Psalms 96

1 Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.

請眾齊向上主歌唱新歌，普世大地請向上主謳歌！

2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name: announce from day to day his salvation.

請向上主歌唱，讚美祂的聖名，一日復一日地宣揚祂的救恩。

3 Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.

請在列邦中傳述上主的光榮，請在萬民中宣揚祂的奇功。

4 For the Lord is great, and greatly praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

因為上主偉大，應受讚美，惟祂超越眾神，可敬可畏。

5 For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.

萬邦的眾神盡屬虛幻，但上主卻造成了蒼天；

6 Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

威嚴與尊榮，常在祂的面前，權能與光耀，圍繞在祂的聖壇。

7 Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.

各民各族，請將光榮歸於上主，各家各戶，請將威能歸於上主。

8 Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.

請將光榮歸於上主！請進入祂的庭院奉獻祭物。

9 Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.

請穿聖潔的禮服，叩拜上主；普世大地，要在祂面前顫抖！

10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigneth;” [therefore] also the world is ever firmly established that it shall hot be moved: he will judge the people in equity.

請在萬民中高呼：上主為王！穩定寰宇，使它不再動盪，祂以正義公道治理萬邦。

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.

願諸天歡樂，願大地踴躍，願海洋及其中的一切怒號！

12 Let the field exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,

原野及其中的一切都要舞蹈，森林中的一切樹木各顯歡樂，

13 Before the Lord; for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people in his truth.

在上主面前歡樂，因為祂己駕臨，因為祂己駕臨，要統治大地乾坤；祂要以正義審判普世人群，以祂的忠信治理天下萬民。
