1Al direttore del coro. Canto. Salmo. Fate acclamazioni a Dio, voi tutti, abitanti della terra!2Cantate la gloria del suo nome, onoratelo con la vostra lode!3Dite a Dio: «Come son tremende le opere tue! Per la grandezza della tua potenza i tuoi nemici ti aduleranno.4Tutta la terra si prostrerà davanti a te e canterà a te, canterà al tuo nome». [Pausa]5Venite e ammirate le opere di Dio; egli è tremendo nelle sue azioni verso i figli degli uomini.6Egli cambiò il mare in terra asciutta; il popolo passò il fiume a piedi; perciò esultiamo in lui.7Egli, con la sua potenza domina in eterno; i suoi occhi osservano le nazioni; i ribelli non possono insorgere contro di lui! [Pausa]8Benedite il nostro Dio, o popoli, e fate risuonare a piena voce la sua lode!9Egli ha conservato in vita l’anima nostra e non ha permesso che il nostro piede vacillasse.10Poiché tu ci hai messi alla prova, o Dio, ci hai passati al crogiuolo come l’argento.11Ci hai fatti cadere nella rete, hai posto un grave peso ai nostri fianchi.12Hai fatto cavalcare uomini sul nostro capo; siamo passati attraverso il fuoco e l’acqua, ma poi ci hai tratti fuori in un luogo di refrigerio.13Entrerò nella tua casa con olocausti, adempirò le mie promesse,14le promesse che le mie labbra hanno pronunciate, che la mia bocca ha proferite nel momento della difficoltà.15Ti offrirò olocausti di bestie grasse e il profumo di montoni; sacrificherò buoi e capri. [Pausa]16Venite e ascoltate, voi tutti che temete Dio! Io vi racconterò quel che ha fatto per l’anima mia.17Lo invocai con la mia bocca e la mia lingua lo glorificò.18Se nel mio cuore avessi tramato il male, il Signore non mi avrebbe ascoltato.19Ma Dio ha ascoltato; è stato attento alla voce della mia preghiera.20Benedetto sia Dio, che non ha respinto la mia preghiera e non mi ha negato la sua grazia.
1Dem Chorleiter. Ein Lied. Ein Psalm. Jauchzt Gott, alle Welt! (Sal 98,4; Sal 100,1)2Besingt die Herrlichkeit seines Namens, macht herrlich sein Lob! (Ne 9,5; Sal 68,33; Is 6,3)3Sprecht zu Gott: Wie furchtbar sind deine Werke! Wegen der Größe deiner Macht werden dir deine Feinde ⟨Ergebung⟩ heucheln. (Sal 18,45; Sal 68,36; Is 40,26)4Die ganze Erde wird dich anbeten und dir Psalmen singen; sie wird deinen Namen besingen. // (Sal 96,1)5Kommt und seht die Großtaten Gottes! Furchtbar ist ⟨sein⟩ Tun gegenüber den Menschenkindern. (Sal 46,9; Sal 47,3)6Er wandelte das Meer in trockenes ⟨Land⟩: durch den Strom gehen sie hinüber zu Fuß. Dort haben wir uns an ihm gefreut. (Eso 14,22; Gios 3,17)7Durch seine Macht herrscht er auf ewig; seine Augen beobachten die Nationen[1], dass die Widerspenstigen sich nicht erheben. // (Sal 33,13; Sal 75,5; Da 4,34)8Preist, ihr Völker, unseren Gott, und lasst hören den Klang seines Lobes; (Sal 45,18; Sal 117,1)9der unsere Seele zum Leben bringt und nicht zugelassen hat, dass unsere Füße wankten! (Sal 55,23)10Denn du hast uns geprüft, Gott, du hast uns geläutert, wie man Silber läutert. (Zac 13,9; Mal 3,3)11Du hast uns ins Netz gehen lassen, hast eine drückende Last[2] auf unsere Hüften gelegt.12Du hast Menschen über unseren Kopf reiten lassen; wir sind ins Feuer und ins Wasser gekommen, aber du hast uns herausgeführt zum Überfluss[3]. (Is 43,2)13Ich will eingehen in dein Haus mit Brandopfern, will dir erfüllen meine Gelübde, (De 12,11; Sal 65,2)14zu denen sich meine Lippen aufgetan haben und die mein Mund ausgesprochen hat in meiner Not. (Giudic 11,35)15Brandopfer von Mastvieh will ich dir opfern zusammen mit Opferrauch von Widdern; Rinder mit Böcken will ich zubereiten. // (Esd 8,35)16Kommt, hört zu, alle, die ihr Gott fürchtet, dass ich erzähle, was er an meiner Seele getan hat. (Mal 3,16; Mar 5,20)17Zu ihm rief ich mit meinem Munde, und Erhebung ⟨seines Namens⟩ war unter meiner Zunge. (Sal 30,9)18Wenn ich es in meinem Herzen auf Götzendienst abgesehen hätte, so würde der Herr nicht hören. (Giov 9,31)19Doch Gott hat gehört, er hat geachtet auf die Stimme meines Gebets. (Lam 3,56)20Gepriesen sei Gott, der nicht verworfen hat mein Gebet noch seine Gnade von mir ⟨zurückzieht⟩! (Sal 31,22)
1Shout for joy to God, all the earth; (Sal 81,1; Sal 95,1; Sal 98,4; Sal 100,1)2sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! (Gios 7,19; Is 42,12)3Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. (Sal 18,44; Sal 65,5)4All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” Selah (Sal 22,27)5Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. (Sal 3,1; Sal 46,8; Sal 66,16)6He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him, (Eso 14,21; Gios 3,14; Sal 74,15)7who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah (Sal 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. (Sal 121,3)10For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. (Giob 23,10)11You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; (Lam 1,13; Ez 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. (Is 43,2; Is 51,23)13I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will perform my vows to you, (Sal 50,14)14that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble. (Sal 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. Selah16Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. (Sal 34,11; Sal 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. (Giob 27,9; Giob 36,21; Prov 28,9; Is 59,2; Giov 9,31; Giac 4,3)19But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. (Sal 116,1; Sal 116,2)20Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!
Salmo 66
King James Version
1To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:2Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.3Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.4All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.5Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.6He turned the sea into dry land : they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.7He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.8O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:9Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.10For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.11Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.12Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place .13I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,14Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.15I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.16Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.17I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.18If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me :19But verily God hath heard me ; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.20Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
