Shout for joy to the , all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music. Psalm 98:4

全地都要向耶和华欢乐，要发起大声，欢呼歌颂！-诗篇98篇4节

Worship takes the focus off us and places it where it belongs—on God.

敬拜将我们的焦点从自己转向上帝。

Back when I was searching for a church to attend regularly, a friend invited me to a service at her church. The worship leaders led the congregation in a song I particularly loved. So I sang with gusto, remembering my college choir director’s advice to “Project!”

当我还在寻找合适的教会参加聚会时，一个朋友邀我去参加她教会的崇拜。领诗的同工带领会众唱了一首我特别喜欢的诗歌，于是我尽情高唱，并遵循我大学合唱团指挥的教导：“歌声要响亮！”

After the song, my friend’s husband turned to me and said, “You really sang loud.” This remark was not intended as a compliment! After that, I self-consciously monitored my singing, making sure I sang softer than those around me and always wondering if the people around me judged my singing.

唱完那首诗歌后，我朋友的先生转头对我说：“你真的唱得很大声！”他说这句话并没有要恭维我的意思！之后，我便刻意控制自己的歌声，确保我唱得比周围的人轻柔，脑海里还想着别人会不会评断我的歌声。

But one Sunday, I noticed the singing of a woman in the pew beside me. She seemed to sing with adoration, without a trace of self-consciousness. Her worship reminded me of the enthusiastic, spontaneous worship that David demonstrated in his life. In Psalm 98, in fact, David suggests that “all the earth” should “burst into jubilant song” in worship (v. 4).

但是有一个主日，我注意到身旁的一位姐妹，她的唱诗敬拜充满了对主的爱慕之情，简直到了忘我的境界。这也让我想起，大卫在他的生命中展现的热情、由衷的敬拜。事实上，大卫在诗篇98篇便呼吁：“全地……要发起大声，欢呼歌颂！”（4节）

Verse one of Psalm 98 tells us why we should worship joyfully, reminding us that “[God] has done marvelous things.” Throughout the psalm, David recounts these marvelous things: God’s faithfulness and justice to all nations, His mercy, and salvation. Dwelling on who God is and what He’s done can fill our hearts with praise.

诗篇98篇1节让我们明白为何要喜乐地敬拜上帝，这提醒我们“因为祂行过奇妙的事”。在整首诗篇中，大卫讲述这些奇妙的事：上帝向全地彰显祂的信实和公义、祂的怜悯和救恩。时常思想上帝和祂所行的事，能让我们的心充满赞美。

What “marvelous things” has God done in your life? Thanksgiving is the perfect time to recall His wondrous works and give God thanks. Lift your voice and sing!

上帝在你的生命中行了什么“奇妙的事”？在感恩节这天，回想上帝的奇妙作为，并向祂献上感谢，真是再恰当也不过了。大声歌唱吧！

Lord, thank You for who You are and for what You’ve done.

主啊，因祢是上帝，
并因祢成就的一切事，我们感谢祢。

INSIGHT

Psalm 98 is jubilant in its invitation to praise God. In verses 4–6, the psalmist exalts God as King. He enlists the harp, trumpets, and horn to accompany the human voices lifted in praise and adoration of the sovereign King. In verses 7–9, God is praised for being the righteous Judge. Marvelous word pictures are used to magnify His justice. The fullness of the sea is to roar, the rivers are to clap their hands, and the mountains are to be joyful together. Voice, instruments, and nature join in to praise God. We too can enter into this same spirit by joyfully worshiping the Lord for His mighty power and holy character.

Today ponder how you can worship God who is both our Creator and righteous Judge.

诗篇98篇是一首赞美诗，欢欣地邀请人们颂赞上帝。在4-6节，诗人歌颂上帝为王，用琴、号和角，伴随人们的欢呼声，赞美和崇拜这位至高的君王。在7-9节，诗人称颂上帝是公义的审判者。诗人用精妙的辞藻，描绘出一幅幅的景象，以尊崇上帝的公义审判。大海澎湃颂扬；江河欣然鼓掌；诸山也一起欢呼。颂声、乐器和大自然都齐声赞美上帝。我们也可以心存欢乐，加入这赞美的洪流，称颂上帝的大能大力，以及祂神圣的属性。

今天，不妨花点时间思想，你要如何敬拜这位创造主和公义的审判者。

Psalm 98New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 98

A psalm.

1 Sing to the Lord a new song,
    for he has done marvelous things;
his right hand and his holy arm
    have worked salvation for him.
2 The Lord has made his salvation known
    and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
3 He has remembered his love
    and his faithfulness to Israel;
all the ends of the earth have seen
    the salvation of our God.

4 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,
    burst into jubilant song with music;
5 make music to the Lord with the harp,
    with the harp and the sound of singing,
6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—
    shout for joy before the Lord, the King.

7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it,
    the world, and all who live in it.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands,
    let the mountains sing together for joy;
9 let them sing before the Lord,
    for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
    and the peoples with equity.

劝民歌颂耶和华之慈爱救恩

98 一篇诗。

1 你们要向耶和华唱新歌，因为他行过奇妙的事，他的右手和圣臂施行救恩。
2 耶和华发明了他的救恩，在列邦人眼前显出公义。
3 记念他向以色列家所发的慈爱、所凭的信实，地的四极都看见我们神的救恩。
4 全地都要向耶和华欢乐，要发起大声欢呼歌颂！
5 要用琴歌颂耶和华，用琴和诗歌的声音歌颂他，
6 用号和角声在大君王耶和华面前欢呼！
7 愿海和其中所充满的澎湃，世界和住在其间的也要发声！
8 愿大水拍手，愿诸山在耶和华面前一同欢呼！
9 因为他来要审判遍地，他要按公义审判世界，按公正审判万民。
