上帝是至高的君王
(平行经文:历代志上16:23-33)
1你们要向耶和华唱新歌,
普世都要向耶和华歌唱。
2要向耶和华歌唱,称颂祂的名,
天天传扬祂的拯救之恩。
3要在列国述说祂的荣耀,
在万民中述说祂的奇妙作为。
4因为耶和华无比伟大,
当受至高的颂扬;
祂超越一切神明,当受敬畏。
5列邦的神明都是假的,
唯独耶和华创造了诸天。
6祂尊贵威严,
祂的圣所充满能力和荣美。
7万族万民啊,
要把荣耀和能力归给耶和华,
归给耶和华!
8要把耶和华当得的荣耀归给祂,
要带着祭物到祂的院宇敬拜祂。
9你们当在圣洁的耶和华面前俯伏敬拜,
大地要在祂面前战抖。
10要告诉列国:
“耶和华掌权,
祂使大地坚立不摇,
祂必公正地审判万民。”
11愿天欢喜,愿地快乐,
愿海和其中的一切都欢呼澎湃。
12愿田野和其中的万物都喜气洋洋,
愿林中的树木都欢然赞美耶和华。
13因为祂要来审判大地,
祂要按公义审判世界,
凭祂的信实审判万民。
