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。

Al director musical. Cántico. Salmo.

66 ¡Aclamen alegres a Dios, habitantes de toda la tierra!
    Canten salmos a su glorioso nombre;
    ¡ríndanle gloriosas alabanzas!
Díganle a Dios:
    «¡Cuán imponentes son tus obras!
Es tan grande tu poder
    que tus enemigos se rinden ante ti.
Toda la tierra se postra en tu presencia
    y te canta salmos;
    canta salmos a tu nombre». Selah

¡Vengan y vean las proezas de Dios,
    sus obras portentosas en nuestro favor!
Convirtió el mar en tierra seca,
    y el pueblo cruzó el río a pie.
    ¡Regocijémonos en él!
Con su poder gobierna eternamente;
    sus ojos vigilan a las naciones,
    para que no se levanten contra él los rebeldes. Selah

Bendigan, pueblos, a nuestro Dios,
    hagan oír la voz de su alabanza.
Él ha protegido nuestra vida,
    ha evitado que resbalen nuestros pies.
10 Tú, oh Dios, nos has puesto a prueba;
    nos has purificado como a la plata.
11 Nos has hecho caer en una trampa;
    has echado sobre nuestra espalda una pesada carga.
12 Dejaste que cabalgaran sobre nuestra cabeza;
    hemos pasado por el fuego y por el agua,
    pero al fin nos has llevado a un lugar de abundancia.

13 Me presentaré en tu Templo con holocaustos
    y cumpliré las promesas que te hice,
14 las promesas de mis labios y mi boca
    que pronuncié en medio de mi angustia.
15 Te ofreceré holocaustos de animales engordados,
    junto con el humo de ofrendas de carneros;
    te ofreceré toros y machos cabríos. Selah

16 Vengan ustedes, temerosos de Dios,
    escuchen, que voy a contarles todo lo que él ha hecho por mí.
17 Clamé a él con mi boca;
    lo alabé con mi lengua.
18 Si en mi corazón hubiera yo abrigado maldad,
    el Señor no me habría escuchado;
19 pero Dios sí me ha escuchado,
    ha atendido a la voz de mi oración.
20 ¡Bendito sea Dios,
    que no rechazó mi oración
    ni me negó su gran amor!

Come and See the Works of God

For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm.

66 (A)Make a loud shout to God, all the earth;
Sing praise for the (B)glory of His name;
Establish His (C)praise as glorious.
Say to God, “How [a](D)fearsome are Your works!
Because of the abundance of Your strength Your enemies will [b](E)cower before You.
(F)All the earth will worship You,
And will (G)sing praises to You;
They will sing praises to Your name.” [c]Selah.

(H)Come and see the works of God,
Who is (I)fearsome in His deeds toward the sons of men.
He (J)turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through (K)the river on foot;
There let us (L)be glad in Him!
He (M)rules by His might forever;
His (N)eyes keep watch on the nations;
Let not the rebellious (O)exalt themselves. Selah.

Bless our God, O peoples,
And [d](P)make the sound of His praise heard,
Who [e](Q)establishes us among the living
And (R)does not allow our feet to stumble.
10 For You have (S)tested us, O God;
You have (T)refined us as silver is refined.
11 You (U)brought us into the net;
You established an oppressive burden upon our loins.
12 You made men (V)ride over our heads;
We went through (W)fire and through water,
Yet You (X)brought us out into a place of abundance.
13 I shall (Y)come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall (Z)pay You my vows,
14 Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke when I was (AA)in distress.
15 I shall (AB)offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts,
With the smoke of (AC)rams;
I shall make an offering of [f]bulls with male goats. Selah.

16 (AD)Come and hear, all who [g]fear God,
And I will (AE)recount what He has done for my soul.
17 I called out to Him with my mouth,
And [h]He was (AF)exalted with my tongue.
18 If I [i](AG)see wickedness in my heart,
The (AH)Lord [j]will not [k]hear;
19 But certainly (AI)God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
20 (AJ)Blessed be God,
Who (AK)has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness 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!
