詩篇 95
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
讚美上帝之歌
95 來吧，讓我們向耶和華歌唱，
向拯救我們的磐石歡呼。
2 讓我們懷著感恩的心來到祂面前，
向祂高唱讚美詩。
3 因為耶和華是偉大的上帝，
是眾神明之上的大君王。
4 祂掌管地的深處，
祂擁有山的高峰。
5 海洋屬於祂，是祂創造的，
陸地也是祂造的。
6 來吧，讓我們俯伏敬拜，
在創造我們的耶和華面前跪下。
7 因為祂是我們的上帝，
我們是祂照管的子民，
是祂牧放的羊群。
你們今日若聽見祂的聲音，
8 不可像你們祖先在米利巴，
在曠野的瑪撒那樣心裡頑固。
9 耶和華說：「雖然他們見過我的作為，
卻仍然試探我。
10 所以，我憎惡他們四十年之久，
我說，『他們偏離正路，不遵行我的命令。』
11 因此我在怒中起誓說，
『他們絕不可進入我的安息！』」

Psalm 95
New English Translation
Psalm 95[a]
95 Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord.
Let us shout out praises to our Protector who delivers us.[b]
2 Let us enter his presence[c] with thanksgiving.
Let us shout out to him in celebration.[d]
3 For the Lord is a great God,
a great king who is superior to[e] all gods.
4 The depths of the earth are in his hand,[f]
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it.
His hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow down and worship.[g]
Let us kneel before the Lord, our Creator.
7 For he is our God;
we are the people of his pasture,
the sheep he owns.[h]
Today, if only you would obey him.[i]
8 He says,[j] “Do not be stubborn like they were at Meribah,[k]
like they were that day at Massah[l] in the wilderness,[m]
9 where your ancestors challenged my authority,[n]
and tried my patience, even though they had seen my work.
10 For forty years I was continually disgusted[o] with that generation,
and I said, ‘These people desire to go astray;[p]
they do not obey my commands.’[q]
11 So I made a vow in my anger,
‘They will never enter into the resting place I had set aside for them.’”[r]
Footnotes
- Psalm 95:1 sn Psalm 95. The psalmist summons Israel to praise God as the creator of the world and the nation’s protector, but he also reminds the people not to rebel against God.
- Psalm 95:1 tn Heb “to the rocky summit of our deliverance.”
- Psalm 95:2 tn Heb “meet his face.”
- Psalm 95:2 tn Heb “with songs of joy.”
- Psalm 95:3 tn Heb “above.”
- Psalm 95:4 tn The phrase “in his hand” means within the sphere of his authority.
- Psalm 95:6 tn Heb “kneel down.”
- Psalm 95:7 tn Heb “of his hand.”
- Psalm 95:7 tn Heb “if only you would listen to his voice.” The Hebrew particle אִם (ʾim, “if”) and following prefixed verbal form here express a wish (cf. Ps 81:8). Note that the apodosis (the “then” clause of the conditional sentence) is suppressed.
- Psalm 95:8 tn The words “he says” are supplied in the translation to clarify that the following words are spoken by the Lord (see vv. 9-11).
- Psalm 95:8 sn The name Meribah means “strife.” Two separate but similar incidents at Meribah are recorded in the Pentateuch (Exod 17:1-7; Num 20:1-13, see also Pss 81:7; 106:32). In both cases the Israelites complained about lack of water and the Lord miraculously provided for them.
- Psalm 95:8 sn The name Massah means “testing.” This was another name (along with Meribah) given to the place where Israel complained following the Red Sea Crossing (see Exod 17:1-7, as well as Deut 6:16; 9:22; 33:8).
- Psalm 95:8 tn Heb “do not harden your heart[s] as [at] Meribah, as [in] the day of Massah in the wilderness.”
- Psalm 95:9 tn Heb “where your fathers tested me.”
- Psalm 95:10 tn The prefixed verbal form is either a preterite or an imperfect. If the latter, it emphasizes the ongoing nature of the condition in the past. The translation reflects this interpretation of the verbal form.
- Psalm 95:10 tn Heb “a people, wanderers of heart [are] they.”
- Psalm 95:10 tn Heb “and they do not know my ways.” In this context the Lord’s “ways” are his commands, viewed as a pathway from which his people, likened to wayward sheep (see v. 7), wander.
- Psalm 95:11 tn Heb “my resting place.” The promised land of Canaan is here viewed metaphorically as a place of rest for God’s people, who are compared to sheep (see v. 7).
Psalm 95
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 95
1 O come, let us sing unto the Lord:
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving,
and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth:
the strength of the hills is his also.
5 The sea is his, and he made it:
and his hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down:
let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
7 For he is our God;
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 harden not your heart, as in the provocation,
and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 when your fathers tempted me,
proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation,
and said, It is a people that do err in their heart,
and they have not known my ways:
11 unto whom I sware in my wrath
that they should not enter into my rest.
