1 To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm. Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:
2 Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.
3 Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.
4 Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.)
5 Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.
6 The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.
7 He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.)
8 Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;
9 Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.
10 For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.
11 You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.
12 You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.
13 I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,
14 Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.
15 I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah.)
16 Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.
17 My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.
18 I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:
19 But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.
20 Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.
1 全地的居民哪！ 你们应当向 神欢呼。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）
2 你们要歌颂他名的荣耀， 把荣耀和赞美都归给他。
3 要对 神说： "你的作为多么可畏！ 因你伟大的能力， 你的仇敌必向你假意归顺。
4 全地的居民都必敬拜你， 向你歌颂， 歌颂你的名。"（细拉）
5 你们来看 神的作为， 他向世人所作的事是可畏惧的。
6 他把海变为干地， 众人就步行过河， 我们要在那里因他欢喜。
7 他以自己的权能永远统管万有， 他的眼睛鉴察万国， 悖逆的人不可自高。（细拉）
8 万民哪！ 你们要称颂我们的 神， 宣扬赞美他的声音。
9 他保全我们的性命， 不使我们的脚动摇。
10 神啊！ 你试炼了我们， 熬炼了我们， 如同熬炼银子一般。
11 你使我们进入网罗， 把重担放在我们的背上。
12 你使人驾车轧我们的头， 我们经过水火， 你却把我们领到丰盛之地。
13 我要带着燔祭进你的殿， 我要向你还我的愿，
14 就是在急难的时候， 我嘴唇所许的， 我口里所说的。
15 我要把肥美的牲畜作燔祭， 连同公绵羊的馨香祭献给你， 我并且要把公牛和公山羊献上。（细拉）
16 所有敬畏 神的人哪！ 你们都要来听， 我要述说他为我所行的事。
17 我曾用口向他呼求， 我曾用舌头颂赞他。
18 如果我心里偏向罪孽， 主必不听；
19 神却垂听了， 他留心听了我祷告的声音。
20 神是应当称颂的， 他没有拒绝我的祷告， 也没有使他的慈爱离开我。
