Psalms 66

1 For the Leader. A Song, a Psalm. Shout unto God, all the earth;

普世大地，請向天主歡呼！

2 Sing praises unto 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 tremendous is Thy work! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies dwindle away before 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 shall sing praises unto Thee; they shall sing praises to 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 doing 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 let us 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 ruleth by His might for ever; His eyes keep watch upon 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 suffered not our foot 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 tried us; Thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.

天主，因為您曾考驗我們，像鍊銀子一般，也鍊我們；

11 Thou didst bring us into the hold; Thou didst lay constraint 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 hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but Thou didst bring us out unto 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 come into Thy house with burnt-offerings, I will perform unto 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 have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.

就是我從前在困厄中間，我口所許，我唇所發的願。

15 I will offer unto Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, with the sweet smoke 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, and hearken, 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 cried 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 If I had 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 verily 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 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。
