Psalms 66

1 For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection. Shout unto God, all the earth.

普世大地，請向天主歡呼！

2 O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.

請歌頌天主聖名的光榮，請獻給天主輝煌的讚頌。

3 Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee.

請您們向天主說：您的作為是何等驚人！您威赫的大能，您的仇敵都向您奉承。

4 Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee; let them sing to thy name. (Pause)

天主，普世都要朝拜您，全球都要歌頌您的聖名。

5 Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels beyond the children of men.

請您們前來觀看天主的作為，他對世人作的事實在可奇。

6 Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,

他曾使海洋乾涸，使人徒步走過江河，叫我們因他而喜樂。

7 who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke [him] be exalted in themselves. (Pause)

他以自己的大能，永遠統治列國萬邦，他的眼睛鑒察萬民，不使叛逆者狂妄。

8 Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

萬民，請您們讚美我們的天主，請傳揚天主應受的榮耀。

9 who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.

他曾使我們的性命存活，沒有讓我們的腳步滑倒。

10 For thou, O God, has proved us; thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried.

天主，因為您曾考驗我們，像鍊銀子一般，也鍊我們；

11 Thou broughtest us into the snare; thou laidest afflictions on our back.

您曾引領我們墜入了網羅，曾將鐵索繫在我們的身腰；

12 Thou didst mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but thou broughtest us out into [a place of] refreshment.

您曾使異民騎在我們頭上，使我們經過水深火熱中央，最後您使我們獲得解放。

13 I will go into thine house with whole-burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

我帶著全燔祭進入您的聖殿，我要向您償還我的各種誓願：

14 which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.

就是我從前在困厄中間，我口所許，我唇所發的願。

15 I will offer to thee whole-burnt-sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to thee oxen with goats. (Pause)

我要以肥大牲畜作全燔祭，要把公羊的馨香獻與您，要將牛犢和山羊祭奠您。

16 Come, hear, and I will tell, all ye that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.

凡敬愛天主的人，請您們前來靜聽，我要敘述祂為我所作所行。

17 I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.

我親口呼號過他，我舌頭稱揚過他。

18 If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken [to me].

如果我真存心作惡，上主決不會俯聽我；

19 Therefore God has hearkened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

然而天主終於俯聽了我，也傾聽了我哀號的祈禱，

20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

天主應受讚美：因祂從未拒絕我的懇求，從未在我身上撤回祂的仁慈。
