< Psalms 66 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm.] Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth.
一篇诗歌,交与伶长。 全地都当向 神欢呼!
2 Sing to the glory of his name. Offer glory and praise.
歌颂他名的荣耀! 用赞美的言语将他的荣耀发明!
3 Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds. Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
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 will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name." (Selah)
全地要敬拜你,歌颂你, 要歌颂你的名。 (细拉)
5 Come, and see God's deeds—awesome work on behalf of the descendants of Adam.
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, we rejoiced 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 rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious rise up against him. (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 Praise our God, you peoples. Make the sound of his praise 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 preserves our life among the living, and doesn't allow 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 you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
神啊,你曾试验我们, 熬炼我们,如熬炼银子一样。
11 You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
你使我们进入网罗, 把重担放在我们的身上。
12 You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us out to a spacious place.
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 come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
我要用燔祭进你的殿, 向你还我的愿,
14 which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
就是在急难时我嘴唇所发的、 口中所许的。
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls 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, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has 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 cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
我曾用口求告他; 我的舌头也称他为高。
18 If I cherished sin in my heart, YHWH wouldn't have listened.
我若心里注重罪孽, 主必不听。
19 But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard 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 has 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。
