1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Which holdeth 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 the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor 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。
