1 [To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm.] Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:2 Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.4 All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah.5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in {his} doings toward the children of men.6 He turned the sea into dry {land}; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.8 Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;9 Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.11 Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;12 Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.15 I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.16 Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.17 I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.18 Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.19 But God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness 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。
