Psalms

（一篇詩歌，交與伶長。）全地都當向神歡呼！

[To the chief Musician, A Song {or} Psalm.] Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: {all...: Heb. all the earth}

歌頌他名的榮耀！用讚美的言語將他的榮耀發明！

Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

當對神說：你的作為何等可畏！因你的大能，仇敵要投降你。

Say unto God, How terrible {art thou in} thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. {submit...: or, yield feigned obedience: Heb. lie}

全地要敬拜你，歌頌你，要歌頌你的名。（細拉）

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing {to} thy name. Selah.

你們來看神所行的，他向世人所做之事是可畏的。

Come and see the works of God: {he is} terrible {in his} doing toward the children of men.

他將海變成乾地，眾民步行過河；我們在那裡因他歡喜。

He turned the sea into dry {land}: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

他用權能治理萬民，直到永遠。他的眼睛鑒察列邦；悖逆的人不可自高。（細拉）

He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

萬民哪，你們當稱頌我們的神，使人得聽讚美他的聲音。

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

他使我們的性命存活，也不叫我們的腳搖動。

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. {holdeth: Heb. putteth}

神啊，你曾試驗我們，熬煉我們，如熬煉銀子一樣。

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

你使我們進入網羅，把重擔放在我們的身上。

Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

你使人坐車軋我們的頭；我們經過水火，你卻使我們到豐富之地。

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}. {wealthy: Heb. moist}

我要用燔祭進你的殿，向你還我的願，

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

就是在急難時我嘴唇所發的、口中所許的。

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. {uttered: Heb. opened}

我要把肥牛作燔祭，將公羊的香祭獻給你，又把公牛和山羊獻上。（細拉）

I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. {fatlings: Heb. marrow}

凡敬畏神的人，你們都來聽！我要述說他為我所行的事。

Come {and} hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

我曾用口求告他；我的舌頭也稱他為高。

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

我若心裡注重罪孽，主必不聽。

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear {me}:

但神實在聽見了；他側耳聽了我禱告的聲音。

{But} verily God hath heard {me}; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

神是應當稱頌的！他並沒有推卻我的禱告，也沒有叫他的慈愛離開我。

Blessed {be} God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
