诗篇 66
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
颂赞 神的作为
诗歌一首,交给诗班长。
66 全地的居民哪!
你们应当向 神欢呼(本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题)。
2 你们要歌颂他名的荣耀,
把荣耀和赞美都归给他。
3 要对 神说:“你的作为多么可畏!
因你伟大的能力,你的仇敌必向你假意归顺。
4 全地的居民都必敬拜你,
向你歌颂,
歌颂你的名。”(细拉)
5 你们来看 神的作为,
他向世人所作的事是可畏惧的。
6 他把海变为干地,
众人就步行过河,
我们要在那里因他欢喜。
7 他以自己的权能永远统管万有,
他的眼睛鉴察万国,
悖逆的人不可自高。(细拉)
8 万民哪!你们要称颂我们的 神,
宣扬赞美他的声音。
9 他保全我们的性命,
不使我们的脚动摇。
10 神啊!你试炼了我们,
熬炼了我们,如同熬炼银子一般。
11 你使我们进入网罗,
把重担放在我们的背上。
12 你使人驾车轧我们的头,
我们经过水火,
你却把我们领到丰盛之地。
13 我要带着燔祭进你的殿,
我要向你还我的愿,
14 就是在急难的时候,
我嘴唇所许的,我口里所说的。
15 我要把肥美的牲畜作燔祭,
连同公绵羊的馨香祭献给你,
我并且要把公牛和公山羊献上。
(细拉)
16 所有敬畏 神的人哪!
你们都要来听,
我要述说他为我所行的事。
17 我曾用口向他呼求,
我曾用舌头颂赞他。
18 如果我心里偏向罪孽,
主必不听;
19 神却垂听了,
他留心听了我祷告的声音。
20 神是应当称颂的,
他没有拒绝我的祷告,
也没有使他的慈爱离开我。
Psalm 66
New International Version
Psalm 66
For the director of music. A song. A psalm.
1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!(A)
2 Sing the glory of his name;(B)
make his praise glorious.(C)
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!(D)
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe(E) before you.
4 All the earth bows down(F) to you;
they sing praise(G) to you,
they sing the praises of your name.”[a]
5 Come and see what God has done,
his awesome deeds(H) for mankind!
6 He turned the sea into dry land,(I)
they passed through(J) the waters on foot—
come, let us rejoice(K) in him.
7 He rules forever(L) by his power,
his eyes watch(M) the nations—
let not the rebellious(N) rise up against him.
8 Praise(O) our God, all peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;
9 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!

The Message
66 1-4 All together now—applause for God!
Sing songs to the tune of his glory,
set glory to the rhythms of his praise.
Say of God, “We’ve never seen anything like him!”
When your enemies see you in action,
they slink off like scolded dogs.
The whole earth falls to its knees—
it worships you, sings to you,
can’t stop enjoying your name and fame.
5-6 Take a good look at God’s wonders—
they’ll take your breath away.
He converted sea to dry land;
travelers crossed the river on foot.
Now isn’t that cause for a song?
7 Ever sovereign in his high tower, he keeps
his eye on the godless nations.
Rebels don’t dare
raise a finger against him.
8-12 Bless our God, O peoples!
Give him a thunderous welcome!
Didn’t he set us on the road to life?
Didn’t he keep us out of the ditch?
He trained us first,
passed us like silver through refining fires,
Brought us into hardscrabble country,
pushed us to our very limit,
Road-tested us inside and out,
took us to hell and back;
Finally he brought us
to this well-watered place.
13-15 I’m bringing my prizes and presents to your house.
I’m doing what I said I’d do,
What I solemnly swore I’d do
that day when I was in so much trouble:
The choicest cuts of meat
for the sacrificial meal;
Even the fragrance
of roasted lamb is like a meal!
Or make it an ox
garnished with goat meat!
16-20 All believers, come here and listen,
let me tell you what God did for me.
I called out to him with my mouth,
my tongue shaped the sounds of music.
If I had been cozy with evil,
the Lord would never have listened.
But he most surely did listen,
he came on the double when he heard my prayer.
Blessed be God: he didn’t turn a deaf ear,
he stayed with me, loyal in his love.
