all nations, bow with sacred joy;
know that the Lord is God alone,
he can create, and he destroy—
he can create, and he destroy.
made us of dust and formed us men;
and when like wand’ring sheep we strayed,
he brought us to his fold again—
he brought us to his fold again.
our souls and all our mortal frame;
what lasting honors shall we rear,
almighty Maker, to your name?—
almighty Maker, to your name?
high as the heav’ns our voices raise;
and earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
shall fill your courts with sounding praise—
shall fill your courts with sounding praise.
vast as eternity your love;
firm as a rock your truth must stand,
when rolling years shall cease to move—
when rolling years shall cease to move.
From sin restrains his feet,
Who will not stand with wicked men,
Who shuns the scorners’ seat.
His portion and delight,
And meditates upon that law
With gladness day and night.
Set by the river’s side;
Its leaf is green, its fruit is sure,
And thus his works abide.
Are swept from off the land;
They shall not gather with the just,
Nor in the judgment stand.
Their way to Him is known;
The way of sinners, far from God,
Shall surely be o’erthrown.
And my salvation near;
Who shall my soul affright,
Or cause my heart to fear?
While God my strength, my life sustains,
Secure from fear my soul remains.
To make my life their prey,
They stumbled in their shame
And fell in sore dismay;
Though hosts make war on ev’ry side,
Still fearless I in God confide.
And still this prayer I raise,
That I may dwell within
God’s house through all my days,
Jehovah’s beauty to admire,
And in His temple to inquire.
When fears and dangers throng,
Securely I will dwell
In His pavilion strong;
Within the covert of His tent
He hides me till the storm is spent.
Above my foes around,
Amid the battle shock
My song shall still resound;
Then joyful off’rings I will bring,
Jehovah’s praise my heart shall sing.
Eternal King of kings,
Who only is omnipotent,
Performing wondrous things.
For evermore, Amen,
And let His glory fill the earth
From shore to shore. Amen.
Now with joyful exultation
欢呼歌唱赞美祂；
Let us sing Jehovah’s praise,
向拯救我们的磐石，
To the Rock of our salvation
高声欢唱和撒那。
Loud hosannas let us raise;
高兴欢喜感恩奉献，
Thankful tribute gladly bringing,
我们到祂面前来，
Let us come before Him now,
并以诗篇赞美歌颂，
And, with psalms His praises singing,
在祂面前喜伏拜。
Joyful in His presence bow.
For, how great a God, and glorious,
荣耀伟大至高主；
Is Jehovah Whom we sing;
超乎偶像万神之上，
Over idol-gods victorious,
上帝为万王之王，
Great is He, our God and King.
地的深处在祂手中，
In His hand are earth’s deep places,
山的高峰也属祂；
His the strength of all the hills,
海洋属祂，是祂造的，
His the sea whose bounds He traces,
旱地也是祂造成。
His the land His bounty fills.
To the Lord, such might revealing,
屈身敬拜祂面前；
Let us come with rev’rence meet,
在造物主面前跪下，
And, before our Maker kneeling,
在祂足旁齐下拜；
Let us worship at His feet.
我们的主引领我们，
He is our own God and leads us,
使祂子民蒙眷顾；
We the people of His care;
草场的羊祂必喂养，
With a shepherd’s hand He feeds us
手下的民祂牧养。
As His flock in pastures fair.
While He proffers peace and pardon
蒙祂赦免赐平安；
Let us hear His voice today,
免得我们心变刚硬，
Lest, if we our hearts should harden,
人生半途要灭亡；
We should perish in the way;
免得向我们陷不信，
Lest to us, so unbelieving,
祂审判时必宣告；
He in judgment shall declare:
“因叫我灵长久忧伤，
Ye, so long My Spirit grieving,
你必不享我安息。”
Never in My rest can share.
Jehovah is my light,
我的拯救临近，
And my salvation near;
有谁使我魂惊，
Who shall my soul affright,
有谁使我害怕？
Or cause my heart to fear?
主賜力量保守生命，
While God my strength, my life sustains,
我不惧怕，灵魂安稳。
Secure from fear my soul remains.
When evildoers came
要伤害我生命，
To make my life their prey,
他们蒙羞绊倒，
They stumbled in their shame
转眼灰飞烟灭，
And fell in sore dismay;
众敌多方攻击何妨，
Though hosts make war on ev’ry side,
我全靠主，坦然无惧。
Still fearless I in God confide.
My one request has been,
现在同样祷告，
And still this prayer I raise,
我要终我一生，
That I may dwell within
在主圣所居住，
God’s house through all my days,
瞻仰耶和华的容美，
Jehovah’s beauty to admire,
在圣殿里向祂寻求。
And in His temple to inquire.
When troubles round me swell,
危险惊惧围困，
When fears and dangers throng,
我要安然居住，
Securely I will dwell
在祂坚固保障，
In His pavilion strong;
把我隐藏帐幕密处，
Within the covert of His tent
祂收藏我度过风浪。
He hides me till the storm is spent.
Uplifted on a rock
高举磐石之上，
Above my foes around,
在战争喧嚣中，
Amid the battle shock
我仍歌声响亮，
My song shall still resound;
我高兴到主前献祭，
Then joyful off’rings I will bring,
我心向耶和华歌唱。
Jehovah’s praise my heart shall sing.
My faith looks up to thee,
你在十字架上，
thou Lamb of Calvary,
我的救主！
Savior divine;
求你听我祷告，
now hear me while I pray,
将我罪孽全消，
take all my guilt away,
使我从今到老，
O let me from this day
永远属主。
be wholly thine.
May thy rich grace impart
在这软弱心内，
strength to my fainting heart,
燃起热情！
my zeal inspire;
你既为我流血，
as thou hast died for me,
我要爱你深切，
O may my love to thee
纯洁，热烈,永恒，
pure, warm, and changeless be,
如火通明。
a living fire.
While life’s dark maze I tread,
四围痛苦密布，
and griefs around me spread,
求你引领！
be thou my guide;
为我化暗为明，
bid darkness turn to day,
为我洗净泪痕，
wipe sorrow’s tears away,
免我迷失路程，
nor let me ever stray
离主孤行。
from thee aside.
When ends life’s transient dream,
死河要起寒波，
when death’s cold, sullen stream
淹没我身；
shall o’er me roll,
那时求主施恩，
blest Savior, then, in love,
消除疑惧忧惊，
fear and distrust remove;
带我平安而归，
O bear me safe above,
永远快乐。
a ransomed soul.
Now blessed be Jehovah God,
以色列的上帝，
The God of Israel,
唯有祂能独行奇事，
Who only doeth wondrous works,
荣耀超越万有；
In glory that excel;
唯有祂能独行奇事，
Who only doeth wondrous works,
荣耀超越万有。
In glory that excel.
And blessed be His glorious Name
直到永永远远；
To all eternity;
祂的荣耀充满遍地，
The whole earth let His glory fill.
阿们，诚心所愿；
Amen: So let it be;
祂的荣耀充满遍地，
The whole earth let His glory fill.
阿们，诚心所愿。
Amen: So let it be.
