Psalms

1Make 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.

1Cả trái đất, hãy tung hô Thiên Chúa,

2nào dâng lời ca tụng tôn vinh !

3Trước thần lực uy hùng, địch thù khúm núm.

4và đàn ca mừng Chúa, đàn ca mừng Thánh Danh.”

5thật đáng kinh đáng sợ !

6việc Người làm đó khiến ta hoan hỷ.

7quân làm phản chớ có hòng nổi dậy !

8trổi vang lên lời tán dương Người,

9và giữ gìn ta khỏi lỡ bước sa chân.

10luyện chúng con như luyện bạc trong lò,

11gánh nặng nề chồng chất cả trên vai,

12nhưng Ngài đã cứu thoát, đem ra chỗ thảnh thơi.

13con xin giữ trọn điều khấn hứa cùng Ngài,

14miệng thốt ra lúc gặp gian nguy.

15làm lễ toàn thiêu nghi ngút bay lên.

16đến mà nghe tôi kể việc Chúa đã làm để giúp tôi.

17tấc lưỡi tán dương, tôi đã sẵn sàng.

18chắc hẳn là Chúa chẳng nghe đâu.

19Thế mà Thiên Chúa đã nghe rồi, để tâm đến lời tôi cầu nguyện.

20lại cũng không dứt nghĩa đoạn tình.
