頌讚 神的作為

詩歌一首,交給詩班長。

66 全地的居民哪!

你們應當向 神歡呼(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)。

你們要歌頌他名的榮耀,

把榮耀和讚美都歸給他。

要對 神說:“你的作為多麼可畏!

因你偉大的能力,你的仇敵必向你假意歸順。

全地的居民都必敬拜你,

向你歌頌,

歌頌你的名。”(細拉)

你們來看 神的作為,

他向世人所作的事是可畏懼的。

他把海變為乾地,

眾人就步行過河,

我們要在那裡因他歡喜。

他以自己的權能永遠統管萬有,

他的眼睛鑒察萬國,

悖逆的人不可自高。(細拉)

萬民哪!你們要稱頌我們的 神,

宣揚讚美他的聲音。

他保全我們的性命,

不使我們的腳動搖。

10  神啊!你試煉了我們,

熬煉了我們,如同熬煉銀子一般。

11 你使我們進入網羅,

把重擔放在我們的背上。

12 你使人駕車軋我們的頭,

我們經過水火,

你卻把我們領到豐盛之地。

13 我要帶著燔祭進你的殿,

我要向你還我的願,

14 就是在急難的時候,

我嘴唇所許的,我口裡所說的。

15 我要把肥美的牲畜作燔祭,

連同公綿羊的馨香祭獻給你,

我並且要把公牛和公山羊獻上。(細拉)

16 所有敬畏 神的人哪!

你們都要來聽,

我要述說他為我所行的事。

17 我曾用口向他呼求,

我曾用舌頭頌讚他。

18 如果我心裡偏向罪孽,

主必不聽;

19  神卻垂聽了,

他留心聽了我禱告的聲音。

20  神是應當稱頌的,

他沒有拒絕我的禱告,

也沒有使他的慈愛離開我。

66 To the Overseer. -- A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.

Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.

Say to God, `How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.

Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.

He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.

Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.

Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,

Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.

10 For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

11 Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.

12 Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.

13 I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

14 For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:

15 `Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.

16 Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

17 Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.

18 Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.

19 But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!

Praise God for Answering Prayers

For the director of music. A song of praise.

66 Everything on earth, shout with joy to God!
Sing about his glory!
    Make his praise glorious!
Say to God, “Your works are amazing!
    Your power is great.
    Your enemies fall before you.
All the earth worships you.
    They sing praises to you.
    They sing praises to your name.” Selah

Come and see what God has done.
    See what amazing things he has done for people.
He turned the sea into dry land.
    The people crossed the river on foot.
    So let us rejoice because of what he did.
He rules forever with his power.
    He keeps his eye on the nations.
    So people should not turn against him. Selah

You people, praise our God.
    Loudly sing his praise.
He protects our lives
    and does not let us be defeated.
10 God, you have tested us.
    You have purified us like silver.
11 You let us be trapped.
    You put a heavy load on us.
12 You let our enemies walk on our heads.
    We went through fire and flood.
    But you brought us to a place with good things.

13 I will come to your Temple with burnt offerings.
    I will give you what I promised.
14 I promised to give you these things
    when I was in trouble.
15 I will bring you offerings of fat animals.
    And I will offer male sheep, bulls and goats. Selah

16 All of you who fear God, come and listen.
    I will tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth.
    I praised him with my tongue.
18 If I had known of any sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened to me.
19 But God has listened.
    He has heard my prayer.
20 Praise God.
    He did not ignore my prayer.
    He did not hold back his love from me.

Psalm 66

For the director of music. A song. A psalm.

Shout for joy to God, all the earth!(A)
    Sing the glory of his name;(B)
    make his praise glorious.(C)
Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!(D)
    So great is your power
    that your enemies cringe(E) before you.
All the earth bows down(F) to you;
    they sing praise(G) to you,
    they sing the praises of your name.”[a]

Come and see what God has done,
    his awesome deeds(H) for mankind!
He turned the sea into dry land,(I)
    they passed through(J) the waters on foot—
    come, let us rejoice(K) in him.
He rules forever(L) by his power,
    his eyes watch(M) the nations—
    let not the rebellious(N) rise up against him.

Praise(O) our God, all peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard;
he has preserved our lives(P)
    and kept our feet from slipping.(Q)
10 For you, God, tested(R) us;
    you refined us like silver.(S)
11 You brought us into prison(T)
    and laid burdens(U) on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;(V)
    we went through fire and water,
    but you brought us to a place of abundance.(W)

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings(X)
    and fulfill my vows(Y) to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
    when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
    and an offering of rams;
    I will offer bulls and goats.(Z)

16 Come and hear,(AA) all you who fear God;
    let me tell(AB) you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
    his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened;(AC)
19 but God has surely listened
    and has heard(AD) my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
    who has not rejected(AE) my prayer
    or withheld his love from me!

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 66:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verses 7 and 15.

66 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
