Psalms 66

1 “To the chief musician, a song or psalm.” Shout joyfully unto God, all ye lands:

一篇詩歌，交與伶長。 全地都當向上帝歡呼！

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

歌頌他名的榮耀！ 用讚美的言語將他的榮耀發明！

3 Say unto God, How fear-inspiring is every one of thy works! through the greatness of thy strength will thy enemies yield feigned obedience unto thee.

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 All the lands shall bow themselves down unto thee, and shall sing praises unto thee; they shall sing praises to thy name. (Selah)

全地要敬拜你，歌頌你， 要歌頌你的名。 (細拉)

5 Come and see the deeds of God: fear-inspiring is his doing toward 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 He changed the sea into dry land: through the river they went on foot: there did we rejoice 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 ruleth by his might for ever; his eyes look upon the nations: the rebellious—these shall not be exalted. (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 Bless, O ye people, our God, and cause the voice of his praise to be heard:

萬民哪，你們當稱頌我們的上帝， 使人得聽讚美他的聲音。

9 Who hath appointed our soul to life, and hath not suffered our foot to slip.

他使我們的性命存活， 也不叫我們的腳搖動。

10 For thou hast proved us, O God: thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.

上帝啊，你曾試驗我們， 熬煉我們，如熬煉銀子一樣。

11 Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast placed fetters upon our loins.

你使我們進入網羅， 把重擔放在我們的身上。

12 Thou hast caused men to ride on our head: we entered into fire and into water; but thou broughtest us out to [the enjoyment] of overflowing plenty. a

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 enter thy house with burnt-offerings: I will pay unto thee my vows,

我要用燔祭進你的殿， 向你還我的願，

14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.

就是在急難時我嘴唇所發的、 口中所許的。

15 Burnt-offerings of fatlings will I offer up unto thee, with the incense of rams; I will prepare steers with he-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, hear, and I will relate, all ye that fear God, what he hath 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 Unto him I cried with my mouth, and a song of extolling was on my tongue.

我曾用口求告他； 我的舌頭也稱他為高。

18 If I had looked on wickedness with my heart, the Lord would not have heard;

我若心裏注重罪孽， 主必不聽。

19 But verily God hath heard; he hath listened 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 Blessed be God, who hath not removed my prayer [from him], nor his kindness 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。
