Psalms 96

1 O SING unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

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; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

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 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

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 great is the LORD, and highly to be 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 peoples are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

萬邦的眾神盡屬虛幻，但上主卻造成了蒼天；

6 Honour 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 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, give unto the LORD glory 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 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

請將光榮歸於上主！請進入祂的庭院奉獻祭物。

9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all the earth.

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: the world also is stablished that it cannot be moved: he shall judge the peoples with 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 be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

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 wood 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 shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with 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。
