Psalms 66

1 To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm. Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:

一篇詩歌，交與伶長。 全地都當向上帝歡呼！

2 Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.

歌頌他名的榮耀！ 用讚美的言語將他的榮耀發明！

3 Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.

當對上帝說：你的作為何等可畏！ 因你的大能，仇敵要投降你。

4 Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah)

全地要敬拜你，歌頌你， 要歌頌你的名。 (細拉)

5 Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.

你們來看上帝所行的， 他向世人所做之事是可畏的。

6 The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.

他將海變成乾地，眾民步行過河； 我們在那裏因他歡喜。

7 He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah)

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)

8 Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;

萬民哪，你們當稱頌我們的上帝， 使人得聽讚美他的聲音。

9 Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

他使我們的性命存活， 也不叫我們的腳搖動。

10 For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

上帝啊，你曾試驗我們， 熬煉我們，如熬煉銀子一樣。

11 You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

你使我們進入網羅， 把重擔放在我們的身上。

12 You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.

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 I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,

我要用燔祭進你的殿， 向你還我的願，

14 Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.

就是在急難時我嘴唇所發的、 口中所許的。

15 I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah)

我要把肥牛作燔祭， 將公羊的香祭獻給你， 又把公牛和山羊獻上。 (細拉)

16 Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.

凡敬畏上帝的人，你們都來聽！ 我要述說他為我所行的事。

17 My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.

我曾用口求告他； 我的舌頭也稱他為高。

18 I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:

我若心裏注重罪孽， 主必不聽。

19 But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

但上帝實在聽見了； 他側耳聽了我禱告的聲音。

20 Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.

上帝是應當稱頌的！ 他並沒有推卻我的禱告， 也沒有叫他的慈愛離開我。
