颂赞之诗
来啊,我们要向耶和华歌唱, 向拯救我们的磐石欢呼!O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2我们要以感谢来到他面前, 用诗歌向他欢呼!Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3因耶和华是伟大的神, 是超越万神的大君王。For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4地的深处在他手中; 山的高峰也属他。In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5海洋属他,是他造的; 旱地也是他手造成的。The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6来啊,我们要俯伏敬拜, 在造我们的耶和华面前跪拜。O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
7因为他是我们的神; 我们是他草场的百姓,是他手中的羊。 惟愿你们今天听他的话!For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
8你们不可硬着心,像在米利巴, 就是在旷野玛撒的日子。Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

10四十年之久,我厌烦那世代,说: “这是心里迷糊的百姓, 竟不知道我的道路!”Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11所以,我在怒中起誓: “他们断不可进入我的安息!”Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
