第 66 篇
颂赞与感恩
一首诗歌，交给乐长。
1世人啊，你们要向上帝欢呼，
2颂赞祂荣耀的名，
赞美祂的荣耀。
3要对上帝说：“你的作为令人敬畏！
你的大能使敌人屈膝投降。
4普天下都敬拜你，
颂赞你，颂赞你的名。”（细拉）
5来吧，看看上帝的作为，
祂为世人行了何等奇妙的事！
6祂将沧海变为干地，
让百姓步行经过。
让我们因祂的作为而欢欣吧！
7祂以大能永远掌权，
祂的眼目鉴察列国，
悖逆之徒不可在祂面前妄自尊大。（细拉）
8列邦啊，要赞美我们的上帝，
让歌颂祂的声音四处飘扬。
9祂保全我们的生命，
不让我们失脚滑倒。
10上帝啊，你试验我们，
熬炼我们如熬炼银子。
11你让我们陷入网罗，
把重担压在我们的背上。
12你让别人骑在我们的头上。
我们曾经历水火，
但你带我们到达丰盛之地。
13我要带着燔祭来到你殿中，
履行我向你许的誓言，
14就是我在危难中许下的誓言。
15我要献上肥美的牲畜，
以公绵羊作馨香之祭献给你，
我要献上公牛和山羊。（细拉）
16敬畏上帝的人啊，
你们都来听吧，
我要告诉你们祂为我所做的事。
17我曾开口向祂呼求，
扬声赞美祂。
18倘若我心中藏匿罪恶，
主必不垂听我的呼求。
19然而，上帝听了我的祷告，
倾听了我的祈求。
20上帝当受称颂！
祂没有对我的祷告拒而不听，
也没有收回祂对我的慈爱。
Psalm 66
For the director of music. A song. A psalm.
1Shout to God for joy, everyone on earth!
2Sing about the glory of his name!
Give him glorious praise!
3Say to God, “What wonderful things you do!
Your power is so great
that your enemies bow down to you in fear.
4Everyone on earth bows down to you.
They sing praise to you.
They sing the praises of your name.”
5Come and see what God has done.
See what wonderful things he has done for people!
6He turned the Red Sea into dry land.
The people of Israel passed through the waters on foot.
Come, let us be full of joy because of what he did.
7He rules by his power forever.
His eyes watch the nations.
Let no one who refuses to obey him rise up against him.
8Praise our God, all you nations.
Let the sound of the praise you give him be heard.
9He has kept us alive.
He has kept our feet from slipping.
10God, you have tested us.
You put us through fire to make us like silver.
11You put us in prison.
You placed heavy loads on our backs.
12You let our enemies ride their chariots over our heads.
We went through fire and water.
But you brought us to a place
where we have everything we need.
13I will come to your temple with burnt offerings.
I will keep my promises to you.
14I made them with my lips.
My mouth spoke them when I was in trouble.
15I will sacrifice fat animals to you as burnt offerings.
I will offer rams, bulls and goats to you.
16Come and hear, all you who have respect for God.
Let me tell you what he has done for me.
17I cried out to him with my mouth.
I praised him with my tongue.
18If I had enjoyed having sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.
19But God has surely listened.
He has heard my prayer.
20Give praise to God.
He has accepted my prayer.
He has not held back his love from me.
