詩篇66:1-20


66:1 (一篇詩歌,交與伶長。)全地都當向上帝歡呼!
66:2
歌頌他名的榮耀!用讚美的言語將他的榮耀發明!
66:3
當對上帝說:你的作為何等可畏!因你的大能,仇敵要投降你。
66:4
全地要敬拜你,歌頌你,要歌頌你的名。(細拉)
66:5
你們來看上帝所行的,他向世人所做之事是可畏的。
66:6
他將海變成乾地,眾民步行過河;我們在那裡因他歡喜。
66:7
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)
66:8
萬民哪,你們當稱頌我們的上帝,使人得聽讚美他的聲音。
66:9
他使我們的性命存活,也不叫我們的腳搖動。
66:10
上帝啊,你曾試驗我們,熬煉我們,如熬煉銀子一樣。
66:11
你使我們進入網羅,把重擔放在我們的身上。
66:12
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。
66:13
我要用燔祭進你的殿,向你還我的願,
66:14
就是在急難時我嘴唇所發的、口中所許的。
66:15
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)
66:16
凡敬畏上帝的人,你們都來聽!我要述說他為我所行的事。
66:17
我曾用口求告他;我的舌頭也稱他為高。
66:18
我若心裡注重罪孽,主必不聽。
66:19
但上帝實在聽見了;他側耳聽了我禱告的聲音。
66:20
上帝是應當稱頌的!他並沒有推卻我的禱告,也沒有叫他的慈愛離開我。

For the director of music. A song. A psalm.
Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
    Sing the glory of his name;
    make his praise glorious.
Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
    So great is your power
    that your enemies cringe before you.
All the earth bows down to you;
    they sing praise to you,
    they sing the praises of your name.”[a]
Come and see what God has done,
    his awesome deeds for mankind!
He turned the sea into dry land,
    they passed through the waters on foot—
    come, let us rejoice in him.
He rules forever by his power,
    his eyes watch the nations—
    let not the rebellious rise up against him.
Praise our God, all peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard;
he has preserved our lives
    and kept our feet from slipping.
10 For you, God, tested us;
    you refined us like silver.
11 You brought us into prison
    and laid burdens on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and water,
    but you brought us to a place of abundance.
13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings
    and fulfill my vows to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
    when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
    and an offering of rams;
    I will offer bulls and goats.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God;
    let me tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
    his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened;
19 but God has surely listened
    and has heard my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
    who has not rejected my prayer
    or withheld his love from me!

    詩人心中的感動是來自於:「但上帝實在聽見了;他側耳聽了我禱告的聲音。上帝是應當稱頌的!他並沒有推卻我的禱告,也沒有叫他的慈愛離開我。」

    這不一定說是上帝應允禱告,照著詩人的禱告成就,而是詩人感受到上帝的看重,認定他是一個義人,就是與上帝有合宜關係的人,因為「我若心裡注重罪孽,主必不聽。」

    然而我們如何認定我們是上帝眼中的義人呢?是透過主耶穌!我們信靠主耶穌之後,就是披戴基督,基督的義就成為我們的義,就能為上帝所接納成為上帝的兒女,活在上帝的賜福之中,而不是憤怒之中!
