< Psalms 66 >
1 To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm. Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:
一篇诗歌,交与伶长。 全地都当向 神欢呼!
2 Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;
歌颂他名的荣耀! 用赞美的言语将他的荣耀发明!
3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.
当对 神说:你的作为何等可畏! 因你的大能,仇敌要投降你。
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. (Selah)
全地要敬拜你,歌颂你, 要歌颂你的名。 (细拉)
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in [his] doings toward the children of men.
你们来看 神所行的, 他向世人所做之事是可畏的。
6 He turned the sea into dry [land]; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
他将海变成干地,众民步行过河; 我们在那里因他欢喜。
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)
他用权能治理万民,直到永远。 他的眼睛鉴察列邦; 悖逆的人不可自高。 (细拉)
8 Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
万民哪,你们当称颂我们的 神, 使人得听赞美他的声音。
9 Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
他使我们的性命存活, 也不叫我们的脚摇动。
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
神啊,你曾试验我们, 熬炼我们,如熬炼银子一样。
11 Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;
你使我们进入网罗, 把重担放在我们的身上。
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.
你使人坐车轧我们的头; 我们经过水火, 你却使我们到丰富之地。
13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,
我要用燔祭进你的殿, 向你还我的愿,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
就是在急难时我嘴唇所发的、 口中所许的。
15 I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)
我要把肥牛作燔祭, 将公羊的香祭献给你, 又把公牛和山羊献上。 (细拉)
16 Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
凡敬畏 神的人,你们都来听! 我要述说他为我所行的事。
17 I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
我曾用口求告他; 我的舌头也称他为高。
18 Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.
我若心里注重罪孽, 主必不听。
19 But God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
但 神实在听见了; 他侧耳听了我祷告的声音。
20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
神是应当称颂的! 他并没有推却我的祷告, 也没有叫他的慈爱离开我。
