1To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm. Shout for joy to God, all the earth; (诗81:1; 诗95:1; 诗98:4; 诗100:1)2sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! (书7:19; 赛42:12)3Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. (诗18:44; 诗65:5)4All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” (诗22:27)5Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. (诗46:8; 诗66:3; 诗66:16)6He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him, (出14:21; 书3:14; 诗74:15)7who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (诗11:4)8Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard,9who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip. (诗121:3)10For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. (伯23:10)11You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; (哀1:13; 结12:13)12you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance. (赛43:2; 赛51:23)13I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will perform my vows to you, (诗50:14)14that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble. (诗18:6)15I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals, with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams; I will make an offering of bulls and goats.16Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. (诗34:11; 诗66:5)17I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on[1] my tongue.[2]18If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. (伯27:9; 伯36:21; 箴28:9; 赛59:2; 约9:31; 雅4:3)19But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. (诗116:1)20Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!
