A Song of Praise to God Coming in Judgment

  1Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!
   Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
   2Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
   Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
   3Declare His glory among the nations,
   His wonders among all peoples.
  4For the Lordis great and greatly to be praised;
   He is to be feared above all gods.
   5For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
   But the Lord made the heavens.
   6Honor and majesty are before Him;
   Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
  7Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
   Give to the Lord glory and strength.
   8Give to the Lord the glory due His name;
   Bring an offering, and come into His courts.
   9Oh, worship the Lordin the beauty of holiness!
   Tremble before Him, all the earth.
  10Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns;
   The world also is firmly established,
   It shall not be moved;
   He shall judge the peoples righteously.”
  11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
   Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;
   12Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.
   Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the Lord.
   13For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
   He shall judge the world with righteousness,
   And the peoples with His truth.

上帝是最高的君王

(代上16‧23-33)

  1你們要向耶和華唱新歌!
   全地都要向耶和華歌唱!
  2要向耶和華歌唱,稱頌他的名!
   天天傳揚他的救恩!
  3在列國中述說他的榮耀!
   在萬民中述說他的奇事!
  4因耶和華本為大,當受極大的讚美;
   他在萬神之上,當受敬畏。
  5因萬民的神明都屬虛無;
   惟獨耶和華創造諸天。
  6有尊榮和威嚴在他面前,
   有能力與華美在他聖所。

  7民中的萬族啊,要將榮耀、能力歸給耶和華,
   都歸給耶和華!
  8要將耶和華的名所當得的榮耀歸給他,
   拿供物來進入他的院宇。
  9當敬拜神聖榮耀的耶和華
   全地都要在他面前戰抖!

  10要在列國中說:「耶和華作王了!
   世界堅定,不得動搖;
   他要按公正審判萬民。」
  11願天歡喜,願地快樂!
   願海和其中所充滿的澎湃!
  12願田和其中所有的都歡樂!
   那時,林中的樹木都要在耶和華面前歡呼。
  13因為他來了,他來要審判全地。
   他要按公義審判世界,
   按信實審判萬民。
