“May Glory and Praise Be to Our Creator and Saviour 願榮耀頌讚歸給我們的創造主和救贖主“（Psalm詩篇96:1-6）
Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvellous deeds among all peoples. For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendour and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary.
你們要向耶和華唱新歌，全地都要向耶和華歌唱。要向耶和華歌唱，稱頌他的名，天天傳揚他的救恩。要在列國中述說他的榮耀。在萬民中述說他奇妙的作為。因為耶和華是偉大的，該受極大的讚美，他當受敬畏，過於眾神之上。因為萬民的神都是虛空的偶像，但耶和華創造了諸天。尊榮和威嚴在他面前，能力和華美在他聖所之中。
This wonderful psalm first speaks to God’s people, then to all the nations of the earth, and finally to the whole creation itself. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the psalmist saw a day when all the earth would sing to God songs, especially a new song which could come from old saints as they gained fresh awareness of His love and grace. These songs also proclaimed His salvation and declared His glory and His wonders to the whole world. God deserves worship from the entire earth because He is the Creator who made the heavens, not like the gods and idols of the pagans. God’s greatness and power give Him a regal, royal bearing. He is marked by strength and beauty.
這美妙的詩篇首先提及神的子民，之後地上的萬國，最後整個創造本身。在聖靈的默示之下，詩人看見全地會向神唱詩歌的一天，特別是從那些對神的慈愛和恩典，有著新鮮軆認的年老聖徒的新歌。這些詩歌也傳揚祂的救恩，並向全世界宣告祂的榮耀和奇妙作為。神配得從全地而來的敬拜，因為祂是造諸天的創造主，不像外邦人的神明、偶像。神的偉大和權能給祂一個莊嚴、皇家的風度，以力量和榮美為記。
Prayer: Our Glorious Creator and Saviour, you are not a local deity but the God of all the creation. We have new mercies from you to celebrate and thus must have/sing new songs. The good news of our redemption is sweet from day to day. We should never stop proclaiming the gospel of your salvation. May we let Jesus Christ become King of our heart and never hesitate in singing unto Him a new song, showing forth in public His salvation and declaring His glory. Amen.
禱告: 我們榮耀的創造主和救贖主啊，你不是一位本地的神明，卻是一切創造的那位神。我們從你有著新的慈悲憐憫去慶祝，因此一定要唱新的詩歌。一日又一日，我們救恩的好消息都是甜美的；我們理應從不停止傳揚你救恩的福音。願我們讓耶穌基督成為我們心中的王，永不猶豫向祂唱新歌，公開表明祂的救恩，並宣告祂的榮耀。阿們。
