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。
