How Awesome Are Your Deeds

To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.

66 (A)Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
    sing the glory of his name;
    (B)give to him glorious praise!
Say to God, (C)“How awesome are your deeds!
    So great is your power that your enemies (D)come cringing to you.
(E)All the earth worships you
    and sings praises to you;
    they sing praises to your name.” Selah

(F)Come and see what God has done:
    (G)he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
He (H)turned the sea into dry land;
    they (I)passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
    who rules by his might forever,
whose (J)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 our soul among the living
    and (K)has not let our feet slip.
10 For you, O God, have (L)tested us;
    you have tried us as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into (M)the net;
    you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12 you let men (N)ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and through (O)water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
    I will (P)perform my vows to you,
14 that which my lips uttered
    and my mouth promised (Q)when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
    with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

16 (R)Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth,
    and high praise was on[a] my tongue.[b]
18 If I had (S)cherished iniquity in my heart,
    (T)the Lord would not have listened.
19 But truly (U)God has listened;
    he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

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

頌讚神之大能

66 一篇詩歌,交於伶長。

全地都當向神歡呼!
歌頌他名的榮耀,用讚美的言語將他的榮耀發明!
當對神說:「你的作為何等可畏!因你的大能,仇敵要投降你。
全地要敬拜你,歌頌你,要歌頌你的名。」(細拉)
你們來看神所行的,他向世人所做之事是可畏的。
他將海變成乾地,眾民步行過河,我們在那裡因他歡喜。
他用權能治理萬民直到永遠,他的眼睛鑒察列邦,悖逆的人不可自高。(細拉)
萬民哪,你們當稱頌我們的神,使人得聽讚美他的聲音。
他使我們的性命存活,也不叫我們的腳搖動。
10 神啊,你曾試驗我們,熬煉我們如熬煉銀子一樣。
11 你使我們進入網羅,把重擔放在我們的身上。
12 你使人坐車軋我們的頭,我們經過水火,你卻使我們到豐富之地。
13 我要用燔祭進你的殿,向你還我的願,
14 就是在急難時我嘴唇所發的,口中所許的。
15 我要把肥牛做燔祭,將公羊的香祭獻給你,又把公牛和山羊獻上。(細拉)

稱頌神聽允其祈

16 凡敬畏神的人,你們都來聽,我要述說他為我所行的事。

17 我曾用口求告他,我的舌頭也稱他為高。
18 我若心裡注重罪孽,主必不聽。
19 但神實在聽見了,他側耳聽了我禱告的聲音。
20 神是應當稱頌的!他並沒有推卻我的禱告,也沒有叫他的慈愛離開我。

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.
