¹大衛的詩，是在逃避他兒子押沙龍時作的。（除特別註明外，詩篇開首細字的標題在《馬索拉抄本》都屬於第1節，原文的第2節即是譯文的第1節，依次類推。）耶和華啊！我的仇敵竟然這麼多。起來攻擊我的竟然那麼多。

¹Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

²有很多人議論我說：“他從　神那裡得不到救助。”（細拉）

²Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” .” Selah.

³耶和華啊！你卻是我周圍的盾牌，是我的榮耀，是使我抬起頭來的。

³But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

⁴我發聲向耶和華呼求的時候，他就從他的聖山上回答我。（細拉）

⁴I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.

⁵我躺下，我睡覺，我醒來，都因耶和華在扶持著我。

⁵I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.

⁶雖有千萬人包圍攻擊我，我也不怕。

⁶I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.

⁷耶和華啊！求你起來；我的　神啊！求你拯救我，你擊打了我所有仇敵的臉頰，打碎了惡人的牙齒。

⁷Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

⁸救恩屬於耶和華，願你賜福給你的子民。（細拉）

⁸Salvation belongs to Yahweh. Your blessing be on your people. Selah.
