¹耶和華的僕人大衛的詩，交給詩班長。在耶和華拯救他脫離所有仇敵和掃羅的手的日子，他向耶和華唱出這首歌的歌詞。他說：耶和華我的力量啊！我愛你。

²耶和華是我的巖石、我的山寨、我的救主、我的　神、我的磐石、我所投靠的、我的盾牌、我救恩的角、我的高臺。

²Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

³我向那當受讚美的耶和華呼求，就得到拯救，脫離我的仇敵。

³I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.

⁴死亡的繩索環繞我，毀滅的急流淹沒了我。

⁴The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

⁵陰間的繩索圍繞著我，死亡的網羅迎面而來。

⁵The cords of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. were around me. The snares of death came on me.

⁶急難臨到我的時候，我求告耶和華，我向我的　神呼求；他從殿中聽了我的聲音，我在他面前的呼求進了他的耳中。

⁶In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

⁷那時大地搖撼震動，群山的根基也都動搖，它們搖撼，是因為耶和華發怒。

⁷Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

⁸濃煙從他的鼻孔往上冒，烈火從他的口中噴出來，連炭也燒著了。

⁸Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

⁹他使天下垂，親自降臨；在他的腳下黑雲密布。

⁹He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

¹⁰他乘著基路伯飛行，藉著風的翅膀急飛。

¹⁰He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.

¹¹他以黑暗作他的隱密處，他以濃黑的水氣，就是天空的密雲，作他四周的帷帳。

¹¹He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

¹²密雲、冰雹與火炭，從他面前的光輝經過。

¹²At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.

¹³耶和華在天上打雷，至高者發出聲音，發出冰雹和火炭。

¹³Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.

¹⁴他射出箭來，使它們四散；他連連發出閃電，使它們混亂。

¹⁴He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.

¹⁵耶和華斥責一發，你鼻孔的氣一出，海底就出現，大地的根基也顯露。

¹⁵Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

¹⁶他從高處伸手抓住我，把我從大水中拉上來。

¹⁶He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.

¹⁷他救我脫離我的強敵，脫離那些恨我的人，因為他們比我強盛。

¹⁷He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁸在我遭難的日子，他們來攻擊我，但耶和華是我的支持。

¹⁸They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

¹⁹他又領我出去，到那寬闊之地；他搭救我，因為他喜悅我。

¹⁹He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²⁰耶和華按著我的公義報答我，照著我手中的清潔回報我。

²⁰Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

²¹因為我謹守了耶和華的道，未曾作惡離開我的　神。

²¹For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²²因為他的一切典章常擺在我面前，他的律例，我未曾丟棄。

²²For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.

²³我在他面前作完全的人，我也謹慎自己，脫離我的罪孽。

²³I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

²⁴所以耶和華按著我的公義，照著我在他眼前手中的清潔回報我。

²⁴Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

²⁵對慈愛的人，你顯出你的慈愛；對完全的人，你顯出你的完全；

²⁵With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.

²⁶對清潔的人，你顯出你的清潔；對狡詐的人，你顯出你的機巧。

²⁶With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

²⁷謙卑的人，你要拯救；高傲的眼睛，你要貶低。

²⁷For you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.

²⁸耶和華啊！你點亮了我的燈；我的　神照明了我的黑暗。

²⁸For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

²⁹藉著你，我攻破敵軍；靠著我的　神，我跳過牆垣。

²⁹For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.

³⁰這位　神，他的道路是完全的；耶和華的話是煉淨的；凡是投靠他的，他都作他們的盾牌。

³⁰As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

³¹除了耶和華，誰是　神呢？除了我們的　神，誰是磐石呢？

³¹For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,

³²他是那位以能力給我束腰的　神，他使我的道路完全。

³³他使我的腳像母鹿的蹄，又使我站穩在高處。

³³He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.

³⁴他教導我的手怎樣作戰，又使我的手臂可以拉開銅弓。

³⁴He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

³⁵你把你救恩的盾牌賜給我，你的右手扶持我，你的溫柔使我昌大。

³⁵You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

³⁶你使我腳底下的路徑寬闊，我的兩膝沒有動搖。

³⁶You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.

³⁷我追趕仇敵，把他們追上；不消滅他們，我必不歸回。

³⁷I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.

³⁸我重創他們，使他們不能起來；他們都倒在我的腳下。

³⁸I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

³⁹你以能力給我束腰，使我能夠作戰；你又使那些起來攻擊我的人都屈服在我的腳下。

³⁹For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

⁴⁰你使我的仇敵在我面前轉背逃跑，使我可以殲滅恨我的人。

⁴⁰You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

⁴¹他們呼叫，卻沒有人拯救；就算向耶和華呼求，他也不答應他們。

⁴¹They cried, but there was none to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

⁴²我搗碎他們，像風前的塵土，我傾倒他們，像街上的爛泥。

⁴²Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.

⁴³你救我脫離了人民的爭競，你立我作列國的元首；我不認識的人民要服事我。

⁴³You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

⁴⁴他們一聽見，就服從我；外族人都向我假意歸順。

⁴⁴As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

⁴⁵外族人大勢已去，戰戰兢兢地從他們的要塞走出來。

⁴⁵The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.

⁴⁶耶和華是永活的，我的磐石是應當稱頌的，拯救我的　神是應當被尊為至高的。

⁴⁶Yahweh lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,

⁴⁷他是那位為我伸冤的　神，他使萬民服在我的腳下。

⁴⁷even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.

⁴⁸他救我脫離我的仇敵。你還把我高舉起來，高過那些起來攻擊我的人，又救我脫離了強暴的人。

⁴⁸He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

⁴⁹因此，耶和華啊！我要在列國中稱讚你，歌頌你的名。

⁴⁹Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.

⁵⁰耶和華賜極大的救恩給他所立的王，又向他的受膏者施慈愛，就是向大衛和他的後裔施慈愛，直到永遠。

⁵⁰He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, forevermore.
