我们如熬炼银子。
11 你让我们陷入网罗,
把重担压在我们的背上。
12 你让别人骑在我们的头上。
我们曾经历水火,
但你带我们到达丰盛之地。
13 我要带着燔祭来到你殿中,
履行我向你许的誓言,
14 就是我在危难中许下的誓言。
15 我要献上肥美的牲畜,
以公绵羊作馨香之祭献给你,
我要献上公牛和山羊。(细拉)

16 敬畏上帝的人啊,
你们都来听吧,
我要告诉你们祂为我所做的事。
17 我曾开口向祂呼求,
扬声赞美祂。
18 倘若我心中藏匿罪恶,
主必不垂听我的呼求。
19 然而,上帝听了我的祷告,
倾听了我的祈求。
20 上帝当受称颂!
祂没有对我的祷告拒而不听,
也没有收回祂对我的慈爱。

Praise for God’s Goodness to Israel

To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.

66 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
    sing the glory of his name;
    give to him glorious praise!
Say to God, “How terrible are thy deeds!
    So great is thy power that thy enemies cringe before thee.
All the earth worships thee;
    they sing praises to thee,
    sing praises to thy name.”Selah

Come and see what God has done:
    he is terrible in his deeds among men.
He turned the sea into dry land;
    men passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
    who rules by his might for ever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
    let not the rebellious exalt themselves.Selah

Bless our God, O peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard,
who has kept us among the living,
    and has not let our feet slip.
10 For thou, O God, hast tested us;
    thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
11 Thou didst bring us into the net;
    thou didst lay affliction on our loins;
12 thou didst let men ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and through water;
yet thou hast brought us forth to a spacious place.[a]

13 I will come into thy house with burnt offerings;
    I will pay thee my vows,
14 that which my lips uttered
    and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to thee burnt offerings of fatlings,
    with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats.Selah

16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for me.
17 I cried aloud to him,
    and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened.
19 But truly God has listened;
    he has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,
    because he has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me!
