Psalms 66

1 To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm. Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:

普世大地，請向天主歡呼！

2 Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;

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 terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto 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 All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. (Selah)

天主，普世都要朝拜您，全球都要歌頌您的聖名。

5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in [his] doings toward 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 He turned the sea into dry [land]; they went through the river on foot: there did 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 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

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 peoples, 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 hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our 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, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, 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 a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;

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 cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

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 thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,

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 have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

就是我從前在困厄中間，我口所許，我唇所發的願。

15 I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)

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, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath 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 called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

我親口呼號過他，我舌頭稱揚過他。

18 Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.

如果我真存心作惡，上主決不會俯聽我；

19 But God hath heard; he hath 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 hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness 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。
