1Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to battle:
1大卫的诗。耶和华我的磐石是应当称颂的。他教导我的手作战,训练我的指头打仗。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题)
2my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge; who subdues my people under me.
2他是我慈爱的 神、我的堡垒、我的高台、我的救主、我的盾牌、我所投靠的,他使我的人民服在我以下。
3Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?
3耶和华啊!人算什么,你竟关怀他,世人算什么,你竟眷念他。
4Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.
4人不过像一口气,他的年日仿佛影子消逝。
5Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
5耶和华啊!求你使天下垂,亲自降临;求你触摸群山,使山冒烟。
6Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.
6求你发出闪电,使仇敌四散;求你射出你的箭,使他们溃乱。
7Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners;
7求你从高天伸手救拔我,从大水之中,从外族人的手里拯救我。
8whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
8他们的口说虚谎的话,他们举起右手起假誓。
9I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.
9 神啊!我要向你唱新歌,我要用十弦琴向你歌唱。
10You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.
10你是那使君王得胜的,是那救拔你(“你”原文作“他”)仆人大卫脱离杀人的刀的。
11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
11求你救拔我,从外族人的手里拯救我;他们的口说虚谎的话,他们举起右手起假誓。
12Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
12愿我们的儿子,在幼年时都像旺盛的树木;愿我们的女儿如同殿四角的柱子,为建造殿宇而凿成的。
13Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
13愿我们的仓库满溢,各种粮食不缺;愿我们牧场上的羊群,孳生千万。
14Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.
14愿我们的牛群满驮货物;城墙没有缺口,没有人出去争战(“愿我们......出去争战”或译:“愿我们的牛群多生多养,没有流产,没有死掉”),在我们的街上也没有呼叫的声音。
15Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.
15得享这样景况的人民,是有福的,有耶和华作他们 神的,这人是有福的。
