1 Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2 Sing to the glory of his name!
Offer glory and praise!
3 Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds!
Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
4 All the earth will worship you,
and will sing to you;
they will sing to your name." Selah.
5 Come, and see God’s deeds—
awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land.
They went through the river on foot.
There, we rejoiced in him.
7 He rules by his might forever.
His eyes watch the nations.
Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.
8 Praise our God, you peoples!
Make the sound of his praise heard,
9 who preserves our life among the living,
and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.
10 For you, God, have tested us.
You have refined us, as silver is refined.
11 You brought us into prison.
You laid a burden on our backs.
12 You allowed men to ride over our heads.
We went through fire and through water,
but you brought us to the place of abundance.
13 I will come into your temple with burnt offerings.
I will pay my vows to you, 14 which my lips promised,
and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals,
with the offering of rams,
I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God.
I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth.
He was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord wouldn’t have listened.
19 But most certainly, God has listened.
He has heard the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, who has 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。
