第1章

不從惡人的計謀、不站罪人的道路、不坐褻慢人的座位、

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

惟喜愛耶和華的律法、晝夜思想、這人便爲有福。

But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁、按時候結果子、葉子也不枯乾．凡他所作的、盡都順利。

And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

惡人並不是這樣、乃像糠粃被風吹散。

The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

因此當審判的時候、惡人必站立不住．罪人在義人的會中、也是如此。

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

因爲耶和華知道義人的道路．惡人的道路、卻必滅亡。

For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish. Psalm 2

第2章

外邦爲甚麼爭鬧、萬民爲甚麼謀算虛妄的事。

Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?

世上的君王一齊起來、臣宰一同商議、要敵擋耶和華、並他的受膏者、

The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, [saying],

說、我們要掙開他們的捆綁、脫去他們的繩索。

Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us.

那坐在天上的必發笑．主必嗤笑他們。

He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.

那時他要在怒中責備他們、在烈怒中驚嚇他們、

Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:

說、我已經立我的君在錫安我的聖山上了。

Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.

受膏者說、我要傳聖旨．耶和華曾對我說、你是我的兒子、我今日生你。

I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.

你求我、我就將列國賜你爲基業、將地極賜你爲田產。

Ask of me, and I will give [thee] the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

你必用鐵杖打破他們．你必將他們如同窰匠的瓦器摔碎。

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter`s vessel.

現在你們君王應當省悟。你們世上的審判官該受管教。

Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

當存畏懼事奉耶和華、又當存戰兢而快樂。

Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

當以嘴親子、恐怕他發怒、你們便在道中滅亡、因爲他的怒氣快要發作。凡投靠他的、都是有福的。

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him. Psalm 3 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

第3章

大衞逃避他兒子押沙龍的時候作的詩。耶和華阿、我的敵人何其加增．有許多人起來攻擊我。

Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.

有許多人議論我說、他得不着神的幫助。細拉

Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah

但你耶和華是我四圍的盾牌．是我的榮耀、又是叫我抬起頭來的。

But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.

我用我的聲音求告耶和華、他就從他的聖山上應允我。細拉

I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. Selah

我躺下睡覺．我醒着．耶和華都保佑我。

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.

雖有成萬的百姓來周圍攻擊我、我也不怕。

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.

耶和華阿、求你起來．我的神阿、求你救我．因爲你打了我一切仇敵的腮骨、敲碎了惡人的牙齒。

Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

救恩屬乎耶和華．願你賜福給你的百姓。細拉

Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. Selah Psalm 4 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

第4章

大衞的詩、交與伶長．用絲絃的樂器。顯我爲義的神阿、我呼籲的時候、求你應允我．我在困苦中、你曾使我寬廣．現在求你憐恤我、聽我的禱告。

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large [when I was] in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

你們這上流人哪、你們將我的尊榮變爲羞辱、要到幾時呢．你們喜愛虛妄、尋找虛假、要到幾時呢。細拉

O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? [How long] will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah

你們要知道耶和華已經分別虔誠人歸他自己．我求告耶和華、他必聽我。

But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

你們應當畏懼、不可犯罪．在牀上的時候、要心裏思想、並要肅靜。細拉

Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah

當獻上公義的祭、又當倚靠耶和華。

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.

有許多人說、誰能指示我們甚麼好處。耶和華阿、求你仰起臉來、光照我們。

Many there are that say, Who will show us [any] good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

你使我心裏快樂、勝過那豐收五穀新酒的人。

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than [they have] when their grain and their new wine are increased.

我必安然躺下睡覺、因爲獨有你耶和華使我安然居住。

In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety. Psalm 5 For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.

第5章

大衞的詩、交與伶長、用吹的樂器。耶和華阿、求你留心聽我的言語、顧念我的心思。

Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

我的王我的神阿、求你垂聽我呼求的聲音．因爲我向你祈禱。

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

耶和華阿、早晨你必聽我的聲音．早晨我必向你陳明我的心意、並要儆醒。

O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.

因爲你不是喜悅惡事的神．惡人不能與你同居。

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

狂傲人不能站在你眼前．凡作孽的、都是你所恨惡的。

The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

說謊言的、你必滅絕．好流人血弄詭詐的、都爲耶和華所憎惡。

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

至於我、我必憑你豐盛的慈愛進入你的居所．我必存敬畏你的心向你的聖殿下拜。

But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

耶和華阿、求你因我的仇敵、憑你的公義、引領我．使你的道路在我面前正直。

Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.

因爲他們的口中沒有誠實．他們的心裏滿有邪惡．他們的喉嚨、是敞開的墳墓．他們用舌頭諂媚人。

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.

神阿、求你定他們的罪。願他們因自己的計謀跌倒．願你在他們許多的過犯中、把他們逐出．因爲他們背叛了你。

Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.

凡投靠你的、願他們喜樂、時常歡呼、因爲你護庇他們．又願那愛你名的人、都靠你歡欣。

But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

因爲你必賜福與義人．耶和華阿、你必用恩惠如同盾牌四面護衞他。

For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield. Psalm 6 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

第6章

大衞的詩、交與伶長、用絲絃的樂器、調用第八。耶和華阿、求你不要在怒中責備我、也不要在烈怒中懲罰我。

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

耶和華阿、求你可憐我．因爲我輭弱。耶和華阿、求你醫治我．因爲我的骨頭發戰。

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.

我心也大大的驚惶。耶和華阿、你要到幾時纔救我呢。

My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?

耶和華阿、求你轉回、搭救我．因你的慈愛拯救我。

Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness` sake.

因爲在死地無人記念你、在陰間有誰稱謝你。

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

我因唉哼而困乏．我每夜流淚、把牀榻漂起、把褥子濕透。

I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

我因憂愁眼睛乾癟．又因我一切的敵人眼睛昏花。

Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

你們一切作孽的人、離開我罷．因爲耶和華聽了我哀哭的聲音。

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

耶和華聽了我的懇求．耶和華必收納我的禱告。

Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.

我的一切仇敵都必羞愧、大大驚惶．他們必要退後、忽然羞愧。

All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly. Psalm 7 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehova, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite.

第7章

大衞指着便雅憫人古實的話、向耶和華唱的流離歌。耶和華我的神阿、我投靠你．求你救我脫離一切追趕我的人、將我救拔出來．

O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,

恐怕他們像獅子撕裂我、甚至撕碎、無人搭救。

Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

耶和華我的神阿、我若行了這事、若有罪孽在我手裏、

O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;

我若以惡報那與我交好的人、（連那無故與我爲敵的、我也救了他）

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)

就任憑仇敵追趕我、直到追上．將我的性命踏在地下、使我的榮耀歸於灰塵。細拉

Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

耶和華阿、求你在怒中起來、挺身而立、抵擋我敵人的暴怒．求你爲我興起．你已經命定施行審判。

Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.

願衆民的會環繞你．願你從其上歸於高位。

And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.

耶和華向衆民施行審判．耶和華阿、求你按我的公義、和我心中的純正、判斷我。

Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.

願惡人的惡斷絕．願你堅立義人．因爲公義的神察驗人的心腸肺腑。

O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.

神是我的盾牌．他拯救心裏正直的人。

My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.

神是公義的審判者、又是天天向惡人發怒的神。

God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.

若有人不回頭、他的刀必磨快、弓必上弦、豫備妥當了。

If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

他也豫備了殺人的器械．他所射的是火箭。

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery [shafts].

試看惡人因奸惡而劬勞．所懷的是毒害、所生的是虛假。

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

他掘了坑、又挖深了、竟掉在自己所挖的阱裏。

He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

他的毒害、必臨到他自己的頭上．他的強暴必落到他自己的腦袋上。

His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

我要照着耶和華的公義稱謝他、歌頌耶和華至高者的名。

I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High. Psalm 8 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

第8章

大衞的詩、交與伶長、用迦特樂器。耶和華我們的主阿、你的名在全地何其美．你將你的榮耀彰顯於天。

O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!

你因敵人的緣故、從嬰孩和喫奶的口中、建立了能力、使仇敵和報仇的、閉口無言。

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

我觀看你指頭所造的天、並你所陳設的月亮星宿、

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

便說、人算甚麼、你竟顧念他．世人算甚麼、你竟眷顧他。

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

你叫他比天使〈或作神〉微小一點、並賜他榮耀尊貴爲冠冕。

For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor.

你派他管理你手所造的、使萬物、就是一切的牛羊、田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裏的魚、凡經行海道的、都服在他的腳下。

Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:

你派他管理你手所造的、使萬物、就是一切的牛羊、田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裏的魚、凡經行海道的、都服在他的腳下。

All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the field,

你派他管理你手所造的、使萬物、就是一切的牛羊、田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裏的魚、凡經行海道的、都服在他的腳下。

The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

耶和華我們的主阿、你的名在全地何其美。

O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Psalm 9 For the Chief Musician; set to Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.

第9章

大衞的詩、交與伶長、調用慕拉便。我要一心稱謝耶和華．我要傳揚你一切奇妙的作爲。

I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.

我要因你歡喜快樂．至高者阿、我要歌頌你的名。

I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

我的仇敵轉身退去的時候、他們一見你的面、就跌倒滅亡。

When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.

因你已經爲我伸寃、爲我辨屈．你坐在寶座上、按公義審判。

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.

你曾斥責外邦．你曾滅絕惡人．你曾塗抹他們的名、直到永永遠遠。

Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

仇敵到了盡頭．他們被毀壞、直到永遠．你拆毀他們的城邑．連他們的名號、都歸於無有。

The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.

惟耶和華坐着爲王、直到永遠．他已經爲審判設擺他的寶座．

But Jehovah sitteth [as king] for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

他要按公義審判世界、按正直判斷萬民。

And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

耶和華又要給受欺壓的人作高臺、在患難的時候作高臺。

Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;

耶和華阿、認識你名的人要倚靠你．因你沒有離棄尋求你的人。

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

應當歌頌居錫安的耶和華、將他所行的傳揚在衆民中。

Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

因爲那追討流人血之罪的、他記念受屈的人、不忘記困苦人的哀求。

For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

耶和華阿、你是從死門把我提拔起來的．求你憐恤我．看那恨我的人所加給我的苦難。

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction [which I suffer] of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

好叫我述說你一切的美德．我必在錫安城的門、〈城原文作女子〉因你的救恩歡樂。

That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

外邦人陷在自己所掘的坑中．他們的腳在自己暗設的網羅裏纏住了。

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

耶和華已將自己顯明了、他已施行審判．惡人被自己手所作的纏住了。〈或作他叫惡人被自己手所作的累住了〉細拉

Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah

惡人、就是忘記神的外邦人、都必歸到陰間。

The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.

窮乏人必不永久被忘、困苦人的指望、必不永遠落空。

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

耶和華阿、求你起來、不容人得勝．願外邦人在你面前受審判。

Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

耶和華阿、求你使外邦人恐懼．願他們知道自己不過是人。細拉

Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah Psalm 10

第10章

耶和華阿、你爲甚麼站在遠處．在患難的時候、爲甚麼隱藏。

Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

惡人在驕橫中、把困苦人追得火急．願他們陷在自己所設的計謀裏。

In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

因爲惡人以心願自誇．貪財的背棄耶和華、並且輕慢他。〈或作他祝福貪財的卻輕慢耶和華〉

For the wicked boasteth of his heart`s desire, And the covetous renounceth, [yea], contemneth Jehovah.

惡人面帶驕傲、說、耶和華必不追究。他一切所想的、都以爲沒有神。

The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, [saith], He will not require [it]. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

凡他所作的、時常穩固．你的審判超過他的眼界。至於他一切的敵人、他都向他們噴氣。

His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

他心裏說、我必不動搖、世世代代不遭災難。

He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity.

他滿口是咒罵、詭詐、欺壓．舌底是毒害奸惡。

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

他在村莊埋伏等候．他在隱密處殺害無辜的人．他的眼睛窺探無倚無靠的人。

He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In the secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are privily set against the helpless.

他埋伏在暗地、如獅子蹲在洞中．他埋伏、要擄去困苦人．他拉網、就把困苦人擄去。

He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.

他屈身蹲伏、無倚無靠的人、就倒在他爪牙之下、〈爪牙或作強暴人〉

He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones.

他心裏說、神竟忘記了．他掩面、永不觀看。

He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.

耶和華阿、求你起來．神阿、求你舉手．不要忘記困苦人。

Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor.

惡人爲何輕慢神、心裏說、你必不追究。

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it]?

其實你已經觀看．因爲奸惡毒害、你都看見了、爲要以手施行報應．無倚無靠的人、把自己交託你．你向來是幫助孤兒的。

Thou hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth [himself] unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

願你打斷惡人的膀臂．至於壞人、願你追究他的惡、直到淨盡。

Break thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

耶和華永永遠遠爲王．外邦人從他的地已經滅絕了。

Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land.

耶和華阿、謙卑人的心願、你早已知道．〈原文作聽見〉你必豫備他們的心、也必側耳聽他們的祈求。

Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;

爲要給孤兒和受欺壓的人伸寃、使強橫的人不再威嚇他們。

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more. Psalm 11 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David.

第11章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。我是投靠耶和華．你們怎麼對我說、你當像鳥飛往你的山去。

In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain;

看哪、惡人彎弓、把箭搭在弦上、要在暗中射那心裏正直的人。

For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;

根基若毀壞、義人還能作甚麼呢。

If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?

耶和華在他的聖殿裏．耶和華的寶座在天上．他的慧眼察看世人。

Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, his throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

耶和華試驗義人．惟有惡人和喜愛強暴的人、他心裏恨惡。

Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

他要向惡人密布網羅．有烈火、硫磺、熱風、作他們杯中的分。

Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.

因爲耶和華是公義的．他喜愛公義．正直人必得見他的面。

For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face. Psalm 12 For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

第12章

大衞的詩、交與伶長、調用第八。耶和華阿、求你幫助、因虔誠人斷絕了．世人中間的忠信人沒有了。

Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

人人向鄰舍說謊．他們說話、是嘴唇油滑、心口不一。

They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

凡油滑的嘴唇、和誇大的舌頭、耶和華必要剪除。

Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things;

他們曾說、我們必能以舌頭得勝．我們的嘴唇是我們自己的．誰能作我們的主呢。

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

耶和華說、因爲困苦人的寃屈、和貧窮人的歎息、我現在要起來、把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。

Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for.

耶和華的言語、是純淨的言語．如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。

The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.

耶和華阿、你必保護他們．你必保佑他們永遠脫離這世代的人。

Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah, Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.

下流人在世人中升高、就有惡人到處遊行。

The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men. Psalm 13 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

第13章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。耶和華阿、你忘記我要到幾時呢．要到永遠麼．你掩面不顧我要到幾時呢．

How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

我心裏籌算、終日愁苦、要到幾時呢．我的仇敵升高壓制我、要到幾時呢。

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

耶和華我的神阿、求你看顧我、應允我、使我眼目光明、免得我沉睡至死．

Consider [and] answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

免得我的仇敵說、我勝了他．免得我的敵人在我搖動的時候喜樂。

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [Lest] mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

但我倚靠你的慈愛．我的心因你的救恩快樂。

But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

我要向耶和華歌唱、因他用厚恩待我。

I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me. Psalm 14 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David.

第14章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。愚頑人心裏說、沒有神。他們都是邪惡、行了可憎惡的事．沒有一個人行善。

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.

耶和華從天上垂看世人、要看有明白的沒有、有尋求神的沒有。

Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

他們都偏離正路、一同變爲汚穢．並沒有行善的、連一個也沒有。

They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

作孽的都沒有知識麼．他們吞喫我的百姓、如同喫飯一樣、並不求告耶和華。

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?

他們在那裏大大的害怕、因爲神在義人的族類中。

There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.

你們叫困苦人的謀算、變爲羞辱．然而耶和華是他的避難所。

Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出．耶和華救回他被擄的子民、那時雅各要快樂、以色列要歡喜。

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. Psalm 15 A Psalm of David.

第15章

大衞的詩。耶和華阿、誰能寄居你的帳幕．誰能住在你的聖山．

Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

就是行爲正直、作事公義、心裏說實話的人．

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;

他不以舌頭讒謗人、不惡待朋友、也不隨夥毀謗鄰里．

He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;

他眼中藐視匪類、卻尊重那敬畏耶和華的人．他發了誓、雖然自己喫虧、也不更改．

In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

他不放債取利、不受賄賂以害無辜。行這些事的人、必永不動搖。

He that putteth not out his money to interest, Nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. Psalm 16 Michtam of David.

第16章

大衞的金詩。神阿、求你保佑我、因爲我投靠你。

Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.

我的心哪、你曾對耶和華說、你是我的主．我的好處不在你以外。

[O my soul], thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.

論到世上的聖民、他們又美又善、是我最喜悅的。

As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

以別神代替耶和華的、〈或作送禮物給別神的〉他們的愁苦必加增。他們所澆奠的血我不獻上、我嘴唇也不題別神的名號。

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another [god]: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips.

耶和華是我的產業、是我杯中的分．我所得的你爲我持守。

Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot.

用繩量給我的地界、坐落在佳美之處．我的產業實在美好。

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

我必稱頌那指教我的耶和華．我的心腸在夜間也警戒我。

I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.

我將耶和華常擺在我面前．因他在我右邊、我便不至搖動。

I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

因此我的心歡喜、我的靈〈原文作榮耀〉快樂．我的肉身也要安然居住。

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; My flesh also shall dwell in safety.

因爲你必不將我的靈魂撇在陰間．也不叫你的聖者見朽壞。

For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

你必將生命的道路指示我．在你面前有滿足的喜樂．在你右手中有永遠的福樂。

Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 17 A Prayer of David.

第17章

大衞的祈禱。耶和華阿、求你聽聞公義、側耳聽我的呼籲．求你留心聽我這不出於詭詐嘴唇的祈禱。

Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

願我的判語從你面前發出．願你的眼睛觀看公正。

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; Let thine eyes look upon equity.

你已經試驗我的心．你在夜間鑒察我．你熬煉我、卻找不着甚麼．我立志叫我口中沒有過失。

Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

論到人的行爲、我藉着你嘴唇的言語、自己謹守、不行強暴人的道路。

As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.

我的腳踏定了你的路徑、我的兩腳未曾滑跌。

My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped.

神阿、我曾求告你、因爲你必應允我．求你向我側耳、聽我的言語。

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, [and] hear my speech.

求你顯出你奇妙的慈愛來．你是那用右手拯救投靠你的、脫離起來攻擊他們的人。

Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge [in thee ]From those that rise up [against them].

求你保護我、如同保護眼中的瞳人．將我隱藏在你翅膀的蔭下、

Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

使我脫離那欺壓我的惡人、就是圍困我、要害我命的仇敵。

From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about.

他們的心被脂油包裹．他們用口說驕傲的話。

They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.

他們圍困了我們的腳步．他們瞪着眼、要把我們推倒在地。

They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast [us] down to the earth.

他像獅子急要抓食、又像少壯獅子蹲伏在暗處。

He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

耶和華阿、求你起來、前去迎敵、將他打倒．用你的刀救護我命脫離惡人。

Arise, O Jehovah, Confront him, cast him down: Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;

耶和華阿、求你用手救我脫離世人、脫離那只在今生有福分的世人．你把你的財寶充滿他們的肚腹．他們因有兒女就心滿意足、將其餘的財物留給他們的嬰孩。

From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in [this] life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

至於我、我必在義中見你的面．我醒了的時候、得見你的形像、〈見或作看〉就心滿意足了。

As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with [beholding] thy form. Psalm 18 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of Jehovah, who spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: and he said,

第18章

耶和華的僕人大衞的詩、交與伶長．當耶和華救他脫離一切仇敵和掃羅之手的日子、他向耶和華念這詩的話．說、耶和華我的力量阿、我愛你。

I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

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．他是我的盾牌、是拯救我的角、是我的高臺。

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

我要求告當讚美的耶和華．這樣我必從仇敵手中被救出來。

I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

曾有死亡的繩索纏繞我．匪類的急流使我驚懼．

The cords of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

陰間的繩索纏繞我．死亡的網羅臨到我。

The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.

我在急難中求告耶和華、向我的神呼求．他從殿中聽了我的聲音、我在他面前的呼求入了他的耳中。

In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry before him came into his ears.

那時因他發怒、地就搖撼戰抖、山的根基也震動搖撼。

Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations also of the mountains quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth.

從他鼻孔冒煙上騰、從他口中發火焚燒．連炭也𤏲了。

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it.

他又使天下垂、親自降臨．有黑雲在他腳下。

He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet.

他坐着基路伯飛行．他藉着風的翅膀快飛。

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.

他以黑暗爲藏身之處、以水的黑暗、天空的厚雲、爲他四圍的行宮。

He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

因他面前的光輝、他的厚雲行過．便有冰雹火炭。

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

耶和華也在天上打雷．至高者發出聲音、便有冰雹火炭。

Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.

他射出箭來、使仇敵四散．多多發出閃電、使他們擾亂。

And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.

耶和華阿、你的斥責一發、你鼻孔的氣一出、海底就出現、大地的根基也顯露。

Then the channels of waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

他從高天伸手抓住我．把我從大水中拉上來。

He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters.

他救我脫離我的勁敵、和那些恨我的人．因爲他們比我強盛。

He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

我遭遇災難的日子、他們來攻擊我．但耶和華是我的倚靠。

They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.

他又領我到寬闊之處。他救拔我、因他喜悅我。

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

耶和華按着我的公義報答我、按着我手中的清潔賞賜我。

Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

因爲我遵守了耶和華的道、未曾作惡離開我的神。

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

他的一切典章常在我面前．他的律例我也未曾丟棄。

For all his ordinances were before me, And I put not away his statutes from me.

我在他面前作了完全人．我也保守自己遠離我的罪孽。

I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.

所以耶和華按我的公義、按我在他眼前手中的清潔、償還我。

Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

慈愛的人、你以慈愛待他．完全的人、你以完全待他。

With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;

清潔的人、你以清潔待他．乖僻的人、你以彎曲待他。

With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.

困苦的百姓、你必拯救．高傲的眼目、你必使他降卑。

For thou wilt save the afflicted people; But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

你必點𤏲我的燈．耶和華我的神必照明我的黑暗。

For thou wilt light my lamp: Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness.

我藉着你衝入敵軍、藉着我的神跳過牆垣。

For by thee I run upon a troop; And by my God do I leap over a wall.

至於神、他的道是完全的．耶和華的話是煉淨的．凡投靠他的、他便作他們的盾牌。

As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.

除了耶和華、誰是神呢．除了我們的神、誰是磐石呢．

For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God,

惟有那以力量束我的腰、使我行爲完全的、他是神。

The God that girdeth me with strength, And maketh my way perfect?

他使我的腳快如母鹿的蹄、又使我在高處安穩。

He maketh my feet like hinds` [feet]: And setteth me upon my high places.

他教導我的手能以爭戰、甚至我的膀臂能開銅弓。

He teacheth my hands to war; So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

你把你的救恩給我作盾牌．你的右手扶持我．你的溫和使我爲大。

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy right hand hath holden me up, And thy gentleness hath made me great.

你使我腳下的地步寬闊．我的腳未曾滑跌。

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped.

我要追趕我的仇敵、並要追上他們．不將他們滅絕、我總不歸回。

I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.

我要打傷他們、使他們不能起來．他們必倒在我的腳下。

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

因爲你曾以力量束我的腰、使我能爭戰．你也使那起來攻擊我的都服在我以下。

For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

你又使我的仇敵在我面前轉背逃跑、叫我能以剪除那恨我的人。

Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.

他們呼求、卻無人拯救、就是呼求耶和華、他也不應允。

They cried, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

我搗碎他們、如同風前的灰塵、倒出他們、如同街上的泥土。

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

你救我脫離百姓的爭競、立我作列國的元首．我素不認識的民必事奉我。

Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

他們一聽見我的名聲、就必順從我．外邦人要投降我。

As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me; The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.

外邦人要衰殘、戰戰兢兢的出他們的營寨。

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

耶和華是活神．願我的磐石被人稱頌．願救我的神被人尊崇。

Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation,

這位神、就是那爲我伸寃、使衆民服在我以下的。

Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And subdueth peoples under me.

你救我脫離仇敵．又把我舉起、高過那些起來攻擊我的．你救我脫離強暴的人。

He rescueth me from mine enemies; Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.

耶和華阿、因此我要在外邦中稱謝你、歌頌你的名．

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.

耶和華賜極大的救恩給他所立的王、施慈愛給他的受膏者、就是給大衞和他的後裔、直到永遠。

Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore. Psalm 19 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

第19章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。諸天述說神的榮耀．穹蒼傳揚他的手段。

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork.

這日到那日發出言語．這夜到那夜傳出知識。

Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge.

無言無語、也無聲音可聽。

There is no speech nor language; Their voice is not heard.

他的量帶通徧天下、他的言語傳到地極。神在其間爲太陽安設帳幕．

Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

太陽如同新郎出洞房、又如勇士歡然奔路。

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.

他從天這邊出來、繞到天那邊．沒有一物被隱藏不得他的熱氣。

His going forth is from the end of the heavens, And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

耶和華的律法全備、能甦醒人心．耶和華的法度確定、能使愚人有智慧。

The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

耶和華的訓詞正直、能快活人的心．耶和華的命令清潔、能明亮人的眼目。

The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.

耶和華的道理潔淨、存到永遠．耶和華的典章眞實、全然公義。

The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, [and] righteous altogether.

都比金子可羨慕、且比極多的精金可羨慕．比蜜甘甜、且比蜂房下滴的蜜甘甜。

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

況且你的僕人因此受警戒、守着這些便有大賞。

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward.

誰能知道自己的錯失呢．願你赦免我隱而未現的過錯。

Who can discern [his] errors? Clear thou me from hidden [faults].

求你攔阻僕人、不犯任意妄爲的罪．不容這罪轄制我．我便完全、免犯大罪．

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, And I shall be clear from great transgression.

耶和華我的磐石、我的救贖主阿、願我口中的言語、心裏的意念、在你面前蒙悅納。

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer. Psalm 20 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

第20章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。願耶和華在你遭難的日子應允你．願名爲雅各神的高舉你．

Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

願他從聖所救助你、從錫安堅固你．

Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;

記念你的一切供獻、悅納你的燔祭．細拉

Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; Selah

將你心所願的賜給你、成就你的一切籌算。

Grant thee thy heart`s desire, And fulfil all thy counsel.

我們要因你的救恩誇勝、要奉我們神的名豎立旌旗．願耶和華成就你一切所求的。

We will triumph in thy salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners: Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions.

現在我知道耶和華救護他的受膏者、必從他的聖天上應允他、用右手的能力救護他。

Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand.

有人靠車、有人靠馬、但我們要提到耶和華我們神的名。

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

他們都屈身仆倒、我們卻起來、立得正直。

They are bowed down and fallen; But we are risen, and stand upright.

求耶和華施行拯救．我們呼求的時候、願王應允我們。

Save, Jehovah: Let the King answer us when we call. Psalm 21 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

第21章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。耶和華阿、王必因你的能力歡喜．因你的救恩、他的快樂何其大。

The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

他心裏所願的、你已經賜給他．他嘴唇所求的、你未嘗不應允。細拉

Thou hast given him his heart`s desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah

你以美福迎接他、把精金的冠冕戴在他頭上。

For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head.

他向你求壽、你便賜給他、就是日子長久、直到永遠。

He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days for ever and ever.

他因你的救恩大有榮耀．你又將尊榮威嚴加在他身上。

His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty dost thou lay upon him.

你使他有洪福、直到永遠．又使他在你面前歡喜快樂。

For thou makest him most blessed for ever: Thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence.

王倚靠耶和華、因至高者的慈愛必不搖動。

For the king trusteth in Jehovah; And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

你的手要搜出你的一切仇敵．你的右手要搜出那些恨你的人。

Thy hand will find out all thine enemies; Thy right hand will find out those that hate thee.

你發怒的時候、要使他們如在炎熱的火鑪中．耶和華要在他的震怒中吞滅他們．那火要把他們燒盡了。

Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger: Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them.

你必從世上滅絕他們的子孫、〈子孫原文作果子〉從人間滅絕他們的後裔。

Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men.

因爲他們有意加害於你．他們想出計謀、卻不能作成。

For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

你必使他們轉背逃跑、向他們的臉搭箭在弦。

For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

耶和華阿、願你因自己的能力顯爲至高．這樣、我們就唱詩、歌頌你的大能。

Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power. Psalm 22 For the Chief Musician; set to Aijaleth hash-Shahar. A Psalm of David.

第22章

大衞的詩、交與伶長、調用朝鹿。我的神、我的神、爲甚麼離棄我．爲甚麼遠離不救我、不聽我唉哼的言語。

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [Why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my groaning?

我的神阿、我白日呼求、你不應允．夜間呼求、並不住聲。

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not; And in the night season, and am not silent.

但你是聖潔的、是用以色列的讚美爲寶座的。〈寶座或作居所〉

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

我們的祖宗倚靠你．他們倚靠你、你便解救他們。

Our fathers trusted in thee: They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

他們哀求你、便蒙解救．他們倚靠你、就不羞愧。

They cried unto thee, and were delivered: They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.

但我是蟲不是人．被衆人羞辱、被百姓藐視。

But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised of the people.

凡看見我的都嗤笑我．他們撇嘴搖頭、說、

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying],

他把自己交託耶和華、耶和華可以救他罷．耶和華旣喜悅他、可以搭救他罷。

Commit [thyself] unto Jehovah; Let him deliver him: Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.

但你是叫我出母腹的．我在母懷裏、你就使我有倚靠的心。

But thou art he that took me out of the womb; Thou didst make me trust [when I was] upon my mother`s breasts.

我自出母胎就被交在你手裏．從我母親生我、你就是我的神。

I was cast upon thee from the womb; Thou art my God since my mother bare me.

求你不要遠離我．因爲急難臨近了、沒有人幫助我。

Be not far from me; for trouble is near; For there is none to help.

有許多公牛圍繞我．巴珊大力的公牛四面困住我。

Many bulls have compassed me; Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

他們向我張口、好像抓撕吼叫的獅子。

They gape upon me with their mouth, [As] a ravening and a roaring lion.

我如水被倒出來．我的骨頭都脫了節．我心在我裏面如蠟鎔化．

I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.

我的精力枯乾、如同瓦片．我的舌頭貼在我牙牀上．你將我安置在死地的塵土中。

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

犬類圍着我．惡黨環繞我．他們扎了我的手、我的腳。

For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.

我的骨頭、我都能數過．他們瞪着眼看我。

I may count all my bones; They look and stare upon me.

他們分我的外衣、爲我的裏衣拈鬮。

They part my garments among them, And upon my vesture do they cast lots.

耶和華阿、求你不要遠離我．我的救主阿、求你快來幫助我。

But be not thou far off, O Jehovah: O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.

求你救我的靈魂脫離刀劍、救我的生命脫離犬類、〈生命原文作獨一者〉

Deliver my soul from the sword, My darling from the power of the dog.

救我脫離獅子的口．你已經應允我、使我脫離野牛的角。

Save me from the lion`s mouth; Yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.

我要將你的名傳與我的弟兄．在會中我要讚美你。

I will declare thy name unto my brethren: In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.

你們敬畏耶和華的人、要讚美他．雅各的後裔、都要榮耀他．以色列的後裔、都要懼怕他。

Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.

因爲他沒有藐視憎惡受苦的人．也沒有向他掩面．那受苦之人呼籲的時候、他就垂聽。

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Neither hath he hid his face from him; But when he cried unto him, he heard.

我在大會中讚美你的話、是從你而來的．我要在敬畏耶和華的人面前還我的願。

Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

謙卑的人必喫得飽足．尋求耶和華的人必讚美他．願你們的心永遠活着。

The meek shall eat and be satisfied; They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him: Let your heart live for ever.

地的四極都要想念耶和華、並且歸順他．列國的萬族、都要在你面前敬拜。

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah; And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

因爲國權是耶和華的．他是管理萬國的。

For the kingdom is Jehovah`s; And he is the ruler over the nations.

地上一切豐肥的人、必喫喝而敬拜．凡下到塵土中不能存活自己性命的人、都要在他面前下拜。

All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship: All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, Even he that cannot keep his soul alive.

他必有後裔事奉他．主所行的事必傳與後代。

A seed shall serve him; It shall be told of the Lord unto the [next] generation.

他們必來把他的公義傳給將要生的民、言明這事是他所行的。

They shall come and shall declare his righteousness Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it. Psalm 23 A Psalm of David.

第23章

大衞的詩。耶和華是我的牧者．我必不至缺乏。

Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

他使我躺臥在青草地上、領我在可安歇的水邊。

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside still waters.

他使我的靈魂甦醒、爲自己的名引導我走義路。

He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name`s sake.

我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷、也不怕遭害．因爲你與我同在．你的杖、你的竿、都安慰我。

Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

在我敵人面前、你爲我擺設筵席．你用油膏了我的頭、使我的福杯滿溢。

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

我一生一世必有恩惠慈愛隨着我．我且要住在耶和華的殿中、直到永遠。

Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever. Psalm 24 A Psalm of David.

第24章

大衞的詩。地和其中所充滿的、世界、和住在其間的、都屬耶和華。

The earth is Jehovah`s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.

他把地建立在海上、安定在大水之上。

For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

誰能登耶和華的山．誰能站在他的聖所．

Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?

就是手潔心清、不向虛妄、起誓不懷詭詐的人。

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully.

他必蒙耶和華賜福、又蒙救他的神使他成義。

He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

這是尋求耶和華的族類、是尋求你面的雅各。細拉

This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, [even] Jacob. Selah

衆城門哪、你們要抬起頭來．永久的門戶、你們要被舉起．那榮耀的王將要進來。

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.

榮耀的王是誰呢．就是有力有能的耶和華、在戰塲上有能的耶和華。

Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

衆城門哪、你們要抬起頭來．永久的門戶、你們要把頭抬起．那榮耀的王將要進來。

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.

榮耀的王是誰呢．萬軍之耶和華、他是榮耀的王。細拉

Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah Psalm 25 [A Psalm] of David.

第25章

大衞的詩。耶和華阿、我的心仰望你。

Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

我的神阿、我素來倚靠你．求你不要叫我羞愧．不要叫我的仇敵向我誇勝。

O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

凡等候你的必不羞愧．惟有那無故行奸詐的、必要羞愧。

Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.

耶和華阿、求你將你的道指示我、將你的路教訓我。

Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.

求你以你的眞理引導我、教訓我．因爲你是救我的神．我終日等候你。

Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.

耶和華阿、求你記念你的憐憫和慈愛．因爲這是亙古以來所常有的。

Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old.

求你不要記念我幼年的罪愆、和我的過犯。耶和華阿、求你因你的恩惠、按你的慈愛記念我。

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness` sake, O Jehovah.

耶和華是良善正直的．所以他必指示罪人走正路。

Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.

他必按公平引領謙卑人、將他的道教訓他們。

The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way.

凡遵守他的約和他法度的人、耶和華都以慈愛誠實待他。

All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

耶和華阿、求你因你的名赦免我的罪、因爲我的罪重大。

For thy name`s sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

誰敬畏耶和華、耶和華必指示他當選擇的道路。

What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.

他必安然居住．他的後裔必承受地土。

His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.

耶和華與敬畏他的人親密．他必將自己的約指示他們。

The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant.

我的眼目時常仰望耶和華．因爲他必將我的腳從網裏拉出來。

Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net.

求你轉向我、憐恤我、因爲我是孤獨困苦。

Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted.

我心裏的愁苦甚多．求你救我脫離我的禍患。

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.

求你看顧我的困苦、我的艱難、赦免我一切的罪。

Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.

求你察看我的仇敵、因爲他們人多．並且痛痛的恨我。

Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.

求你保護我的性命、搭救我、使我不至羞愧、因爲我投靠你。

Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.

願純全正直保守我、因爲我等候你。

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for thee.

神阿、求你救贖以色列脫離他一切的愁苦。

Redeem Israel, O God, Out all of his troubles. Psalm 26 [A Psalm] of David.

第26章

大衞的詩。耶和華阿、求你爲我伸寃、因我向來行事純全、我又倚靠耶和華並不搖動。

Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

耶和華阿、求你察看我、試驗我、熬煉我的肺腑心腸。

Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.

因爲你的慈愛常在我眼前．我也按你的眞理而行。

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.

我沒有和虛謊人同坐．也不與瞞哄人的同羣。

I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

我恨惡惡人的會、必不與惡人同坐。

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

耶和華阿、我要洗手表明無辜、纔環繞你的祭壇．

I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

我好發稱謝的聲音．也要述說你一切奇妙的作爲。

That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works.

耶和華阿、我喜愛你所住的殿、和你顯榮耀的居所。

Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

不要把我的靈魂和罪人一同除掉．不要把我的性命和流人血的一同除掉。

Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;

他們的手中有奸惡、右手滿有賄賂。

In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes.

至於我、卻要行事純全．求你救贖我、憐恤我。

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

我的腳站在平坦地方．在衆會中我要稱頌耶和華。

My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah. Psalm 27 [A Psalm] of David.

第27章

大衞的詩。耶和華是我的亮光、是我的拯救．我還怕誰呢．耶和華是我性命的保障．〈保障或作力量〉我還懼誰呢。

Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

那作惡的、就是我的仇敵、前來喫我肉的時候、就絆跌仆倒。

When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, [Even] mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

雖有軍兵安營攻擊我、我的心也不害怕．雖然興起刀兵攻擊我、我必仍舊安穩。

Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.

有一件事、我曾求耶和華、我仍要尋求．就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中、瞻仰他的榮美、在他的殿裏求問。

One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple.

因爲我遭遇患難、他必暗暗的保守我．在他亭子裏、把我藏在他帳幕的隱密處、將我高舉在磐石上。

For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.

現在我得以昂首、高過四面的仇敵．我要在他的帳幕裏歡然獻祭．我要唱詩、歌頌耶和華。

And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.

耶和華阿、我用聲音呼籲的時候、求你垂聽．並求你憐恤我、應允我。

Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

你說、你們當尋求我的面．那時我心向你說、耶和華阿、你的面我正要尋求。

[When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; My heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.

不要向我掩面．不要發怒趕逐僕人．你向來是幫助我的．救我的神阿、不要丟掉我、也不要離棄我。

Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

我父母離棄我、耶和華必收留我。

When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Jehovah will take me up.

耶和華阿、求你將你的道指教我、因我仇敵的緣故引導我走平坦的路。

Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies.

求你不要把我交給敵人、遂其所願．因爲妄作見證的、和口吐凶言的、起來攻擊我。

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty.

我若不信在活人之地得見耶和華的恩惠、就早已喪膽了。

[I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living.

要等候耶和華．當壯膽、堅固你的心．我再說、要等候耶和華。

Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah. Psalm 28 [A Psalm] of David.

第28章

大衞的詩。耶和華阿、我要求告你．我的磐石阿、不要向我緘默．倘若你向我閉口、我就如將死的人一樣。

Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

我呼求你、向你至聖所舉手的時候、求你垂聽我懇求的聲音。

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

不要把我和惡人、並作孽的、一同除掉．他們與鄰舍說和平話、心裏卻是奸惡。

Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; That speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.

願你按着他們所作的、並他們所行的惡事待他們．願你照着他們手所作的待他們．將他們所應得的報應加給他們。

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: Give them after the operation of their hands; Render to them their desert.

他們旣然不留心耶和華所行的、和他手所作的、他就必毀壞他們、不建立他們。

Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up.

耶和華是應當稱頌的、因爲他聽了我懇求的聲音。

Blessed be Jehovah, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

耶和華是我的力量、是我的盾牌．我心裏倚靠他、就得幫助．所以我心中歡樂．我必用詩歌頌讚他。

Jehovah is my strength and my shield; My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; And with my song will I praise him.

耶和華是他百姓的力量、又是他受膏者得救的保障。

Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

求你拯救你的百姓、賜福給你的產業、牧養他們、扶持他們、直到永遠。

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: Be their shepherd also, and bear them up for ever. Psalm 29 A Psalm of David.

第29章

大衞的詩。神的衆子阿、你們要將榮耀能力、歸給耶和華、歸給耶和華。

Ascribe unto Jehovah, O ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.

要將耶和華的名所當得的榮耀歸給他．以聖潔的妝飾〈的或作爲〉敬拜耶和華。

Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name; Worship Jehovah in holy array.

耶和華的聲音發在水上．榮耀的神打雷、耶和華打雷在大水之上。

The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth, Even Jehovah upon many waters.

耶和華的聲音大有能力．耶和華的聲音滿有威嚴。

The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

耶和華的聲音震破香柏樹．耶和華震碎利巴嫩的香柏樹。

The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

他也使之跳躍如牛犢、使利巴嫩和西連跳躍如野牛犢。

He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

耶和華的聲音使火燄分岔。

The voice of Jehovah cleaveth the flames of fire.

耶和華的聲音震動曠野．耶和華震動加低斯的曠野。

The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

耶和華的聲音驚動母鹿落胎、樹木也脫落淨光。凡在他殿中的、都稱說他的榮耀。

The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, And strippeth the forests bare: And in his temple everything saith, Glory.

洪水氾濫之時、耶和華坐着爲王．耶和華坐着爲王、直到永遠。

Jehovah sat [as King] at the Flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth as King for ever.

耶和華必賜力量給他的百姓．耶和華必賜平安的福給他的百姓。

Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace. Psalm 30 A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. [A Psalm] of David.

第30章

大衞在獻殿的時候、作這詩歌。耶和華阿、我要尊崇你、因爲你曾提拔我、不叫仇敵向我誇耀。

I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

耶和華我的神阿、我曾呼求你、你醫治了我。

O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

耶和華阿、你曾把我的靈魂從陰間救上來、使我存活、不至於下坑。

O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

耶和華的聖民哪、你們要歌頌他、稱讚他可記念的聖名

Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his, And give thanks to his holy memorial [name].

因爲他的怒氣不過是轉眼之間．他的恩典乃是一生之久．一宿雖然有哭泣、早晨便必歡呼。

For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy [cometh] in the morning.

至於我、我凡事平順、便說、我永不動搖。

As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

耶和華阿、你曾施恩、叫我的江山穩固．你掩了面、我就驚惶。

Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

耶和華阿、我曾求告你．我向耶和華懇求、說、

I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication:

我被害流血、下到坑中、有甚麼益處呢．塵土豈能稱讚你、傳說你的誠實麼。

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

耶和華阿、求你應允我、憐恤我。耶和華阿、求你幫助我。

Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.

你已將我的哀哭變爲跳舞、將我的麻衣脫去、給我披上喜樂．

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

好叫我的靈〈原文作榮耀〉歌頌你、並不住聲。耶和華我的神阿、我要稱謝你、直到永遠。

To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. Psalm 31 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

第31章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。耶和華阿、我投靠你．求你使我永不羞愧、憑你的公義搭救我。

In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; Let me never be put to shame: Deliver me in thy righteousness.

求你側耳而聽、快快救我、作我堅固的磐石、拯救我的保障。

Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: Be thou to me a strong rock, A house of defence to save me.

因爲你是我的巖石、我的山寨．所以求你爲你名的緣故、引導我、指點我。

For thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for thy name`s sake lead me and guide me.

求你救我脫離人爲我暗設的網羅．因爲你是我的保障。

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; For thou art my stronghold.

我將我的靈魂交在你手裏．耶和華誠實的神阿、你救贖了我。

Into thy hand I commend my spirit: Thou hast redeemed me, O Jehovah, thou God of truth.

我恨惡那信奉虛無之神的人．我卻倚靠耶和華。

I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in Jehovah.

我要爲你的慈愛高興歡喜．因爲你見過我的困苦、知道我心中的艱難。

I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness; For thou hast seen my affliction: Thou hast known my soul in adversities;

你未曾把我交在仇敵手裏．你使我的腳站在寬闊之處。

And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large place.

耶和華阿、求你憐恤我、因爲我在急難之中．我的眼睛因憂愁而乾癟、連我的身心、也不安舒。

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress: Mine eye wasteth away with grief, [yea], my soul and my body.

我的生命爲愁苦所消耗．我的年歲爲歎息所曠廢．我的力量因我的罪孽衰敗．我的骨頭也枯乾。

For my life is spent with sorrow, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, And my bones are wasted away.

我因一切敵人成了羞辱、在我的鄰舍跟前更甚．那認識我的都懼怕我．在外頭看見我的都躱避我。

Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintance: They that did see me without fled from me.

我被人忘記、如同死人、無人記念．我好像破碎的器皿。

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

我聽見了許多人的讒謗、四圍都是驚嚇．他們一同商議攻擊我的時候、就圖謀要害我的性命。

For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.

耶和華阿、我仍舊倚靠你．我說、你是我的神。

But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah: I said, Thou art my God.

我終身的事在你手中．求你救我脫離仇敵的手、和那些逼迫我的人。

My times are in thy hand: Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

求你使你的臉光照僕人、憑你的慈愛拯救我。

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: Save me in thy lovingkindness.

耶和華阿、求你叫我不至羞愧．因爲我曾呼籲你．求你使惡人羞愧、使他們在陰間緘默無聲。

Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

那撒謊的人、逞驕傲輕慢、出狂妄的話攻擊義人．願他的嘴啞而無言。

Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak against the righteous insolently, With pride and contempt.

敬畏你投靠你的人、你爲他們所積存的、在世人面前所施行的恩惠、是何等大呢。

Oh how great is thy goodness, Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee, Before the sons of men!

你必把他們藏在你面前的隱密處、免得遇見人的計謀．你必暗暗的保守他們在亭子裏、免受口舌的爭鬧。

In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man: Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

耶和華是應當稱頌的．因爲他在堅固城裏、向我施展奇妙的慈愛。

Blessed be Jehovah; For he hath showed me his marvellous lovingkindness in a strong city.

至於我、我曾急促的說、我從你眼前被隔絕．然而、我呼求你的時候、你仍聽我懇求的聲音。

As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications When I cried unto thee.

耶和華的聖民哪、你們都要愛他．耶和華保護誠實人、足足報應行事驕傲的人。

Oh love Jehovah, all ye his saints: Jehovah preserveth the faithful, And plentifully rewardeth him that dealeth proudly.

凡仰望耶和華的人、你們都要壯膽、堅固你們的心。

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All ye that hope in Jehovah. Psalm 32 [A Psalm] of David. Maschil.

第32章

大衞的訓誨詩。得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的、這人是有福的。

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

凡心裏沒有詭詐、耶和華不算爲有罪的、這人是有福的。

Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.

我閉口不認罪的時候、因終日唉哼、而骨頭枯乾。

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.

黑夜白日、你的手在我身上沉重．我的精液耗盡、如同夏天的乾旱。細拉

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed [as] with the drought of summer. Selah

我向你陳明我的罪、不隱瞞我的惡．我說、我要向耶和華承認我的過犯、你就赦免我的罪惡。細拉

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah

爲此、凡虔誠人、都當趁你可尋找的時候禱告你．大水泛溢的時候、必不能到他那裏。

For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

你是我藏身之處．你必保佑我脫離苦難、以得救的樂歌、四面環繞我。細拉

Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah

我要教導你、指示你當行的路．我要定睛在你身上勸戒你。

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

你不可像那無知的騾馬、必用嚼環轡頭勒住他．不然、就不能馴服。

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, [Else] they will not come near unto thee.

惡人必多受苦楚．惟獨倚靠耶和華的、必有慈愛四面環繞他。

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.

你們義人應當靠耶和華歡喜快樂．你們心裏正直的人、都當歡呼。

Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous; And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. Psalm 33

第33章

義人哪、你們應當靠耶和華歡樂．正直人的讚美是合宜的。

Rejoice in Jehovah, O ye righteous: Praise is comely for the upright.

你們應當彈琴稱謝耶和華、用十絃瑟歌頌他。

Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp: Sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.

應當向他唱新歌、彈得巧妙、聲音洪亮。

Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.

因爲耶和華的言語正直．凡他所作的、盡都誠實。

For the word of Jehovah is right; And all his work is [done] in faithfulness.

他喜愛仁義公平．徧地滿了耶和華的慈愛。

He loveth righteousness and justice: The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Jehovah.

諸天藉耶和華的命而造、萬象藉他口中的氣而成。

By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

他聚集海水如壘、收藏深洋在庫房。

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.

願全地都敬畏耶和華．願世上的居民、都懼怕他。

Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

因爲他說有、就有．命立、就立。

For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

耶和華使列國的籌算歸於無有、使衆民的思念無有功效。

Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

耶和華的籌算永遠立定、他心中的思念萬代常存。

The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.

以耶和華爲神的、那國是有福的．他所揀選爲自己產業的、那民是有福的。

Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

耶和華從天上觀看．他看見一切的世人。

Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;

從他的居所、往外察看地上一切的居民。

From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,

他是那造成他們衆人心的、留意他們一切作爲的。

He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, That considereth all their works.

君王不能因兵多得勝．勇士不能因力大得救。

There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

靠馬得救是枉然的．馬也不能因力大救人。

A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.

耶和華的眼目、看顧敬畏他的人、和仰望他慈愛的人、

Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;

要救他們的命脫離死亡、並使他們在饑荒中存活。

To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.

我們的心向來等候耶和華．他是我們的幫助、我們的盾牌。

Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.

我們的心必靠他歡喜、因爲我們向來倚靠他的聖名。

For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.

耶和華阿、求你照着我們所仰望你的、向我們施行慈愛。

Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee. Psalm 34 A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

第34章

大衞在亞比米勒面前裝瘋、被他趕出去、就作這詩。我要時時稱頌耶和華．讚美他的話必常在我口中。

I will bless Jehovah at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

我的心必因耶和華誇耀．謙卑人聽見、就要喜樂。

My soul shall make her boast in Jehovah: The meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.

你們和我當稱耶和華爲大、一同高舉他的名。

Oh magnify Jehovah with me, And let us exalt his name together.

我曾尋求耶和華、他就應允我、救我脫離了一切的恐懼。

I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.

凡仰望他的、便有光榮．他們的臉、必不蒙羞。

They looked unto him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be confounded.

我這困苦人呼求、耶和華便垂聽、救我脫離一切患難。

This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.

耶和華的使者、在敬畏他的人四圍安營、搭救他們。

The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, And delivereth them.

你們要嘗嘗主恩的滋味、便知道他是美善．投靠他的人有福了。

Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good: Blessed is the man that taketh refuge in him.

耶和華的聖民哪、你們當敬畏他、因敬畏他的一無所缺。

Oh fear Jehovah, ye his saints; For there is no want to them that fear him.

少壯獅子、還缺食忍餓．但尋求耶和華的、甚麼好處都不缺。

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.

衆弟子阿、你們當來聽我的話．我要將敬畏耶和華的道、教訓你們。

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

有何人喜好存活、愛慕長壽、得享美福．

What man is he that desireth life, And loveth [many] days, that he may see good?

就要禁止舌頭不出惡言、嘴唇不說詭詐的話。

Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile.

要離惡行善、尋求和睦、一心追趕。

Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.

耶和華的眼目、看顧義人、他的耳朶、聽他們的呼求。

The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous, And his ears are [open] unto their cry.

耶和華向行惡的人變臉、要從世上除滅他們的名號。

The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

義人呼求、耶和華聽見了、便救他們脫離一切患難。

[The righteous] cried, and Jehovah heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles.

耶和華靠近傷心的人、拯救靈性痛悔的人。

Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

義人多有苦難．但耶和華救他脫離這一切．

Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But Jehovah delivereth him out of them all.

又保全他一身的骨頭、連一根也不折斷。

He keepeth all his bones: Not one of them is broken.

惡必害死惡人．恨惡義人的、必被定罪。

Evil shall slay the wicked; And they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.

耶和華救贖他僕人的靈魂．凡投靠他的、必不至定罪。

Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; And none of them that take refuge in him shall be condemned. Psalm 35 [A Psalm] of David.

第35章

大衞的詩。耶和華阿、與我相爭的、求你與他們相爭．與我相戰的、求你與他們相戰．

Strive thou, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me: Fight thou against them that fight against me.

拿着大小的盾牌、起來幫助我．

Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help.

抽出槍來、擋住那追趕我的．求你對我的靈魂說、我是拯救你的。

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

願那尋索我命的、蒙羞受辱．願那謀害我的、退後羞愧。

Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor that seek after my soul: Let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.

願他們像風前的糠、有耶和華的使者趕逐他們。

Let them be as chaff before the wind, And the angel of Jehovah driving [them] on.

願他們的道路、又暗又滑、有耶和華的使者追趕他們。

Let their way be dark and slippery, And the angel of Jehovah pursuing them.

因他們無故的爲我暗設網羅．無故的挖坑、要害我的性命。

For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit; Without cause have they digged [a pit] for my soul.

願災禍忽然臨到他身上．願他暗設的網纏住自己．願他落在其中遭災禍。

Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself: With destruction let him fall therein.

我的心必靠耶和華快樂、靠他的救恩高興。

And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah: It shall rejoice in his salvation.

我的骨頭都要說、耶和華阿、誰能像你救護困苦人、脫離那比他強壯的、救護困苦窮乏人、脫離那搶奪他的。

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?

凶惡的見證人起來、盤問我所不知道的事。

Unrighteous witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I know not.

他們向我以惡報善、使我的靈魂孤苦。

They reward me evil for good, [To] the bereaving of my soul.

至於我、當他們有病的時候、我便穿麻衣、禁食刻苦己心．我所求的都歸到自己的懷中。

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted my soul with fasting; And my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

我這樣行、好像他是我的朋友、我的弟兄．我屈身悲哀、如同人爲母親哀痛。

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother.

我在患難中、他們卻歡喜、大家聚集．我所不認識的那些下流人、聚集攻擊我．他們不住的把我撕裂。

But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: The abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; They did tear me, and ceased not:

他們如同席上好嬉笑的狂妄人、向我咬牙。

Like the profane mockers in feasts, They gnashed upon me with their teeth.

主阿、你看着不理、要到幾時呢．求你救我的靈魂、脫離他們的殘害、救我的生命、脫離少壯獅子。〈生命原文作獨一者〉

Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, My darling from the lions.

我在大會中要稱謝你、在衆民中要讚美你。

I will give thee thanks in the great assembly: I will praise thee among much people.

求你不容那無理與我爲仇的、向我誇耀．不容那無故恨我的、向我擠眼。

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

因爲他們不說和平話．倒想出詭詐的言語、害地上的安靜人。

For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.

他們大大張口攻擊我、說、阿哈、阿哈、我們的眼已經看見了。

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

耶和華阿、你已經看見了．求你不要閉口．主阿、求你不要遠離我。

Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

我的神我的主阿、求你奮興醒起、判清我的事、伸明我的寃。

Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice [due] unto me, [Even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

耶和華我的神阿、求你按你的公義判斷我、不容他們向我誇耀．

Judge me, O Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me.

不容他們心裏說、阿哈、遂我們的心願了．不容他們說、我們已經把他吞了。

Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it: Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

願那喜歡我遭難的、一同抱愧蒙羞．願那向我妄自尊大的、披慚愧、蒙羞辱。

Let them be put to shame and confounded together that rejoice at my hurt: Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.

願那喜悅我寃屈得伸的、〈寃屈得伸原文作公義〉歡呼快樂．願他們常說、當尊耶和華爲大．耶和華喜悅他的僕人平安。

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, Who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

我的舌頭、要終日論說你的公義、時常讚美你。

And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness [And] of thy praise all the day long. Psalm 36 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of Jehovah.

第36章

耶和華的僕人大衞的詩、交與伶長。惡人的罪過、在他心裏說、我眼中不怕神。

The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

他自誇自媚、以爲他的罪孽終不顯露、不被恨惡。

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.

他口中的言語、盡是罪孽詭詐．他與智慧善行、已經斷絕。

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise [and] to do good.

他在牀上圖謀罪孽、定意行不善的道、不憎惡惡事。

He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.

耶和華阿、你的慈愛、上及諸天．你的信實、達到穹蒼。

Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the skies.

你的公義、好像高山．你的判斷、如同深淵．耶和華阿、人民牲畜、你都救護。

Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; Thy judgments are a great deep: O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.

神阿、你的慈愛、何其寶貴．世人投靠在你翅膀的蔭下。

How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

他們必因你殿裏的肥甘、得以飽足．你也必叫他們喝你樂河的水。

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; And thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

因爲在你那裏、有生命的源頭．在你的光中、我們必得見光。

For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.

願你常施慈愛給認識你的人．常以公義待心裏正直的人．

Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

不容驕傲人的腳踐踏我、不容凶惡人的手趕逐我。

Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

在那裏作孽的人、已經仆倒．他們被推倒、不能再起來。

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise. Psalm 37 [A Psalm] of David.

第37章

大衞的詩。不要爲作惡的、心懷不平、也不要向那行不義的、生出嫉妒。

Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.

因爲他們如草快被割下、又如青菜快要枯乾。

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.

你當倚靠耶和華而行善．住在地上、以他的信實爲糧．

Trust in Jehovah, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on [his] faithfulness.

又要以耶和華爲樂．他就將你心裏所求的賜給你。

Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

當將你的事交託耶和華、並倚靠他、他就必成全。

Commit thy way unto Jehovah; Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.

他要使你的公義、如光發出、使你的公平、明如正午。

And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, And thy justice as the noon-day.

你當默然倚靠耶和華、耐性等候他．不要因那道路通達的、和那惡謀成就的、心懷不平。

Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

當止住怒氣、離棄忿怒．不要心懷不平、以致作惡。

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself, [it tendeth] only to evil-doing.

因爲作惡的、必被剪除．惟有等候耶和華的、必承受地土。

For evil-doers shall be cut off; But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.

還有片時、惡人要歸於無有．你就是細察他的住處、也要歸於無有。

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.

但謙卑人必承受地土、以豐盛的平安爲樂。

But the meek shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

惡人設謀害義人、又向他咬牙。

The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

主要笑他、因見他受罰的日子將要來到。

The Lord will laugh at him; For he seeth that his day is coming.

惡人已經弓上弦、刀出鞘、要打倒困苦窮乏的人、要殺害行動正直的人。

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way.

他們的刀、必刺入自己的心、他們的弓、必被折斷。

Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.

一個義人所有的雖少、強過許多惡人的富餘。

Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked.

因爲惡人的膀臂、必被折斷．但耶和華是扶持義人。

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.

耶和華知道完全人的日子．他們的產業、要存到永遠。

Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; And their inheritance shall be for ever.

他們在急難的時候、不至羞愧、在饑荒的日子、必得飽足。

They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

惡人卻要滅亡．耶和華的仇敵、要像羊羔的脂油．〈或作像草地的華美〉他們要消滅、要如煙消滅。

But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; In smoke shall they consume away.

惡人借貸而不償還．義人卻恩待人、並且施捨。

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

蒙耶和華賜福的、必承受地土．被他咒詛的、必被剪除。

For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land; And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.

義人的腳步、被耶和華立定．他的道路、耶和華也喜愛。

A man`s goings are established of Jehovah; And he delighteth in his way.

他雖失腳、也不至全身仆倒．因爲耶和華用手攙扶他。〈或作攙扶他的手〉

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.

我從前年幼、現在年老、卻未見過義人被棄．也未見過他的後裔討飯。

I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread.

他終日恩待人、借給人．他的後裔也蒙福。

All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed.

你當離惡行善、就可永遠安居。

Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore.

因爲耶和華喜愛公平、不撇棄他的聖民．他們永蒙保佑．但惡人的後裔必被剪除。

For Jehovah loveth justice, And forsaketh not his saints; They are preserved for ever: But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

義人必承受地土、永居其上。

The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell therein for ever.

義人的口談論智慧、他的舌頭講說公平。

The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, And his tongue speaketh justice.

神的律法在他心裏．他的腳總不滑跌。

The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.

惡人窺探義人、想要殺他。

The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him.

耶和華必不撇他在惡人手中、當審判的時候、也不定他的罪。

Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.

你當等候耶和華、遵守他的道、他就抬舉你、使你承受地土．惡人被剪除的時候、你必看見。

Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

我見過惡人大有勢力、好像一根青翠樹在本土生發。

I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

有人從那裏經過、不料、他沒有了．我也尋找他、卻尋不着。

But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

你要細察那完全人、觀看那正直人．因爲和平人有好結局。

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; For there is a [happy] end to the man of peace.

至於犯法的人、必一同滅絕．惡人終必剪除。

As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

但義人得救、是由於耶和華．他在患難時作他們的營寨。

But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

耶和華幫助他們、解救他們．他解救他們脫離惡人、把他們救出來、因爲他們投靠他。

And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them; He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, Because they have taken refuge in him. Psalm 38 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

第38章

大衞的記念詩。耶和華阿、求你不要在怒中責備我．不要在烈怒中懲罰我。

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

因爲你的箭射入我身、你的手壓住我。

For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore.

因你的惱怒、我的肉無一完全．因我的罪過、我的骨頭也不安寧。

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

我的罪孽高過我的頭、如同重擔叫我擔當不起。

For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

因我的愚昧、我的傷發臭流膿。

My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.

我疼痛、大大拳曲、終日哀痛。

I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

我滿腰是火．我的肉無一完全。

For my loins are filled with burning; And there is no soundness in my flesh.

我被壓傷、身體疲倦．因心裏不安、我就唉哼。

I am faint and sore bruised: I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

主阿、我的心願都在你面前．我的歎息不向你隱瞞。

Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee.

我心跳動、我力衰微、連我眼中的光、也沒有了。

My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

我的良朋密友、因我的災病、都躱在旁邊站着．我的親戚本家、也遠遠的站立。

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.

那尋索我命的、設下網羅．那想要害我的、口出惡言、終日思想詭計。

They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me]; And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all the day long.

但我如聾子不聽、像啞吧不開口。

But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

我如不聽見的人、口中沒有回話。

Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

耶和華阿、我仰望你．主我的神阿、你必應允我。

For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

我曾說、恐怕他們向我誇耀．我失腳的時候、他們向我誇大。

For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

我幾乎跌倒．我的痛苦常在我面前。

For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.

我要承認我的罪孽．我要因我的罪憂愁。

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯．無理恨我的增多了。

But mine enemies are lively, [and] are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

以惡報善的與我作對、因我是追求良善。

They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.

耶和華阿、求你不要撇棄我．我的神阿、求你不要遠離我。

Forsake me not, O Jehovah: O my God, be not far from me.

拯救我的主阿、求你快快幫助我。

Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. Psalm 39 For the Chief Musician, Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

第39章

大衞的詩、交與伶長耶杜頓。我曾說、我要謹愼我的言行、免得我舌頭犯罪．惡人在我面前的時候、我要用嚼環勒住我的口。

I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.

我默然無聲、連好話也不出口．我的愁苦就發動了。

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred.

我的心在我裏面發熱．我默想的時候、火就燒起、我便用舌頭說話．

My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned: [Then] spake I with my tongue:

耶和華阿、求你叫我曉得我身之終、我的壽數幾何、叫我知道我的生命不長。

Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.

你使我的年日、窄如手掌．我一生的年數、在你面前、如同無有．各人最穩妥的時候、眞是全然虛幻。細拉

Behold, thou hast made my days [as] handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah

世人行動實係幻影．他們忙亂、眞是枉然．積蓄財寶、不知將來有誰收取。

Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.

主阿、如今我等甚麼呢．我的指望在乎你。

And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.

求你救我脫離一切的過犯．不要使我受愚頑人的羞辱。

Deliver me from all my transgressions: Make me not the reproach of the foolish.

因我所遭遇的是出於你、我就默然不語。

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; Because thou didst it.

求你把你的責罰從我身上免去．因你手的責打、我便消滅。

Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.

你因人的罪惡、懲罰他的時候、叫他的笑容消滅、〈的笑容或作所喜愛的〉如衣被蟲所咬．世人眞是虛幻。細拉

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: Surely every man is vanity. Selah

耶和華阿．求你聽我的禱告、留心聽我的呼求．我流淚、求你不要靜默無聲．因爲我在你面前是客旅、是寄居的、像我列祖一般。

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; Hold not thy peace at my tears: For I am a stranger with thee, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.

求你寬容我、使我在去而不返之先、可以力量復原。

Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go hence, and be no more. Psalm 40 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

第40章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。我曾耐性等候耶和華．他垂聽我的呼求。

I waited patiently for Jehovah; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

他從禍坑裏、從淤泥中、把我拉上來、使我的腳立在磐石上、使我腳步穩當。

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

他使我口唱新歌、就是讚美我們神的話．許多人必看見而懼怕、並要倚靠耶和華。

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall trust in Jehovah.

那倚靠耶和華、不理會狂傲和偏向虛假之輩的、這人便爲有福。

Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

耶和華我的神阿、你所行的奇事、並你向我們所懷的意念甚多、不能向你陳明．若要陳明、其事不可勝數。

Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, And thy thoughts which are to us-ward; They cannot be set in order unto thee; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered.

祭物和禮物、你不喜悅．你已經開通我的耳朶．燔祭和贖罪祭、非你所要。

Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.

那時我說、看哪、我來了．我的事在經卷上已經記載了。

Then said I, Lo, I am come; In the roll of the book it is written of me:

我的神阿、我樂意照你的旨意行．你的律法在我心裏。

I delight to do thy will, O my God; Yea, thy law is within my heart.

我在大會中宣傳公義的佳音．我必不止住我的嘴唇．耶和華阿、這是你所知道的。

I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Jehovah, thou knowest.

我未曾把你的公義藏在心裏．我已陳明你的信實、和你的救恩．我在大會中未曾隱瞞你的慈愛、和誠實。

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly.

耶和華阿、求你不要向我止住你的慈悲．願你的慈愛和誠實、常常保佑我。

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

因有無數的禍患圍困我．我的罪孽追上了我、使我不能昂首．這罪孽比我的頭髮還多．我就心寒膽戰。

For innumerable evils have compassed me about; Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; And my heart hath failed me.

耶和華阿、求你開恩搭救我．耶和華阿、求你速速幫助我。

Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me: Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

願那些尋找我、要滅我命的、一同抱愧蒙羞．願那些喜悅我受害的、退後受辱。

Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.

願那些對我說、阿哈、阿哈的、因羞愧而敗亡。

Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha.

願一切尋求你的、因你高興歡喜．願那些喜愛你救恩的、常說、當尊耶和華爲大。

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified.

但我是困苦窮乏的、主仍顧念我．你是幫助我的、搭救我的．神阿、求你不要躭延。

But I am poor and needy; [Yet] the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; Make no tarrying, O my God. Psalm 41 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

第41章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。眷顧貧窮的有福了．他遭難的日子、耶和華必搭救他。

Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

耶和華必保全他、使他存活．他必在地上享福．求你不要把他交給仇敵、遂其所願。

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.

他病重在榻、耶和華必扶持他．他在病中、你必給他鋪牀。

Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

我曾說、耶和華阿、求你憐恤我、醫治我．因爲我得罪了你。

I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

我的仇敵用惡言議論我、說、他幾時死、他的名纔滅亡呢。

Mine enemies speak evil against me, [saying], When will he die, and his name perish?

他來看我、就說假話．他心存奸惡、走到外邊纔說出來。

And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

一切恨我的、都交頭接耳的議論我．他們設計要害我。

All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt.

他們說、有怪病貼在他身上．他已躺臥、必不能再起來。

An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

連我知己的朋友、我所倚靠、喫過我飯的、也用腳踢我。

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.

耶和華阿、求你憐恤我、使我起來、好報復他們。

But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them.

因我的仇敵不得向我誇勝．我從此便知道你喜愛我。

By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

你因我純正、就扶持我、使我永遠站在你的面前。

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever.

耶和華以色列的神、是應當稱頌的、從亙古直到永遠。阿們、阿們。

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. Book II Psalm 42 For the Chief Musician. Maschil of the sons of Korah.

第42章

可拉後裔的訓誨詩、交與伶長。神阿、我的心切慕你、如鹿切慕溪水。

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.

我的心渴想神、就是永生神．我幾時得朝見神呢。

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: When shall I come and appear before God?

我晝夜以眼淚當飲食．人不住的對我說、你的神在哪裏呢。

My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

我從前與衆人同往、用歡呼稱讚的聲音、領他們到神的殿裏、大家守節．我追想這些事、我的心極其悲傷。

These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

我的心哪、你爲何憂悶、爲何在我裏面煩躁．應當仰望神．因他笑臉幫助我、我還要稱讚他。

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And [why] art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him [For] the help of his countenance.

我的神阿、我的心在我裏面憂悶．所以我從約但地、從黑門嶺、從米薩山、記念你。

O my God, my soul is cast down within me: Therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

你的瀑布發聲、深淵就與深淵響應．你的波浪洪濤漫過我身。

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

白晝耶和華必向我施慈愛．黑夜我要歌頌禱告賜我生命的神。

[Yet] Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time; And in the night his song shall be with me, [Even] a prayer unto the God of my life.

我要對神我的磐石說、你爲何忘記我呢．我爲何因仇敵的欺壓時常哀痛呢。

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

我的敵人辱罵我、好像打碎我的骨頭、不住的對我說、你的神在哪裏呢。

As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

我的心哪、你爲何憂悶、爲何在我裏面煩躁．應當仰望神．因我還要稱讚他．他是我臉上的光榮、〈原文作幫助〉是我的神。

第43章

神阿、求你伸我的寃、向不虔誠的國、爲我辨屈．求你救我脫離詭詐不義的人。

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

因爲你是賜我力量的神、爲何丟棄我呢．我爲何因仇敵的欺壓時常哀痛呢。

For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

求你發出你的亮光和眞實、好引導我、帶我到你的聖山、到你的居所。

Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me: Let them bring me unto thy holy hill, And to thy tabernacles.

我就走到神的祭壇、到我最喜樂的神那裏．神阿、我的神、我要彈琴稱讚你。

Then will I go unto the altar of God, Unto God my exceeding joy; And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.

我的心哪、你爲何憂悶、爲何在我裏面煩躁．應當仰望神．因我還要稱讚他．他是我臉上的光榮、〈原文作幫助〉是我的神。

第44章

可拉後裔的訓誨詩、交與伶長。神阿、你在古時、我們列祖的日子、所行的事、我們親耳聽見了、我們的列祖、也給我們述說過。

We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, What work thou didst in their days, In the days of old.

你曾用手趕出外邦人、卻栽培了我們列祖．你苦待列邦、卻叫我們列祖發達。

Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand; But them thou didst plant: Thou didst afflict the peoples; But them thou didst spread abroad.

因爲他們不是靠自己的刀劍得地土、也不是靠自己的膀臂得勝．乃是靠你的右手、你的膀臂、和你臉上的亮光、因爲你喜悅他們。

For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou wast favorable unto them.

神阿、你是我的王、求你出令、使雅各得勝。

Thou art my King, O God: Command deliverance for Jacob.

我們靠你要推倒我們的敵人．靠你的名要踐踏那起來攻擊我們的人。

Through thee will we push down our adversaries: Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

因爲我必不靠我的弓、我的刀也不能使我得勝。

For I will not trust in my bow, Neither shall my sword save me.

惟你救了我們脫離敵人、使恨我們的人羞愧。

But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And hast put them to shame that hate us.

我們終日因神誇耀、還要永遠稱謝你的名。細拉

In God have we made our boast all the day long, And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. Selah

但如今你丟棄了我們、使我們受辱、不和我們的軍兵同去。

But now thou hast cast [us] off, and brought us to dishonor, And goest not forth with our hosts.

你使我們向敵人轉身退後．那恨我們的人任意搶奪。

Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; And they that hate us take spoil for themselves.

你使我們當作快要被喫的羊、把我們分散在列邦中。

Thou hast made us like sheep [appointed] for food, And hast scattered us among the nations.

你賣了你的子民也不賺利．所得的價值、並不加添你的貲財。

Thou sellest thy people for nought, And hast not increased [thy wealth] by their price.

你使我們受鄰國的羞辱被四圍的人嗤笑譏刺。

Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to them that are round about us.

你使我們在列邦中作了笑談、使衆民向我們搖頭。

Thou makest us a byword among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples.

我的凌辱、終日在我面前我臉上的羞愧、將我遮蔽．

All the day long is my dishonor before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me,

都因那辱罵毀謗人的聲音、又因仇敵和報仇人的緣故。

For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth, By reason of the enemy and the avenger.

這都臨到我們身上．我們卻沒有忘記你、也沒有違背你的約。

All this is come upon us; Yet have we not forgotten thee, Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

我們的心沒有退後、我們的腳也沒有偏離你的路。

Our heart is not turned back, Neither have our steps declined from thy way,

你在野狗之處壓傷我們、用死蔭遮蔽我們。

That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.

倘若我們忘了神的名、或向別神舉手、

If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

神豈不鑒察這事麼．因爲他曉得人心裏的隱祕。

Will not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

我們爲你的緣故終日被殺、人看我們如將宰的羊。

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

主阿、求你睡醒、爲何儘睡呢．求你興起、不要永遠丟棄我們。

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast [us] not off for ever.

你爲何掩面、不顧我們所遭的苦難、和所受的欺壓。

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

我們的性命伏於塵土．我們的肚腹緊貼地面。

For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our body cleaveth unto the earth.

求你起來幫助我們、憑你的慈愛救贖我們。

Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy lovingkindness` sake. Psalm 45 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.

第45章

可拉後裔的訓誨詩、又是愛慕歌、交與伶長、調用百合花。我心裏湧出美辭．我論到我爲王作的事．我的舌頭是快手筆。

My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

你比世人更美、在你嘴裏滿有恩惠．所以神賜福給你、直到永遠。

Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

大能者阿、願你腰間佩刀、大有榮耀和威嚴。

Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.

爲眞理、謙卑、公義、赫然坐車前往、無不得勝．你的右手必顯明可畏的事。

And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

你的箭鋒快、射中王敵之心．萬民仆倒在你以下。

Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; [They are] in the heart of the king`s enemies.

神阿、你的寶座是永永遠遠的．你的國權是正直的。

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

你喜愛公義、恨惡罪惡．所以神、就是你的神、用喜樂油膏你、勝過膏你的同伴。

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

你的衣服、都有沒藥沉香肉桂的香氣．象牙宮中有絲絃樂器的聲音、使你歡喜。

All thy garments [smell of] myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

有君王的女兒、在你尊貴婦女之中．王后佩戴俄斐金飾、站在你右邊。

Kings` daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

女子阿、你要聽、要想、要側耳而聽．不要記念你的民、和你的父家．

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father`s house:

王就羨慕你的美貌．因爲他是你的主．你當敬拜他。

So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

推羅的民、〈民原文作女子〉必來送禮．民中的富足人、也必向你求恩。

And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

王女在宮裏、極其榮華．他的衣服是用金線繡的。

The king`s daughter within [the palace] is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

他要穿錦繡的衣服、被引到王前．隨從他的陪伴童女、也要被帶到你面前。

She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.

他們要歡喜快樂被引導．他們要進入王宮。

With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king`s palace.

你的子孫要接續你的列祖．你要立他們在全地作王。

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.

我必叫你的名被萬代記念．所以萬民要永永遠遠稱謝你。

I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever. Psalm 46 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song.

第46章

可拉後裔的詩歌、交與伶長、調用女音。神是我們的避難所、是我們的力量、是我們在患難中隨時的幫助。

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

所以地雖改變、山雖搖動到海心、

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;

其中的水雖匉訇翻騰、山雖因海漲而戰抖、我們也不害怕。細拉

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof. Selah

有一道河．這河的分汊、使神的城歡喜．這城就是至高者居住的聖所。

There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

神在其中．城必不動搖．到天一亮、神必幫助這城。

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.

外邦喧嚷、列國動搖．神發聲、地便鎔化。

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

萬軍之耶和華與我們同在．雅各的神是我們的避難所。細拉

Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

你們來看耶和華的作爲、看他使地怎樣荒涼。

Come, behold the works of Jehovah, What desolations he hath made in the earth.

他止息刀兵、直到地極．他折弓、斷槍、把戰車焚燒在火中。

He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.

你們要休息、要知道我是神．我必在外邦中被尊崇、在徧地上也被尊崇。

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

因爲耶和華至高者是可畏的．他是治理全地的大君王。

For Jehovah Most High is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth.

你們要向神歌頌、歌頌、向我們王歌頌、歌頌。

Sing praise to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

第48章

可拉後裔的詩歌。耶和華本爲大、在我們神的城中、在他的聖山上、該受大讚美。

Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

錫安山、大君王的城、在北面居高華美、爲全地所喜悅。

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, The city of the great King.

神在其宮中自顯爲避難所。

God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

看哪、衆王會合、一同經過。

For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.

他們見了這城、就驚奇喪膽、急忙逃跑。

They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.

他們在那裏被戰兢疼痛抓住、好像產難的婦人一樣。

神阿、你用東風打破他施的船隻。

With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

我們在萬軍之耶和華的城中、就是我們神的城中、所看見的、正如我們所聽見的．神必堅立這城、直到永遠。細拉

As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah

神阿、我們在你的殿中、想念你的慈愛。

We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.

神阿、你受的讚美、正與你的名相稱、直到地極．你的右手滿了公義。

As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

因你的判斷、錫安山應當歡喜猶大的城邑、應當快樂。〈城邑原文作女子〉

Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.

你們當周遊錫安、四圍旋繞、數點城樓、

Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;

細看他的外郭、察看他的宮殿、爲要傳說到後代。

Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.

因爲這神永永遠遠爲我們的神．他必作我們引路的、直到死時。

第49章

可拉後裔的詩、交與伶長。萬民哪、你們都當聽這話、世上一切的居民、

Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,

無論上流下流、富足貧窮、都當留心聽。

Both low and high, Rich and poor together.

我口要說智慧的言語．我心要想通達的道理。

My mouth shall speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

我要側耳聽比喻、用琴解謎語。

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

在患難的日子、奸惡隨我腳跟、四面環繞我、我何必懼怕。

Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?

那些倚仗財貨自誇錢財多的人、

They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

一個也無法贖自己的弟兄、也不能替他將贖價給神、

None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him;

叫他長遠活着、不見朽壞．因爲贖他生命的價值極貴、只可永遠罷休．

(For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;)

叫他長遠活着、不見朽壞．因爲贖他生命的價值極貴、只可永遠罷休．

That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.

他必見智慧人死．又見愚頑人和畜類人、一同滅亡、將他們的財貨留給別人。

For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.

他們心裏思想、他們的家室必永存、住宅必留到萬代．他們以自己的名、稱自己的地。

Their inward thought is, [that] their houses [shall continue] for ever, [And] their dwelling-places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.

但人居尊貴中不能長久、如同死亡的畜類一樣。

But man [being] in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.

他們行的這道、本爲自己的愚昧．但他們以後的人、還佩服他們的話語。細拉

This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah

他們如同羊羣派定下陰間．死亡必作他們的牧者．到了早晨、正直人必管轄他們．他們的美容、必被陰間所滅、以致無處可存。

They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.

只是神必救贖我的靈魂、脫離陰間的權柄、因他必收納我。細拉

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. Selah

見人發財家室增榮的時候、你不要懼怕．

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.

因爲他死的時候、甚麼也不能帶去．他的榮耀不能隨他下去。

For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.

他活着的時候、雖然自誇爲有福、（你若利己、人必誇獎你）

Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,)

他仍必歸到他歷代的祖宗那裏、永不見光。

He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.

人在尊貴中、而不醒悟、就如死亡的畜類一樣。

Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish. Psalm 50 A Psalm of Asaph.

第50章

亞薩的詩。大能者神耶和華、已經發言招呼天下、從日出之地到日落之處。

The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

從全美的錫安中、神已經發光了。

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.

我們的神要來、決不閉口．有烈火在他面前吞滅、有暴風在他四圍大颳。

Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him.

他招呼上天下地、爲要審判他的民、

He calleth to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people:

說、招聚我的聖民到我這裏來、就是那些用祭物與我立約的人。

Gather my saints together unto me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

諸天必表明他的公義．因爲神是施行審判的。細拉

And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. Selah

我的民哪、你們當聽我的話．以色列阿、我要勸戒你．我是神、是你的神。

Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, [even] thy God.

我並不因你的祭物責備你．你的燔祭常在我面前。

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.

我不從你家中取公牛、也不從你圈內取山羊。

I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy folds.

因爲樹林中的百獸是我的、千山上的牲畜也是我的。

For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

山中的飛鳥、我都知道．野地的走獸、也都屬我。

I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine.

我若是飢餓、我不用告訴你．因爲世界、和其中所充滿的、都是我的。

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

我豈喫公牛的肉呢．我豈喝山羊的血呢。

Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?

你們要以感謝爲祭獻與神．又要向至高者還你的願．

Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High:

並要在患難之日求告我、我必搭救你．你也要榮耀我。

And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

但神對惡人說、你怎敢傳說我的律例、口中題到我的約呢．

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth,

其實你恨惡管教、將我的言語丟在背後。

Seeing thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee?

你見了盜賊、就樂意與他同夥、又與行姦淫的人、一同有分。

When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him, And hast been partaker with adulterers.

你口任說惡言、你舌編造詭詐。

Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit.

你坐着毀謗你的兄弟、讒毀你親母的兒子。

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother`s son.

你行了這些事、我還閉口不言．你想我恰和你一樣．其實我要責備你、將這些事擺在你眼前。

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: [But] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.

你們忘記神的、要思想這事、免得我把你們撕碎、無人搭救。

Now consider this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:

凡以感謝獻上爲祭的、便是榮耀我．那按正路而行的、我必使他得着我的救恩。

Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; And to him that ordereth his way [aright] Will I show the salvation of God. Psalm 51 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

第51章

大衞與拔示巴同室以後、先知拿單來見他．他作這詩、交與伶長。神阿、求你按你的慈愛憐恤我、按你豐盛的慈悲塗抹我的過犯。

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

求你將我的罪孽洗除淨盡、並潔除我的罪。

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

因爲我知道我的過犯．我的罪常在我面前。

For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.

我向你犯罪、惟獨得罪了你、在你眼前行了這惡、以致你責備我的時候、顯爲公義．判斷我的時候、顯爲清正。

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.

我是在罪孽裏生的．在我母親懷胎的時候、就有了罪。

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.

你所喜愛的、是內裏誠實．你在我隱密處、必使我得智慧。

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

求你用牛膝草潔淨我、我就乾淨．求你洗滌我、我就比雪更白。

Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

求你使我得聽歡喜快樂的聲音、使你所壓傷的骨頭、可以踴躍。

Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

求你掩面不看我的罪、塗抹我一切的罪孽。

Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.

神阿、求你爲我造清潔的心、使我裏面重新有正直的靈。〈正直或作堅定〉

Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.

不要丟棄我、使我離開你的面．不要從我收回你的聖靈。

Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me.

求你使我仍得救恩之樂、賜我樂意的靈扶持我．

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.

我就把你的道指教有過犯的人．罪人必歸順你。

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee.

神阿、你是拯救我的神．求你救我脫離流人血的罪．我的舌頭就高聲歌唱你的公義。

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; [And] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

主阿、求你使我嘴唇張開、我的口便傳揚讚美你的話。

O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

你本不喜愛祭物．若喜愛、我就獻上．燔祭你也不喜悅。

For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

神所要的祭、就是憂傷的靈．神阿、憂傷痛悔的心、你必不輕看。

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

求你隨你的美意善待錫安、建造耶路撒冷的城牆。

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

那時、你必喜愛公義的祭、和燔祭、並全牲的燔祭．那時、人必將公牛獻在你壇上。

Then will thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and in whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar. Psalm 52 For the Chief Musician. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Abimelech.

第52章

以東人多益來告訴掃羅說、大衞到了亞希米勒家．那時、大衞作這訓誨詩、交與伶長。勇士阿、你爲何以作惡自誇．神的慈愛是常存的。

Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God [endureth] continually.

你的舌頭邪惡詭詐、好像剃頭刀、快利傷人。

Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

你愛惡勝似愛善、又愛說謊、不愛說公義。細拉

Thou lovest evil more than good, And lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah

詭詐的舌頭阿、你愛說一切毀滅的話。

Thou lovest all devouring words, thou deceitful tongue.

神也要毀滅你、直到永遠．他要把你拿去、從你的帳棚中抽出、從活人之地將你拔出。細拉

God will likewise destroy thee for ever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah

義人要看見而懼怕、並要笑他、

The righteous also shall see [it], and fear, And shall laugh at him, [saying],

說、看哪、這就是那不以神爲他力量的人．只倚仗他豐富的財物、在邪惡上堅立自己。

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.

至於我、就像神殿中的青橄欖樹．我永永遠遠倚靠神的慈愛。

But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.

我要稱謝你、直到永遠、因爲你行了這事．我也要在你聖民面前仰望你的名．這名本爲美好。

I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints. Psalm 53 For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David.

第53章

大衞的訓誨詩、交與伶長、調用麻哈拉。愚頑人心裏說、沒有神。他們都是邪惡、行了可憎惡的罪孽．沒有一個人行善。

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none that doeth good.

神從天上垂看世人、要看有明白的沒有、有尋求他的沒有。

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

他們各人都退後、一同變爲汚穢．並沒有行善的、連一個也沒有。

Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

作孽的沒有知識麼．他們吞喫我的百姓如同喫飯一樣．並不求告神。

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, And call not upon God?

他們在無可懼怕之處、就大大害怕．因爲神把那安營攻擊你之人的骨頭散開了．你使他們蒙羞、因爲神棄絕了他們。

There were they in great fear, where no fear was; For God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: Thou hast put them to shame, because of God hath rejected them.

但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出。神救回他被擄的子民、那時雅各要快樂、以色列要歡喜。

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. Psalm 54 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?

第54章

西弗人來對掃羅說、大衞豈不是在我們那裏藏身麼．那時大衞作這訓誨詩、交與伶長、用絲絃的樂器。神阿、求你以你的名救我、憑你的大能爲我伸寃。

Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.

神阿、求你聽我的禱告、留心聽我口中的言語。

Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.

因爲外人起來攻擊我、強暴人尋索我的命．他們眼中沒有神。細拉

For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah

神是幫助我的、是扶持我命的。

Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

他要報應我仇敵所行的惡．求你憑你的誠實滅絕他們。

He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

我要把甘心祭獻給你．耶和華阿、我要稱讚你的名．這名本爲美好。

With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

他從一切的急難中、把我救出來．我的眼睛也看見了我仇敵遭報。

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies. Psalm 55 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David.

第55章

大衞的訓誨詩、交與伶長、用絲絃的樂器。神阿、求你留心聽我的禱告．不要隱藏不聽我的懇求。

Give ear to my prayer, O God; And hide not thyself from my supplication.

求你側耳聽我、應允我．我哀歎不安、發聲唉哼．

Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

都因仇敵的聲音、惡人的欺壓．因爲他們將罪孽加在我身上、發怒氣逼迫我。

Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they cast iniquity upon me, And in anger they persecute me.

我心在我裏面甚是疼痛．死的驚惶臨到我身。

My heart is sore pained within me: And the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

恐懼戰兢歸到我身、驚恐漫過了我。

Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, And horror hath overwhelmed me.

我說、但願我有翅膀像鴿子、我就飛去、得享安息。

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away, and be at rest.

我必遠遊、宿在曠野。細拉

Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah

我必速速逃到避所、脫離狂風暴雨。

I would haste me to a shelter From the stormy wind and tempest.

主阿、求你吞滅他們、變亂他們的舌頭．因爲我在城中見了強暴爭競的事。

Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

他們在城牆上晝夜遶行．在城內也有罪孽和姦惡。

Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.

邪惡在其中、欺壓和詭詐不離街市。

Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets.

原來不是仇敵辱罵我．若是仇敵、還可忍耐．也不是恨我的人向我狂大．若是恨我的人、就必躱避他。

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; Then I could have borne it: Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; Then I would have hid myself from him:

不料是你、你原與我平等、是我的同伴、是我知己的朋友。

But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend.

我們素常彼此談論、以爲甘甜．我們與羣衆在神的殿中同行。

We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng.

願死亡忽然臨到他們．願他們活活的下入陰間．因爲他們的住處、他們的心中、都是邪惡。

Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into Sheol; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.

至於我、我要求告神．耶和華必拯救我。

As for me, I will call upon God; And Jehovah will save me.

我要晚上、早晨、晌午、哀聲悲歎．他也必聽我的聲音。

Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan; And he will hear my voice.

他救贖我命脫離攻擊我的人、使我得享平安．因爲與我相爭的人甚多。

He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; For they were many [that strove] with me.

那沒有更變、不敬畏神的人、從太古常存的神、必聽見而苦待他。

God will hear, and answer them, Even he that abideth of old, Selah [The men] who have no changes, And who fear not God.

他背了約、伸手攻擊與他和好的人。

He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.

他的口如奶油光滑、他的心卻懷着爭戰。他的話比油柔和、其實是拔出來的刀。

His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.

你要把你的重擔卸給耶和華、他必撫養你．他永不叫義人動搖。

Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

神阿、你必使惡人下入滅亡的坑．流人血行詭詐的人、必活不到半世、但我要倚靠你。

But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee. Psalm 56 For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath.

第56章

非利士人在迦特拿住大衞．那時他作這金詩、交與伶長、調用遠方無聲鴿。神阿、求你憐憫我、因爲人要把我吞了、終日攻擊欺壓我。

Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: All the day long he fighting oppresseth me.

我的仇敵終日要把我吞了．因逞驕傲攻擊我的人甚多。

Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me.

我懼怕的時候要倚靠你。

What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

我倚靠神、我要讚美他的話．我倚靠神、必不懼怕．血氣之輩能把我怎麼樣呢。

In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?

他們終日顚倒我的話．他們一切的心思、都是要害我。

All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil.

他們聚集、埋伏窺探我的腳蹤、等候要害我的命。

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.

他們豈能因罪孽逃脫麼．神阿、求你在怒中使衆民墮落。

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

我幾次流離、你都記數．求你把我眼淚裝在你的皮袋裏．這不都記在你冊子上麼。

Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?

我呼求的日子、我的仇敵都要轉身退後．神幫助我、這是我所知道的。

Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.

我倚靠神．我要讚美他的話．我倚靠耶和華．我要讚美他的話．

In God (I will praise [his] word), In Jehovah (I will praise [his] word),

我倚靠神、必不懼怕．人能把我怎麼樣呢。

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?

神阿、我向你所許的願在我身上．我要將感謝祭獻給你。

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank-offerings unto thee.

因爲你救我的命脫離死亡．你豈不是救護我的腳不跌倒、使我在生命光中行在神面前麼。

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [Hast thou] not [delivered] my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living? Psalm 57 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tash-heth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

第57章

大衞逃避掃羅、藏在洞裏．那時他作這金詩、交與伶長、調用休要毀壞。神阿、求你憐憫我、憐憫我．因爲我的心投靠你．我要投靠在你翅膀的蔭下、等到災害過去。

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; For my soul taketh refuge in thee: Yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, Until [these] calamities be overpast.

我要求告至高的神、就是爲我成全諸事的神。

I will cry unto God Most High, Unto God that performeth [all things] for me.

那要吞我的人辱罵我的時候、神從天上必施恩救我．也必向我發出慈愛和誠實。

He will send from heaven, and save me, [When] he that would swallow me up reproacheth; Selah God will send forth his lovingkindness and his truth.

我的性命在獅子中間．我躺臥在性如烈火的世人當中．他們的牙齒是槍、箭．他們的舌頭是快刀。

My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

神阿、願你崇高、過於諸天．願你的榮耀、高過全地。

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [Let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.

他們爲我的腳設下網羅、壓制我的心．他們在我面前挖了坑、自己反掉在其中。細拉

They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down: They have digged a pit before me; They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah

神阿、我心堅定、我心堅定．我要唱詩、我要歌頌。

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.

我的靈阿、〈原文作榮耀〉你當醒起、琴瑟阿、你們當醒起．我自己要極早醒起。

Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.

主阿、我要在萬民中稱謝你、在列邦中歌頌你。

I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

因爲你的慈愛、高及諸天．你的誠實、達到穹蒼。

For thy lovingkindness is great unto the heavens, And thy truth unto the skies.

神阿、願你崇高過於諸天．願你的榮耀、高過全地。

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [Let] thy glory [be] above all the earth. Psalm 58 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam.

第58章

大衞的金詩、交與伶長、調用休要毀壞。世人哪、你們默然不語、眞合公義麼．施行審判、豈按正直麼。

Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

不然、你們是心中作惡．你們在地上秤出你們手所行的強暴。

Nay, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

惡人一出母胎、就與神疎遠．一離母腹、便走錯路、說謊話。

The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

他們的毒氣、好像蛇的毒氣．他們好像塞耳的聾虺、

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [They are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear,

不聽行法術的聲音．雖用極靈的咒語、也是不聽。

Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.

神阿、求你敲碎他們口中的牙．耶和華阿、求你敲掉少壯獅子的大牙。

Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.

願他們消滅如急流的水一般．他們瞅準射箭的時候、願箭頭彷彿砍斷。

Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.

願他們像蝸牛消化過去、又像婦人墜落未見天日的胎。

[Let them be] as a snail which melteth and passeth away, [Like] the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.

你們用荊棘燒火．鍋還未熱、他要用旋風把青的和燒着的一齊颳去。

Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.

義人見仇敵遭報、就歡喜、要在惡人的血中洗腳。

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

因此、人必說、義人誠然有善報．在地上果有施行判斷的神。

So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth. Psalm 59 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.

第59章

掃羅打發人窺探大衞的房屋、要殺他．那時大衞用這金詩、交與伶長、調用休要毀壞。我的神阿、求你救我脫離仇敵、把我安置在高處、得脫那些起來攻擊我的人。

Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: Set me on high from them that rise up against me.

求你救我脫離作孽的人、和喜愛流人血的人。

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men.

因爲他們埋伏、要害我的命、有能力的人聚集來攻擊我．耶和華阿、這不是爲我的過犯、也不是爲我的罪愆。

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.

我雖然無過、他們豫備整齊、跑來攻擊我．求你興起鑒察、幫助我。

They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold.

萬軍之神耶和華以色列的神阿。求你興起、懲治萬邦．不要憐憫行詭詐的惡人。細拉

Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah

他們晚上轉回、叫號如狗、圍城遶行。

They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the city.

他們口中噴吐惡言、嘴裏有刀、他們說、有誰聽見。

Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, [say they], doth hear?

但你耶和華必笑話他們．你要嗤笑萬邦。

But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision.

我的力量阿、我必仰望你．因爲神是我的高臺。

[Because of] his strength I will give heed unto thee; For God is my high tower.

我的神要以慈愛迎接我．神要叫我看見我仇敵遭報。

My God with his lovingkindness will meet me: God will let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.

不要殺他們、恐怕我的民忘記．主阿、你是我們的盾牌．求你用你的能力使他們四散、且降爲卑。

Slay them not, lest my people forget: Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

因他們口中的罪、和嘴裏的言語、並咒罵虛謊的話、願他們在驕傲之中被纏住了。

[For] the sin of their mouth, [and] the words of their lips, Let them even be taken in their pride, And for cursing and lying which they speak.

求你發怒、使他們消滅、以至歸於無有、叫他們知道神在雅各中間掌權、直到地極。細拉

Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah

到了晚上、任憑他們轉回．任憑他們叫號如狗、圍城遶行。

And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, And go round about the city.

他們必走來走去、尋找食物．若不得飽、就終夜在外。

They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied.

但我要歌頌你的力量、早晨要高唱你的慈愛．因爲你作過我的高臺．在我急難的日子、作過我的避難所。

But I will sing of thy strength; Yea, I will sing aloud of thy lovingkindness in the morning: For thou hast been my high tower, And a refuge in the day of my distress.

我的力量阿、我要歌頌你．因爲神是我的高臺、是賜恩與我的神。

Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy. Psalm 60 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Shushan Eduth. Michtam of David, to teach; and when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.

第60章

大衞與兩河間的亞蘭並瑣巴的亞蘭爭戰的時候、約押轉回、在鹽谷攻擊以東、殺了一萬二千人．那時大衞作這金詩、叫人學習、交與伶長、調用爲證的百合花。神阿、你丟棄了我們、使我們破敗．你向我們發怒．求你使我們復興。

O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again.

你使地震動、而且崩裂．求你將裂口醫好．因爲地搖動。

Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

你叫你的民遇見艱難．你叫我們喝那使人東倒西歪的酒。

Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

你把旌旗賜給敬畏你的人、可以爲眞理揚起來。細拉

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah

求你應允我們、用右手拯救我們、好叫你所親愛的人得救。

That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.

神已經指着他的聖潔說、〈說或作應許我〉我要歡樂．我要分開示劍、丈量疎割谷。

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

基列是我的、瑪拿西也是我的．以法蓮是護衞我頭的．猶大是我的杖．

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

摩押是我的沐浴盆．我要向以東拋鞋．非利士阿、你還能因我歡呼麼。

Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me.

誰能領我進堅固城．誰能引我到以東地。

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

神阿、你不是丟棄了我們麼．神阿、你不和我們的軍兵同去麼。

Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

求你幫助我們攻擊敵人、因爲人的幫助是枉然的。

Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.

我們倚靠神、纔得施展大能、因爲踐踏我們敵人的就是他。

Through God we shall do valiantly; For he it is that will tread down our adversaries. Psalm 61 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David.

第61章

大衞的詩、交與伶長、用絲絃的樂器。神阿、求你聽我的呼求、側耳聽我的禱告．

Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.

我心裏發昏的時候、我要從地極求告你．求你領我到那比我更高的磐石。

From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

因爲你作過我的避難所、作過我的堅固臺、脫離仇敵。

For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.

我要永遠住在你的帳幕裏．我要投靠在你翅膀下的隱密處。細拉

I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah

神阿、你原是聽了我所許的願．你將產業賜給敬畏你名的人。

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

你要加添王的壽數．他的年歲必存到世世。

Thou wilt prolong the king`s life; His years shall be as many generations.

他必永遠坐在神面前．願你豫備慈愛和誠實保佑他。

He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

這樣、我要歌頌你的名、直到永遠、好天天還我所許的願。

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows. Psalm 62 For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthan. A Psalm of David.

第62章

大衞的詩、照耶杜頓的作法、交與伶長。我的心默默無聲、專等候神．我的救恩是從他而來。

My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him [cometh] my salvation.

惟獨他是我的磐石、我的拯救．他是我的高臺．我必不很動搖。

He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

你們大家攻擊一人、把他毀壞、如同毀壞歪斜的牆、將倒的壁、要到幾時呢。

How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay [him], all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

他們彼此商議、專要從他的尊位上把他推下．他們喜愛謊話．口雖祝福、心卻咒詛。細拉

They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah

我的心哪、你當默默無聲、專等候神．因爲我的盼望是從他而來。

My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.

惟獨他是我的磐石、我的拯救．他是我的高臺．我必不動搖。

He only is my rock and my salvation: [He is] my high tower; I shall not be moved.

我的拯救、我的榮耀、都在乎神．我力量的磐石、我的避難所、都在乎神．

With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

你們衆民當時時倚靠他、在他面前傾心吐意．神是我們的避難所。細拉

Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah

下流人眞是虛空、上流人也是虛假．放在天平裏就必浮起．他們一共比空氣還輕。

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

不要仗勢欺人、也不要因搶奪而驕傲．若財寶加增、不要放在心上。

Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart [thereon].

神說了一次、兩次、我都聽見、就是能力都屬乎神。

God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.

主阿、慈愛也是屬乎你．因爲你照着各人所行的報應他。

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work. Psalm 63 A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

第63章

大衞在猶大曠野的時候、作了這詩。神阿、你是我的神、我要切切的尋求你．在乾旱疲乏無水之地、我渴想你、我的心切慕你。

O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.

我在聖所中曾如此瞻仰你、爲要見你的能力、和你的榮耀。

So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, To see thy power and thy glory.

因你的慈愛比生命更好、我的嘴唇要頌讚你。

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise thee.

我還活的時候要這樣稱頌你．我要奉你的名舉手。

So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

我在牀上記念你、在夜更的時候思想你、我的心就像飽足了骨髓肥油．我也要以歡樂的嘴唇讚美你。

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;

我在牀上記念你、在夜更的時候思想你、我的心就像飽足了骨髓肥油．我也要以歡樂的嘴唇讚美你。

When I remember thee upon my bed, [And] meditate on thee in the night-watches.

因爲你曾幫助我、我就在你翅膀的蔭下歡呼。

For thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

我心緊緊的跟隨你．你的右手扶持我。

My soul followeth hard after thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me.

但那些尋索要滅我命的人、必往地底下去。

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

他們必被刀劍所殺、被野狗所喫。

They shall be given over to the power of the sword: They shall be a portion for foxes.

但是王必因神歡喜．凡指着他發誓的、必要誇口．因爲說謊之人的口、必被塞住。

But the king shall rejoice in God: Every one that sweareth by him shall glory; For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. Psalm 64 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

第64章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。神阿、我哀歎的時候、求你聽我的聲音．求你保護我的性命、不受仇敵的驚恐。

Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

求你把我隱藏、使我脫離作惡之人的暗謀、和作孽之人的擾亂．

Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

他們磨舌如刀、發出苦毒的言語、好像比準了的箭．

Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

要在暗地射完全人．他們忽然射他、並不懼怕。

That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

他們彼此勉勵設下惡計．他們商量暗設網羅、說、誰能看見。

They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?

他們圖謀奸惡、說、我們是極力圖謀的．他們各人的意念心思是深的。

They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, [say they], a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

但神要射他們．他們忽然被箭射傷。

But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.

他們必然絆跌、被自己的舌頭所害．凡看見他們的、必都搖頭。

So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.

衆人都要害怕、要傳揚神的工作、並且明白他的作爲。

And all men shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider of his doing.

義人必因耶和華歡喜、並要投靠他．凡心裏正直的人、都要誇口。

The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him; And all the upright in heart shall glory. Psalm 65 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A song of David.

第65章

大衞的詩歌、交與伶長。神阿、錫安的人、都等候讚美你、所許的願、也要向你償還。

Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion; And unto thee shall the vow be performed.

聽禱告的主阿、凡有血氣的、都要來就你。

O thou that hearest prayer, Unto thee shall all flesh come.

罪孽勝了我．至於我們的過犯、你都要赦免。

Iniquities prevail against me: As for our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

你所揀選、使他親近你、住在你院中的、這人便爲有福．我們必因你居所、你聖殿的美福知足了。

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee], That he may dwell in thy courts: We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, Thy holy temple.

拯救我們的神阿、你必以威嚴秉公義應允我們．你本是一切地極、和海上遠處的人所倚靠的。

By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, Oh God of our salvation, Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of them that are afar off upon the sea:

他旣以大能束腰、就用力量安定諸山．

Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains, Being girded about with might;

使諸海的響聲、和其中波浪的響聲、並萬民的喧嘩、都平靜了。

Who stilleth the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.

住在地極的人、因你的神蹟懼怕．你使日出日落之地都歡呼。

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

你眷顧地、降下透雨、使地大得肥美．神的河滿了水．你這樣澆灌了地、好爲人豫備五穀。

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it, Thou greatly enrichest it; The river of God is full of water: Thou providest them grain, when thou hast so prepared the earth.

你澆透地的犂溝、潤平犂脊．降甘霖、使地輭和．其中發長的、蒙你賜福。

Thou waterest its furrows abundantly; Thou settlest the ridges thereof: Thou makest it soft with showers; Thou blessest the springing thereof.

你以恩典爲年歲的冠冕．你的路徑都滴下脂油．

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; And thy paths drop fatness.

滴在曠野的草塲上．小山以歡樂束腰。

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; And the hills are girded with joy.

草塲以羊羣爲衣．谷中也長滿了五穀。這一切都歡呼歌唱．

The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered over with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing. Psalm 66 For the Chief Musician. A song, a Psalm.

第66章

一篇詩歌、交與伶長。全地都當向神歡呼、

Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:

歌頌他名的榮耀．用讚美的言語、將他的榮耀發明。

Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.

當對神說、你的作爲何等可畏．因你的大能仇敵要投降你。

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

全地要敬拜你、歌頌你、要歌頌你的名。細拉

All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah

你們來看神所行的．他向世人所作之事、是可畏的。

Come, and see the works of God; [He is] terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

他將海變成乾地．衆民步行過河．我們在那裏因他歡喜。

He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him.

他用權能治理萬民、直到永遠．他的眼睛鑒察列邦．悖逆的人不可自高。細拉

He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

萬民哪、你們當稱頌我們的神、使人得聽讚美他的聲音．

Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;

他使我們的性命存活、也不叫我們的腳搖動。

Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved.

神阿、你曾試驗我們、熬煉我們、如熬煉銀子一樣。

For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

你使我們進入網羅、把重擔放在我們的身上。

Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.

你使人坐車軋我們的頭．我們經過水火．你卻使我們到豐富之地。

Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

我要用燔祭進你的殿、向你還我的願、

I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

就是在急難時我嘴唇所發的、口中所許的。

Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.

我要把肥牛作燔祭、將公羊的香祭獻給你．又把公牛和山羊獻上。細拉

I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah

凡敬畏神的人、你們都來聽．我要述說他爲我所行的事。

Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

我曾用口求告他、我的舌頭、也稱他爲高。

I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue.

我若心裏注重罪孽、主必不聽。

If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

但神實在聽見了．他側耳聽了我禱告的聲音。

But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

神是應當稱頌的．他並沒有推卻我的禱告、也沒有叫他的慈愛離開我。

Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me. Psalm 67 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a song.

第67章

一篇詩歌、交與伶長、用絲絃的樂器。願神憐憫我們、賜福與我們、用臉光照我們．細拉

God be merciful unto us, and bless us, [And] cause his face to shine upon us; Selah

好叫世界得知你的道路、萬國得知你的救恩。

That thy way may be known upon earth, Thy salvation among all nations.

神阿、願列邦稱讚你。願萬民都稱讚你。

Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee.

願萬國都快樂歡呼．因爲你必按公正審判萬民、引導世上的萬國。細拉

神阿、願列邦稱讚你．願萬民都稱讚你。

Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee.

地已經出了土產．神就是我們的神、要賜福與我們。

The earth hath yielded its increase: God, even our own God, will bless us.

神要賜福與我們．地的四極都要敬畏他。

God will bless us; And all the ends of the earth shall fear him. Psalm 68 For the Chief Musician; A Psalm of David, a song.

第68章

大衞的詩歌、交與伶長。願神興起、使他的仇敵四散、叫那恨他的人、從他面前逃跑。

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; Let them also that hate him flee before him.

他們被驅逐、如煙被風吹散．惡人見神之面而消滅、如蠟被火鎔化。

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

惟有義人必然歡喜、在神面前高興快樂。

But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.

你們當向神唱詩、歌頌他的名．爲那坐車行過曠野的、修平大路．他的名是耶和華．要在他面前歡樂。

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him.

神在他的聖所作孤兒的父、作寡婦的伸寃者。

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.

神叫孤獨的有家、使被囚的出來享福．惟有悖逆的住在乾燥之地。

God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

神阿、你曾在你百姓前頭出來、在曠野行走。細拉

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah

那時地見神的面而震動、天也落雨．西乃山見以色列神的面也震動。

The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped [rain] at the presence of God: Yon Sinai [trembled] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

神阿、你降下大雨．你產業以色列疲乏的時候、你使他堅固。

Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

你的會衆住在其中．神阿、你的恩惠是爲困苦人豫備的。

Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.

主發命令、傳好信息的婦女成了大羣。

The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host.

統兵的君王逃跑了、逃跑了．在家等候的婦女、分受所奪的。

Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.

你們安臥在羊圈的時候、好像鴿子的翅膀鍍白銀、翎毛鍍黃金一般。

When ye lie among the sheepfolds, [It is as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.

全能者在境內趕散列王的時候、勢如飄雪在撒們。

When the Almighty scattered kings therein, [It was as when] it snoweth in Zalmon.

巴珊山是神的山．巴珊山是多峯多嶺的山。

A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.

你們多峯多嶺的山哪、爲何斜看神所願居住的山．耶和華必住這山、直到永遠。

Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell [in it] for ever.

神的車輦累萬盈千．主在其中、好像在西乃聖山一樣。

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them, [as in] Sinai, in the sanctuary.

你已經升上高天、擄掠仇敵、你在人間、就是在悖逆的人間、受了供獻、叫耶和華神可以與他們同住。

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, [among] the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell [with them].

天天背負我們重擔的主、就是拯救我們的神、是應當稱頌的。細拉

Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. Selah

神是爲我們施行諸般救恩的神．人能脫離死亡、是在乎主耶和華。

God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.

但神要打破他仇敵的頭、就是那常犯罪之人的髮頂。

But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.

主說、我要使衆民從巴珊而歸、使他們從深海而回．

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depths of the sea;

使你打碎仇敵、你的腳踹在血中、使你狗的舌頭、從其中得分。

That thou mayest crush [them], [dipping] thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from [thine] enemies.

神阿、你是我的神、我的王．人已經看見你行走、進入聖所。

They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

歌唱的行在前、作樂的隨在後、都在擊鼓的童女中間。

The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.

從以色列源頭而來的、當在各會中稱頌主神。

Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, [ye that are] of the fountain of Israel.

在那裏有統管他們的小便雅憫、有猶大的首領、和他們的羣衆．有西布倫的首領．有拿弗他利的首領。

There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah [and] their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

以色列的能力、是神所賜的．神阿、求你堅固你爲我們所成全的事。

Thy God hath commanded thy strength: Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

因你耶路撒冷的殿、列王必帶貢物獻給你．

Because of thy temple at Jerusalem Kings shall bring presents unto thee.

求你叱喝蘆葦中的野獸、和羣公牛、並列邦中的牛犢、把銀塊踹在腳下．神已經趕散好爭戰的列邦。

Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.

埃及的公侯要出來朝見神．古實人要急忙舉手禱告。

Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God.

世上的列國阿、你們要向神歌唱．願你們歌頌主、

Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the Lord; Selah

歌頌那自古駕行在諸天以上的主．他發出聲音、是極大的聲音。

To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.

你們要將能力歸給神．他的威榮在以色列之上、他的能力是在穹蒼。

Ascribe ye strength unto God: His excellency is over Israel, And his strength is in the skies.

神阿、你從聖所顯爲可畏．以色列的神、是那將力量權能賜給他百姓的。神是應當稱頌的。

O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: The God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed be God. Psalm 69 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshanim. [A Psalm] of David.

第69章

大衞的詩、交與伶長、調用百合花。神阿、求你救我．因爲衆水要淹沒我。

Save me, O God; For the waters are come in unto my soul.

我陷在深淤泥中、沒有立腳之地．我到了深水中．大水漫過我身。

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

我因呼求困乏、喉嚨發乾．我因等候神、眼睛失明。

I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

無故恨我的、比我頭髮還多．無理與我爲仇、要把我剪除的、甚爲強盛．我沒有搶奪的、要叫我償還。

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.

神阿、我的愚昧你原知道．我的罪愆不能隱瞞。

O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my sins are not hid from thee.

萬軍的主耶和華阿、求你叫那等候你的、不要因我蒙羞．以色列的神阿、求你叫那尋求你的、不要因我受辱。

Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts: Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.

因我爲你的緣故受了辱罵、滿面羞愧。

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face.

我的弟兄看我爲外路人．我的同胞看我爲外邦人。

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother`s children.

因我爲你的殿心裏焦急、如同火燒．並且辱罵你人的辱罵、都落在我身上。

For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.

我哭泣、以禁食刻苦我心、這倒算爲我的羞辱。

When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.

我拿麻布當衣裳、就成了他們的笑談。

When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword unto them.

坐在城門口的談論我．酒徒也以我爲歌曲。

They that sit in the gate talk of me; And [I am] the song of the drunkards.

但我在悅納的時候、向你耶和華祈禱．神阿、求你按你豐盛的慈愛、憑你拯救的誠實、應允我。

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness, Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

求你搭救我出離淤泥、不叫我陷在其中．求你使我脫離那些恨我的人、使我出離深水。

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

求你不容大水漫過我、不容深淵吞滅我、不容坑坎在我以上合口。

Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep shallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

耶和華阿、求你應允我、因爲你的慈愛本爲美好．求你按你豐盛的慈悲、回轉眷顧我。

Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.

不要掩面不顧你的僕人．我是在急難之中．求你速速的應允我。

And hide not thy face from thy servant; For I am in distress; answer me speedily.

求你親近我、救贖我．求你因我的仇敵把我贖回。

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: Ransom me because of mine enemies.

你知道我受的辱罵、欺凌、羞辱．我的敵人都在你面前。

Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: Mine adversaries are all before thee.

辱罵傷破了我的心．我又滿了憂愁．我指望有人體恤、卻沒有一個．我指望有人安慰、卻找不着一個。

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.

他們拿苦膽給我當食物．我渴了、他們拿醋給我喝。

They gave me also gall for my food; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

願他們的筵席、在他們面前變爲網羅、在他們平安的時候、變爲機檻．

Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, [let it become] a trap.

願他們的眼睛昏矇、不得看見．願你使他們的腰常常戰抖。

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; And make their loins continually to shake.

求你將你的惱恨、倒在他們身上、叫你的烈怒、追上他們。

Pour out thine indignation upon them, And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.

願他們的住處、變爲荒塲．願他們的帳棚、無人居住。

Let their habitation be desolate; Let none dwell in their tents.

因爲你所擊打的、他們就逼迫．你所擊傷的、他們戲說他的愁苦。

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; And they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.

願你在他們的罪上加罪、不容他們在你面前稱義。

Add iniquity unto their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness.

願他們從生命冊上被塗抹、不得記錄在義人之中。

Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous.

但我是困苦憂傷的．神阿、願你的救恩將我安置在高處。

But I am poor and sorrowful: Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

我要以詩歌讚美神的名、以感謝稱他爲大。

I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving.

這便叫耶和華喜悅、勝似獻牛、或是獻有角有蹄的公牛。

And it will please Jehovah better than an ox, [Or] a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

謙卑的人看見了、就喜樂．尋求神的人、願你們的心甦醒。

The meek have seen it, and are glad: Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.

因爲耶和華聽了窮乏人、不藐視被囚的人。

For Jehovah heareth the needy, And despiseth not his prisoners.

願天和地、洋海、和其中一切的動物、都讚美他。

Let heaven and earth praise him, The seas, and everything that moveth therein.

因爲神要拯救錫安、建造猶大的城邑．他的民要在那裏居住、得以爲業。

For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

他僕人的後裔、要承受爲業．愛他名的人、也要住在其中。

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it; And they that love his name shall dwell therein. Psalm 70 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David; to bring to remembrance.

第70章

大衞的記念詩、交與伶長。神阿、求你快快搭救我．耶和華阿、求你速速幫助我。

[Make haste], O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

願那些尋索我命的、抱愧蒙羞．願那些喜悅我遭害的、退後受辱。

Let them be put to shame and confounded That seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.

願那些對我說、阿哈、阿哈的、因羞愧退後。

Let them be turned back by reason of their shame That say, Aha, aha.

願一切尋求你的、因你高興歡喜．願那些喜愛你救恩的常說、當尊神爲大。

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

但我是困苦窮乏的．神阿、求你速速到我這裏來．你是幫助我的、搭救我的．耶和華阿、求你不要躭延。

But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying. Psalm 71

第71章

耶和華阿、我投靠你．求你叫我永不羞愧。

In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame.

求你憑你的公義搭救我、救拔我、側耳聽我、拯救我。

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me: Bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.

求你作我常住的磐石．你已經命定要救我．因爲你是我的巖石、我的山寨。

Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; For thou art my rock and my fortress.

我的神阿、求你救我脫離惡人的手、脫離不義和殘暴之人的手。

Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

主耶和華阿、你是我所盼望的．從我年幼你是我所倚靠的。

For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah: [Thou art] my trust from my youth.

我從出母胎被你扶持．使我出母腹的是你．我必常常讚美你。

By thee have I been holden up from the womb; Thou art he that took me out of my mother`s bowels: My praise shall be continually of thee.

許多人以我爲怪．但你是我堅固的避難所。

I am as a wonder unto many; But thou art my strong refuge.

你的讚美、你的榮耀、終日必滿了我的口。

My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day.

我年老的時候、求你不要丟棄我．我力氣衰弱的時候、求你不要離棄我。

Cast me not off in the time of old age; Forsake me not when my strength faileth.

我的仇敵議論我．那些窺探要害我命的彼此商議、

For mine enemies speak concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,

說、神已經離棄他．我們追趕他、捉拿他罷．因爲沒有人搭救。

Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.

神阿、求你不要遠離我．我的神阿、求你速速幫助我。

O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.

願那與我性命爲敵的、羞愧被滅．願那謀害我的、受辱蒙羞。

Let them be put to shame [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.

我卻要常常盼望、並要越發讚美你。

But I will hope continually, And will praise thee yet more and more.

我的口終日要述說你的公義、和你的救恩．因我不計其數。

My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, [And] of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers [thereof].

我要來說主耶和華大能的事．我單要題說你的公義。

I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

神阿、自我年幼時、你就教訓我．直到如今、我傳揚你奇妙的作爲。

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

神阿、我到年老髮白的時候、求你不要離棄我、等我將你的能力指示下代、將你的大能指示後世的人。

Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto [the next] generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.

神阿、你的公義甚高．行過大事的神阿、誰能像你。

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?

你是叫我們多經歷重大急難的、必使我們復活．從地的深處救上來。

Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles, Wilt quicken us again, And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

求你使我越發昌大、又轉來安慰我。

Increase thou my greatness, And turn again and comfort me.

我的神阿、我要鼓瑟稱讚你、稱讚你的誠實．以色列的聖者阿、我要彈琴歌頌你。

I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [Even] thy truth, O my God: Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

我歌頌你的時候、我的嘴唇、和你所贖我的靈魂、都必歡呼。

My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

並且我的舌頭、必終日講論你的公義、因爲那些謀害我的人、已經蒙羞受辱了。

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long; For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt. Psalm 72 [A Psalm] of Solomon.

第72章

所羅門的詩。神阿、求你將判斷的權柄賜給王、將公義賜給王的兒子。

Give the king thy judgments, O God, And thy righteousness unto the king`s son.

他要按公義審判你的民、按公平審判你的困苦人。

He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice.

大山小山、都要因公義使民得享平安。

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.

他必爲民中的困苦人伸寃、拯救窮乏之輩、壓碎那欺壓人的。

He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor.

太陽還存、月亮還在、人要敬畏你、直到萬代。

They shall fear thee while the sun endureth, And so long as the moon, throughout all generations.

他必降臨、像雨降在已割的草地上、如甘霖滋潤田地。

He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, As showers that water the earth.

在他的日子義人要發旺、大有平安、好像月亮長存。

In his days shall the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

他要執掌權柄、從這海直到那海、從大河直到地極。

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth.

住在曠野的、必在他面前下拜．他的仇敵必要餂土。

They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; And his enemies shall lick the dust.

他施和海島的王要進貢．示巴和西巴的王要獻禮物。

The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute: The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

諸王都要叩拜他、萬國都要事奉他。

Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him.

因爲窮乏人呼求的時候、他要搭救、沒有人幫助的困苦人、他也要搭救。

For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.

他要憐恤貧寒和窮乏的人、拯救窮苦人的性命。

He will have pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save.

他要救贖他們脫離欺壓和強暴．他們的血在他眼中看爲寶貴、

He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:

他們要存活。示巴的金子要奉給他．人要常常爲他禱告、終日稱頌他。

And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long.

在地的山頂上、五穀必然茂盛．〈五穀必然茂盛或作有一把五穀〉所結的穀實、要響動如利巴嫩的樹林．城裏的人、要發旺如地上的草。

There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

他的名要存到永遠、要留傳如日之久．人要因他蒙福．萬國要稱他有福。

His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun: And men shall be blessed in him; All nations shall call him happy.

獨行奇事的耶和華以色列的神、是應當稱頌的．

Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things:

他榮耀的名、也當稱頌、直到永遠．願他的榮耀、充滿全地。阿們、阿們。

And blessed be his glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen.

耶西的兒子大衞的祈禱完畢。

The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. BOOK III Psalm 73 A Psalm of Asaph.

第73章

亞薩的詩。神實在恩待以色列那些清心的人。

Surely God is good to Israel, [Even] to such as are pure in heart.

至於我、我的腳幾乎失閃．我的腳險些滑跌。

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; My steps had well nigh slipped.

我見惡人和狂傲人享平安、就心懷不平。

For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

他們死的時候、沒有疼痛．他們的力氣、卻也壯實。

For there are no pangs in their death; But their strength is firm.

他們不像別人受苦、也不像別人遭災。

They are not in trouble as [other] men; Neither are they plagued like [other] men.

所以、驕傲如鍊子戴在他們的項上．強暴像衣裳遮住他們的身體。

Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment.

他們的眼睛因體胖而凸出．他們所得的、過於心裏所想的。

Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish.

他們譏笑人、憑惡意說欺壓人的話．他們說話自高。

They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: They speak loftily.

他們的口褻瀆上天．他們的舌毀謗全地。

They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.

所以神的民歸到這裏、喝盡了滿杯的苦水。

Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a full [cup] are drained by them.

他們說、神怎能曉得．至高者豈有知識呢。

And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

看哪、這就是惡人．他們旣是常享安逸、財寶便加增。

Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.

我實在徒然潔淨了我的心、徒然洗手表明無辜．

Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency;

因爲我終日遭災難、每早晨受懲治．

For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning.

我若說、我要這樣講、這就是以奸詐待你的衆子。

If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.

我思索怎能明白這事、眼看實係爲難．

When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;

等我進了神的聖所、思想他們的結局。

Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end.

你實在把他們安在滑地、使他們掉在沉淪之中。

Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.

他們轉眼之間、成了何等的荒涼．他們被驚恐滅盡了。

How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.

人睡醒了怎樣看夢、主阿、你醒了、也必照樣輕看他們的影像。

As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.

因而我心裏發酸、肺腑被刺．

For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart:

我這樣愚昧無知、在你面前如畜類一般。

So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was [as] a beast before thee.

然而我常與你同在．你攙着我的右手。

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand.

你要以你的訓言引導我、以後必接我到榮耀裏。

Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.

除你以外、在天上我有誰呢．除你以外、在地上我也沒有所愛慕的。

Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.

我的肉體、和我的心腸衰殘．但神是我心裏的力量、又是我的福分、直到永遠。

My flesh and my heart faileth; [But] God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.

遠離你的、必要死亡．凡離棄你行邪淫的、你都滅絕了。

For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, [departing] from thee.

但我親近神是與我有益．我以主耶和華爲我的避難所、好叫我述說你一切的作爲。

But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works. Psalm 74 Maschil of Asaph.

第74章

亞薩的訓誨詩。神阿、你爲何永遠丟棄我們呢．你爲何向你草塲的羊發怒如煙冒出呢．

O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

求你記念你古時所得來的會衆、就是你所贖作你產業支派的．並記念你向來所居住的錫安山。

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; [And] mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

求你舉步去看那日久荒涼之地、仇敵在聖所中所行的一切惡事。

Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.

你的敵人在你會中吼叫．他們豎了自己的旗爲記號。

Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.

他們好像人揚起斧子、砍伐林中的樹。

They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.

聖所中一切雕刻的、他們現在用斧子錘子打壞了。

And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.

他們用火焚燒你的聖所、褻瀆你名的居所、拆毀到地。

They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name [by casting it] to the ground.

他們心裏說、我們要盡行毀滅、他們就在徧地把神的會所都燒燬了。

They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

我們不見我們的標幟．不再有先知．我們內中也沒有人知道這災禍要到幾時呢。

We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

神阿、敵人辱罵要到幾時呢．仇敵褻瀆你的名、要到永遠麼．

How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

你爲甚麼縮回你的右手．求你從懷中伸出來、毀滅他們。

Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? [Pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them].

神自古以來爲我的王、在地上施行拯救。

Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.

你曾用能力將海分開、將水中大魚的頭打破。

Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.

你曾砸碎鱷魚的頭、把他給曠野的禽獸爲食物。〈禽獸原文作民〉

Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

你曾分裂磐石、水便成了溪河、你使長流的江河乾了。

Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: Thou driedst up mighty rivers.

白晝屬你、黑夜也屬你．亮光和日頭、是你所豫備的。

The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

地的一切疆界、是你所立的．夏天和冬天、是你所定的。

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.

耶和華阿、仇敵辱罵、愚頑民褻瀆了你的名、求你記念這事。

Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.

不要將你斑鳩的性命交給野獸．不要永遠忘記你困苦人的性命。

Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.

求你顧念所立的約．因爲地上黑暗之處、都滿了強暴的居所。

Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.

不要叫受欺壓的人蒙羞回去．要叫困苦窮乏的人讚美你的名。

Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.

神阿、求你起來、爲自己伸訴．要記念愚頑人怎樣終日辱罵你。

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.

不要忘記你敵人的聲音．那起來敵你之人的喧嘩時常上升。

Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually. Psalm 75 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tash-heth. A Psalm of Asaph; a song.

第75章

亞薩的詩歌、交與伶長、調用休要毀壞。神阿、我們稱謝你、我們稱謝你。因爲你的名相近、人都述說你奇妙的作爲。

We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, for thy name is near: Men tell of thy wondrous works.

我到了所定的日期、必按正直施行審判。

When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.

地和其上的居民、都消化了．我曾立了地的柱子．細拉

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. Selah

我對狂傲人說、不要行事狂傲．對凶惡人說、不要舉角．

I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

不要把你們的角高舉．不要挺着頸項說話。

Lift not up your horn on high; Speak not with a stiff neck.

因爲高舉非從東、非從西、也非從南而來。

For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.

惟有神斷定．他使這人降卑、使那人升高。

But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

耶和華手裏有杯．其中的酒起沫．杯內滿了攙雜的酒．他倒出來．地上的惡人必都喝這酒的渣滓、而且喝盡。

For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

但我要宣揚、直到永遠．我要歌頌雅各的神。

But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

惡人一切的角、我要砍斷．惟有義人的角、必被高舉。

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up. Psalm 76 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a song.

第76章

亞薩的詩歌、交與伶長、用絲絃的樂器。在猶大神爲人所認識．在以色列他的名爲大。

In Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel.

在撒冷有他的帳幕、在錫安有他的居所。

In Salem also is his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion.

他在那裏折斷弓上的火箭、並盾牌、刀劍、和爭戰的兵器。細拉

There he brake the arrows of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah

你從有野食之山而來、有光華和榮美。

Glorious art thou [and] excellent, From the mountains of prey.

心中勇敢的人、都被搶奪．他們睡了長覺．沒有一個英雄能措手。

The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands.

雅各的神阿、你的斥責一發坐車的、騎馬的都沉睡了。

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

惟獨你是可畏的．你怒氣一發、誰能在你面前站得住呢。

Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

你從天上使人聽判斷．神起來施行審判、要救地上一切謙卑的人．那時地就懼怕而靜默。細拉

Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,

你從天上使人聽判斷．神起來施行審判、要救地上一切謙卑的人．那時地就懼怕而靜默。細拉

When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. Selah

人的忿怒、要成全你的榮美．人的餘怒、你要禁止。

Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.

你們許願、當向耶和華你們的神還願．在他四面的人、都當拿貢物獻給那可畏的主。

Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

他要挫折王子的驕氣．他向地上的君王、顯威可畏。

He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth. Psalm 77 For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthan. A Psalm of Asaph.

第77章

亞薩的詩、照耶杜頓的作法、交與伶長。我要向神發聲呼求．我向神發聲、他必留心聽我。

I will cry unto God with my voice, Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me.

我在患難之日尋求主．我在夜間不住的舉手禱告．我的心不肯受安慰。

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted.

我想念神、就煩躁不安．我沉吟悲傷、心便發昏。細拉

I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah

你叫我不能閉眼．我煩亂不安、甚至不能說話。

Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

我追想古時之日、上古之年。

I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.

我想起我夜間的歌曲、捫心自問．我心裏也仔細省察。

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search.

難道主要永遠丟棄我、不再施恩麼．

Will the Lord cast off for ever? And will he be favorable no more?

難道他的慈愛永遠窮盡、他的應許世世廢棄麼．

Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever? Doth his promise fail for evermore?

難道神忘記開恩．因發怒就止住他的慈悲麼。細拉

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah

我便說、這是我的懦弱．但我要追念至高者顯出右手之年代。

And I said, This is my infirmity; [But I will remember] the years of the right hand of the Most High.

我要題說耶和華所行的．我要記念你古時的奇事。

I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah; For I will remember thy wonders of old.

我也要思想你的經營、默念你的作爲。

I will meditate also upon all thy work, And muse on thy doings.

神阿、你的作爲是潔淨的．有何神大如神呢。

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is a great god like unto God?

你是行奇事的神．你曾在列邦中、彰顯你的能力。

Thou art the God that doest wonders: Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.

你曾用你的膀臂贖了你的民、就是雅各和約瑟的子孫。細拉

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

神阿、諸水見你、一見就都驚惶．深淵也都戰抖。

The waters saw thee, O God; The waters saw thee, they were afraid: The depths also trembled.

雲中倒出水來．天空發出響聲．你的箭也飛行四方。

The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound: Thine arrows also went abroad.

你的雷聲在旋風中．電光照亮世界．大地戰抖震動。

The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook.

你的道在海中、你的路在大水中、你的腳蹤無人知道。

Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known.

你曾藉摩西和亞倫的手、引導你的百姓、好像羊羣一般。

Thou leddest thy people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron. Psalm 78 Maschil of Asaph.

第78章

亞薩的訓誨詩。我的民哪、你們要留心聽我的訓誨、側耳聽我口中的話。

Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

我要開口說比喻．我要說出古時的謎語．

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,

是我們所聽見所知道的、也是我們的祖宗告訴我們的。

Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.

我們不將這些事向他們的子孫隱瞞．要將耶和華的美德和他的能力、並他奇妙的作爲、述說給後代聽。

We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.

因爲他在雅各中立法度、在以色列中設律法、是他吩咐我們祖宗、要傳給子孫的．

For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;

使將要生的後代子孫、可以曉得．他們也要起來告訴他們的子孫．

That the generation to come might know [them], even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell [them] to their children,

好叫他們仰望神、不忘記神的作爲．惟要守他的命令．

That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,

不要像他們的祖宗、是頑梗悖逆居心不正之輩、向着神心不誠實。

And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

以法蓮的子孫、帶着兵器、拿着弓、臨陣之日、轉身退後。

The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.

他們不遵守神的約、不肯照他的律法行．

They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;

又忘記他所行的、和他顯給他們奇妙的作爲。

And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.

他在埃及地、在瑣安田、在他們祖宗的眼前、施行奇事。

Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

他將海分裂、使他們過去．又叫水立起如壘。

He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; And he made the waters to stand as a heap.

他白日用雲彩、終夜用火光、引導他們。

In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.

他在曠野分裂磐石、多多的給他們水喝、如從深淵而出。

He clave rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

他使水從磐石湧出、叫水如江河下流。

He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.

他們卻仍舊得罪他、在乾燥之地悖逆至高者。

Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

他們心中試探神、隨自己所欲的求食物．

And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.

並且妄論神、說、神在曠野豈能擺設筵席麼。

Yea, they spake against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

他曾擊打磐石、使水湧出、成了江河．他還能賜糧食麼．還能爲他的百姓豫備肉麼。

Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?

所以耶和華聽見、就發怒．有烈火向雅各燒起、有怒氣向以色列上騰．

Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel;

因爲他們不信服神、不倚賴他的救恩。

Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation.

他卻吩咐天空、又敞開天上的門、

Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven;

降嗎哪像雨給他們喫、將天上的糧食賜給他們。

And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven.

各人〈或作人〉喫大能者的食物．他賜下糧食、使他們飽足。

Man did eat the bread of the mighty: He sent them food to the full.

他領東風起在天空、又用能力引了南風來。

He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by his power he guided the south wind.

他降肉像雨在他們當中、多如塵土、又降飛鳥、多如海沙、

He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged birds as the sand of the seas:

落在他們的營中、在他們住處的四面。

And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations.

他們喫了、而且飽足．這樣、就隨了他們所欲的。

So they did eat, and were well filled; And he gave them their own desire.

他們貪而無厭、食物還在他們口中的時候、

They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,

神的怒氣、就向他們上騰、殺了他們內中的肥壯人、打倒以色列的少年人。

When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel.

雖是這樣、他們仍舊犯罪、不信他奇妙的作爲。

For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works.

因此他叫他們的日子、全歸虛空、叫他們的年歲、盡屬驚恐。

Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in terror.

他殺他們的時候、他們纔求問他、回心轉意、切切的尋求神。

When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly.

他們也追念神是他們的磐石、至高的神、是他們的救贖主。

And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer.

他們卻用口諂媚他、用舌向他說謊。

But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue.

因他們的心向他不正、在他的約上也不忠心。

For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant.

但他有憐憫、赦免他們的罪孽、不滅絕他們．而且屢次消他的怒氣、不發盡他的忿怒。

But he, being merciful, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: Yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath.

他想到他們不過是血氣、是一陣去而不返的風。

And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

他們在曠野悖逆他、在荒地叫他擔憂、何其多呢。

How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!

他們再三試探神、惹動以色列的聖者。

And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.

他們不追念他的能力、〈原文作手〉和贖他們脫離敵人的日子．

They remember not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

他怎樣在埃及地顯神蹟、在瑣安田顯奇事、

How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,

把他們的江河、並河汊的水、都變爲血、使他們不能喝。

And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.

他叫蒼蠅成羣、落在他們當中、嘬盡他們．又叫青蛙滅了他們．

He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them.

把他們的土產交給螞蚱、把他們辛苦得來的交給蝗蟲。

He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust.

他降冰雹打壞他們的葡萄樹．下嚴霜打壞他們的桑樹．

He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost.

又把他們的牲畜交給冰雹．把他們的羣畜交給閃電。

He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

他使猛烈的怒氣、和忿怒、惱恨、苦難、成了一羣降災的使者、臨到他們。

He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, A band of angels of evil.

他爲自己的怒氣修平了路、將他們交給瘟疫、使他們死亡．

He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence,

在埃及擊殺一切長子、在含的帳棚中、擊殺他們強壯時頭生的。

And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

他卻領出自己的民如羊、在曠野引他們如羊羣。

But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

他領他們穩穩妥妥的、使他們不至害怕．海卻淹沒他們的仇敵。

And he led them safely, so that they feared not; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

他帶他們到自己聖地的邊界、到他右手所得的這山地。

And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.

他在他們面前趕出外邦人、用繩子將外邦的地量給他們爲業、叫以色列支派的人住在他們的帳棚裏。

He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

他們仍舊試探悖逆至高的神、不守他的法度．

Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;

反倒退後、行詭詐、像他們的祖宗一樣．他們改變、如同翻背的弓。

But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

因他們的邱壇、惹了他的怒氣、因他們雕刻的偶像、觸動他的憤恨。

For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

神聽見、就發怒、極其憎惡以色列人．

When God heard [this], he was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;

甚至他離棄示羅的帳幕、就是他在人間所搭的帳棚．

So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men;

又將他的約櫃〈原文作能力〉交與人擄去、將他的榮耀交在敵人手中。

And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the adversary`s hand.

並將他的百姓交與刀劍、向他的產業發怒。

He gave his people over also unto the sword, And was wroth with his inheritance.

少年人被火燒滅．處女也無喜歌。

Fire devoured their young men; And their virgins had no marriage-song.

祭司倒在刀下．寡婦卻不哀哭。

Their priests fell by the sword; And their widows made no lamentation.

那時主像世人睡醒、像勇士飲酒呼喊。

Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

他就打退了他的敵人、叫他們永蒙羞辱。

And he smote his adversaries backward: He put them to a perpetual reproach.

並且他棄掉約瑟的帳棚、不揀選以法蓮支派、

Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim,

卻揀選猶大支派、他所喜愛的錫安山．

But chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved.

蓋造他的聖所、好像高峯、又像他建立永存之地。

And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established for ever.

又揀選他的僕人大衞、從羊圈中將他召來．

He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds:

叫他不再跟從那些帶奶的母羊、爲要牧養自己的百姓雅各、和自己的產業以色列。

From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

於是他按心中的純正、牧養他們、用手中的巧妙、引導他們。

So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. Psalm 79 A Psalm of Asaph.

第79章

亞薩的詩。神阿、外邦人進入你的產業、汚穢你的聖殿、使耶路撒冷變成荒堆．

O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance; Thy holy temple have they defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

把你僕人的屍首、交與天空的飛鳥爲食、把你聖民的肉、交與地上的野獸．

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be food unto the birds of the heavens, The flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

在耶路撒冷周圍流他們的血如水、無人葬埋。

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; And there was none to bury them.

我們成爲鄰國的羞辱、成爲我們四圍人的嗤笑譏刺。

We are become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to them that are round about us.

耶和華阿、這到幾時呢．你要動怒到永遠麼．你的憤恨要如火焚燒麼。

How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

願你將你的忿怒倒在那不認識你的外邦、和那不求告你名的國度。

Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, And upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.

因爲他們吞了雅各、把他的住處變爲荒塲。

For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his habitation.

求你不要記念我們先祖的罪孽、向我們追討．願你的慈悲快迎着我們．因爲我們落到極卑微的地步。

Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers: Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us; For we are brought very low.

拯救我們的神阿、求你因你名的榮耀、幫助我們、爲你名的緣故、搭救我們、赦免我們的罪。

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name; And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name`s sake.

爲何容外邦人說、他們的神在哪裏呢．願你使外邦人知道你在我們眼前、伸你僕人流血的寃。

Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed Be known among the nations in our sight.

願被囚之人的歎息、達到你面前．願你按你的大能力、存留那些將要死的人。

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee: According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to death;

主阿、願你將我們鄰邦所羞辱你的羞辱、加七倍歸到他們身上。

And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

這樣、你的民、你草塲的羊、要稱謝你、直到永遠．要述說讚美你的話、直到萬代。

So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture Will give thee thanks for ever: We will show forth thy praise to all generations. Psalm 80 For the Chief Musician, set to Shoshanim Eduth.. A Psalm of Asaph.

第80章

亞薩的詩、交與伶長、調用爲證的百合花。領約瑟如領羊羣之以色列的牧者阿、求你留心聽．坐在二基路伯上的阿、求你發出光來。

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that sittest [above] the cherubim, shine forth.

在以法蓮便雅憫瑪拿西前面施展你的大能、來救我們。

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, And come to save us.

神阿、求你使我們回轉、〈回轉或作復興〉使你的臉發光、我們便要得救。

Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

耶和華萬軍之神阿、你向你百姓的禱告發怒、要到幾時呢．

O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

你以眼淚當食物給他們喫、又多量出眼淚給他們喝。

Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.

你使鄰邦因我們分爭．我們的仇敵彼此戲笑。

Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves.

萬軍之神阿、求你使我們回轉、使你的臉發光、我們便要得救。

Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

你從埃及挪出一棵葡萄樹、趕出外邦人、把這樹栽上。

Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.

你在這樹根前豫備了地方、他就深深扎根、爬滿了地。

Thou preparedst [room] before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.

他的影子遮滿了山、枝子好像佳美的香柏樹。

The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were [like] cedars of God.

他發出枝子、長到大海、發出蔓子、延到大河。

It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.

你爲何拆毀這樹的籬笆、任憑一切過路的人摘取．

Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?

林中出來的野豬、把他蹧踏、野地的走獸、拿他當食物。

The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

萬軍之神阿、求你回轉、從天上垂看、眷顧這葡萄樹、

Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,

保護你右手所栽的、和你爲自己所堅固的枝子。

And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

這樹已經被火焚燒被刀砍伐．他們因你臉上的怒容就滅亡了。

It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

願你的手扶持你右邊的人、就是你爲自己所堅固的人子。

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

這樣、我們便不退後離開你．求你救活我們、我們就要求告你的名。

So shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.

耶和華萬軍之神阿、求你使我們回轉、使你的臉發光、我們便要得救。

Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. Psalm 81 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph.

第81章

亞薩的詩、交與伶長、用迦特樂器。你們當向神我們的力量大聲歡呼、向雅各的神發聲歡樂、

Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

唱起詩歌、打手鼓、彈美琴與瑟。

Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery.

當在月朔、並月望我們過節的日期、吹角。

Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day.

因這是爲以色列定的律例、是雅各神的典章。

For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

他去攻擊埃及地的時候、在約瑟中間立此爲證．我在那裏聽見我所不明白的言語。

He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, [Where] I heard a language that I knew not.

神說、我使你的肩得脫重擔、你的手放下筐子。

I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.

你在急難中呼求、我就搭救你．我在雷的隱密處應允你、在米利巴水那裏試驗你。細拉

Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah

我的民哪、你當聽．我要勸戒你。以色列阿、甚願你肯聽從我。

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!

在你當中不可有別的神．外邦的神、你也不可下拜。

There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

我是耶和華你的神、曾把你從埃及地領上來．你要大大張口、我就給你充滿。

I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

無奈我的民不聽我的聲音．以色列全不理我。

But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.

我便任憑他們心裏剛硬、隨自己的計謀而行。

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.

甚願我的民肯聽從我、以色列肯行我的道．

Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!

我便速速治服他們的仇敵、反手攻擊他們的敵人。

I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.

恨耶和華的人必來投降、但他的百姓必永久長存。

The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever.

他也必拿上好的麥子給他們喫．又拿從磐石出的蜂蜜、叫他們飽足。

He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee. Psalm 82 A Psalm of Asaph.

第82章

亞薩的詩。神站在有權力者的會中．在諸神中行審判．

God standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth among the gods.

說、你們審判不秉公義、徇惡人的情面、要到幾時呢。細拉

How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? Selah

你們當爲貧寒的人和孤兒伸寃．當爲困苦和窮乏的人施行公義。

Judge the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

當保護貧寒和窮乏的人、救他們脫離惡人的手。

Rescue the poor and needy: Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

你們仍不知道、也不明白、在黑暗中走來走去．地的根基都搖動了。

They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

我曾說、你們是神、都是至高者的兒子。

I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.

然而你們要死、與世人一樣．要仆倒、像王子中的一位。

Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.

神阿、求你起來、審判世界．因爲你要得萬邦爲業。

Arise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations. Psalm 83 A song. A Psalm of Asaph.

第83章

亞薩的詩歌。神阿、求你不要靜默．神阿、求你不要閉口、也不要不作聲．

O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

因爲你的仇敵喧嚷．恨你的抬起頭來。

For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

他們同謀奸詐要害你的百姓、彼此商議要害你所隱藏的人。

Thy take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones.

他們說、來罷、我們將他們剪滅、使他們不再成國．使以色列的名、不再被人記念。

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

他們同心商議、彼此結盟、要抵擋你．

For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant:

就是住帳棚的以東人、和以實瑪利人．摩押和夏甲人．

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;

迦巴勒、亞捫、和亞瑪力、非利士、並推羅的居民．

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:

亞述也與他們連合．他們作羅得子孫的幫手。細拉

Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

求你待他們如待米甸、如在基順河待西西拉和耶賓一樣．

Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

他們在隱多珥滅亡、成了地上的糞土。

Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.

求你叫他們的首領、像俄立和西伊伯、叫他們的王子、都像西巴和撒慕拿。

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;

他們說、我們要得神的住處、作爲自己的產業。

Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.

我的神阿、求你叫他們像旋風的塵土、像風前的碎稭。

O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.

火怎樣焚燒樹林、火燄怎樣燒着山嶺．

As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,

求你也照樣用狂風追趕他們、用暴雨恐嚇他們。

So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.

願你使他們滿面羞恥．好叫他們尋求你耶和華的名。

Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.

願他們永遠羞愧驚惶．願他們慚愧滅亡．

Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;

使他們知道惟獨你名爲耶和華的、是全地以上的至高者。

That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 84 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

第84章

可拉後裔的詩、交與伶長、用迦特樂器。萬軍之耶和華阿、你的居所何等可愛。

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!

我羨慕渴想耶和華的院宇．我的心腸、我的肉體、向永生神呼籲。〈或作歡呼〉

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

萬軍之耶和華我的王、我的神阿、在你祭壇那裏、麻雀爲自己找着房屋．燕子爲自己找着菢雛之窩。

Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, My King, and my God.

如此住在你殿中的便爲有福。他們仍要讚美你。細拉

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. Selah

靠你有力量心中想往錫安大道的、這人便爲有福。

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways [to Zion].

他們經過流淚谷、叫這谷變爲泉源之地．並有秋雨之福、蓋滿了全谷。

Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

他們行走、力上加力、各人到錫安朝見神。

They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

耶和華萬軍之神阿、求你聽我的禱告．雅各的神阿、求你留心聽。細拉

O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah

神阿、你是我們的盾牌．求你垂顧觀看你受膏者的面。

Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.

在你的院宇住一日、勝似在別處住千日．寧可在我神殿中看門、不願住在惡人的帳棚裏。

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

因爲耶和華神是日頭、是盾牌、要賜下恩惠和榮耀．他未嘗留下一樣好處、不給那些行動正直的人。

For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

萬軍之耶和華阿、倚靠你的人、便爲有福。

O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. Psalm 85 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

第85章

可拉後裔的詩、交與伶長。耶和華阿、你已經向你的地施恩、救回被擄的雅各。

Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

你赦免了你百姓的罪孽、遮蓋了他們一切的過犯。細拉

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah

你收轉了所發的忿怒、和你猛烈的怒氣。

Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.

拯救我們的神阿、求你使我們回轉、叫你的惱恨向我們止息。

Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

你要向我們發怒到永遠麼、你要將你的怒氣延留到萬代麼．

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

你不再將我們救活、使你的百姓靠你歡喜麼。

Wilt thou not quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?

耶和華阿、求你使我們得見你的慈愛、又將你的救恩賜給我們。

Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation.

我要聽神耶和華所說的話．因爲他必應許將平安賜給他的百姓、他的聖民．他們卻不可再轉去妄行。

I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly.

他的救恩、誠然與敬畏他的人相近、叫榮耀住在我們的地上。

Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.

慈愛和誠實、彼此相遇．公義和平安、彼此相親．

Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

誠實從地而生、公義從天而現。

Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

耶和華必將好處賜給我們．我們的地、也要多出土產。

Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good; And our land shall yield its increase.

公義要行在他面前、叫他的腳蹤、成爲可走的路。

Righteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way [to walk in]. Psalm 86 A Prayer of David

大衞的祈禱。耶和華阿、求你側耳應允我、因我是困苦窮乏的。

Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me; For I am poor and needy.

求你保存我的性命．因我是虔誠人。我的神阿、求你拯救這倚靠你的僕人．

Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

主阿、求你憐憫我、因我終日求告你。

Be merciful unto me, O Lord; For unto thee do I cry all the day long.

主阿、求你使僕人心裏歡喜．因爲我的心仰望你。

Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

主阿、你本爲良善、樂意饒恕人、有豐盛的慈愛、賜給凡求告你的人。

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.

耶和華阿、求你留心聽我的禱告、垂聽我懇求的聲音。

Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.

我在患難之日要求告你．因爲你必應允我。

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me.

主阿、諸神之中沒有可比你的．你的作爲也無可比。

There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.

主阿、你所造的萬民、都要來敬拜你．他們也要榮耀你的名。

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify thy name.

因你爲大、且行奇妙的事．惟獨你是神。

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone.

耶和華阿、求你將你的道指教我．我要照你的眞理行．求你使我專心敬畏你的名。

Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name.

主我的神阿、我要一心稱讚你．我要榮耀你的名、直到永遠。

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify thy name for evermore.

因爲你向我發的慈愛是大的．你救了我的靈魂、免入極深的陰間。

For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

神阿、驕傲的人起來攻擊我、又有一黨強橫的人尋索我的命．他們沒有將你放在眼中。

O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them.

主阿、你是有憐憫有恩典的神、不輕易發怒、並有豐盛的慈愛和誠實。

But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

求你向我轉臉、憐恤我、將你的力量賜給僕人、救你婢女的兒子。

Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.

求你向我顯出恩待我的憑據、叫恨我的人看見、便羞愧、因爲你耶和華幫助我、安慰我。

Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me. Psalm 87 A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song.

第87章

可拉後裔的詩歌。耶和華所立的根基在聖山上。

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

他愛錫安的門、勝於愛雅各一切的住處。

Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

神的城阿、有榮耀的事乃指着你說的。細拉

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah

我要題起拉哈伯和巴比倫人是在認識我之中的、看哪、非利士、和推羅、並古實人、個個生在那裏。

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me: Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This one was born there.

論到錫安必說、這一個那一個都生在其中．而且至高者必親自堅立這城。

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; And the Most High himself will establish her.

當耶和華記錄萬民的時候、他要點出這一個生在那裏。細拉

Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples, This one was born there. Selah

歌唱的、跳舞的、都要說、我的泉源都在你裏面。

They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say], All my fountains are in thee. Psalm 88 A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.

第88章

可拉後裔的詩歌、就是以斯拉人希幔的訓誨詩、交與伶長、調用麻哈拉利暗俄。耶和華拯救我的神阿、我晝夜在你面前呼籲。

O Jehovah, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee.

願我的禱告達到你面前．求你側耳聽我的呼求．

Let my prayer enter into thy presence; Incline thine ear unto my cry.

因爲我心裏滿了患難、我的性命臨近陰間。

For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.

我算和下坑的人同列、如同無力的人一樣。〈無力或作沒有幫助〉

I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help,

我被丟在死人中、好像被殺的人、躺在墳墓裏．他們是你不再記念的、與你隔絕了。

Cast off among the dead, Like the slain that lie in the grave, Whom thou rememberest no more, And they are cut off from thy hand.

你把我放在極深的坑裏、在黑暗地方、在深處。

Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the deeps.

你的忿怒重壓我身．你用一切的波浪困住我。細拉

Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, And thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah

你把我所認識的隔在遠處、使我爲他們所憎惡．我被拘困、不得出來。

Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

我的眼睛、因困苦而乾癟。耶和華阿、我天天求告你、向你舉手。

Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee.

你豈要行奇事給死人看麼．難道陰魂還能起來稱讚你麼．細拉

Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? Shall they that are decreased arise and praise thee? Selah

豈能在墳墓裏述說你的慈愛麼．豈能在滅亡中述說你的信實麼．

Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in Destruction?

你的奇事、豈能在幽暗裏被知道麼．你的公義豈能在忘記之地被知道麼。

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

耶和華阿、我呼求你．我早晨的禱告要達到你面前。

But unto thee, O Jehovah, have I cried; And in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.

耶和華阿、你爲何丟棄我．爲何掩面不顧我。

Jehovah, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me?

我自幼受苦、幾乎死亡．我受你的驚恐、甚至慌張。

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

你的烈怒漫過我身．你的驚嚇、把我剪除。

Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.

這些終日如水環繞我、一齊都來圍困我。

They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together.

你把我的良朋密友隔在遠處、使我所認識的人、進入黑暗裏。

Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness. Psalm 89 Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.

第89章

以斯拉人以探的訓誨詩。我要歌唱耶和華的慈愛、直到永遠．我要用口將你的信實傳與萬代。

I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever: With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

因我曾說、你的慈悲、必建立到永遠．你的信實、必堅立在天上。

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.

我與我所揀選的人立了約、向我的僕人大衞起了誓．

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant:

我要建立你的後裔、直到永遠、要建立你的寶座、直到萬代。

Thy seed will I establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations. Selah

耶和華阿、諸天要稱讚你的奇事．在聖者的會中、要稱讚你的信實。

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah; Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

在天空誰能比耶和華呢．神的衆子中、誰能像耶和華呢。

For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,

他在聖者的會中、是大有威嚴的神、比一切在他四圍的更可畏懼。

A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, And to be feared above all them that are round about him?

耶和華萬軍之神阿、那一個大能者像你耶和華．你的信實、是在你的四圍。

O Jehovah God of hosts, Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

你管轄海的狂傲．波浪翻騰、你就使他平靜了。

Thou rulest the pride of the sea: When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

你打碎了拉哈伯似乎是已殺的人．你用有能的膀臂打散了你的仇敵。

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.

天屬你、地也屬你．世界和其中所充滿的、都爲你所建立。

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

南北爲你所創造．他泊和黑門都因你的名歡呼。

The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.

你有大能的膀臂．你的手有力、你的右手也高舉。

Thou hast a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

公義和公平、是你寶座的根基．慈愛和誠實、行在你前面。

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.

知道向你歡呼的、那民是有福的。耶和華阿、他們在你臉上的光裏行走。

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.

他們因你的名終日歡樂、因你的公義得以高舉。

In thy name do they rejoice all the day; And in thy righteousness are they exalted.

你是他們力量的榮耀．因爲你喜悅我們、我們的角必被高舉。

For thou art the glory of their strength; And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.

我們的盾牌屬耶和華．我們的王屬以色列的聖者。

For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah; And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

當時你在異象中曉諭你的聖民、說、我已把救助之力、加在那有能者的身上．我高舉那從民中所揀選的。

Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints, And saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

我尋得我的僕人大衞、用我的聖膏膏他。

I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him:

我的手必使他堅立．我的膀臂也必堅固他。

With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.

仇敵必不勒索他、凶惡之子、也不苦害他。

The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

我要在他面前打碎他的敵人、擊殺那恨他的人。

And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him.

只是我的信實、和我的慈愛、要與他同在．因我的名、他的角必被高舉。

But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him; And in my name shall his horn be exalted.

我要使他的左手伸到海上、右手伸到河上。

I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.

他要稱呼我說、你是我的父、是我的神、是拯救我的磐石。

He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.

我也要立他爲長子、爲世上最高的君王。

I also will make him [my] first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth.

我要爲他存留我的慈愛、直到永遠．我與他立的約、必要堅定。

My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore; And my covenant shall stand fast with him.

我也要使他的後裔、存到永遠、使他的寶座、如天之久。

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, And his throne as the days of heaven.

倘若他的子孫離棄我的律法、不照我的典章行．

If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;

背棄我的律例、不遵守我的誡命．

If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments;

我就要用杖責罰他們的過犯、用鞭責罰他們的罪孽。

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.

只是我必不將我的慈愛、全然收回、也必不叫我的信實廢棄。

But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

我必不背棄我的約、也不改變我口中所出的。

My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

我一次指着自己的聖潔起誓．我決不向大衞說謊。

Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David:

他的後裔要存到永遠、他的寶座在我面前、如日之恆一般．

His seed shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me.

又如月亮永遠堅立、如天上確實的見證。細拉

It shall be established for ever as the moon, And [as] the faithful witness in the sky. Selah

但你惱怒你的受膏者、就丟掉棄絕他。

But thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

你厭惡了與僕人所立的約、將他的冠冕踐踏於地。

Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: Thou hast profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.

你拆毀了他一切的籬笆．使他的保障、變爲荒塲。

Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.

凡過路的人、都搶奪他．他成爲鄰邦的羞辱。

All that pass by the way rob him: He is become a reproach to his neighbors.

你高舉了他敵人的右手．你叫他一切的仇敵歡喜。

Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

你叫他的刀劍捲刃、叫他在爭戰之中站立不住。

Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword, And hast not made him to stand in the battle.

你使他的光輝止息、將他的寶座推倒於地。

Thou hast made his brightness to cease, And cast his throne down to the ground.

你減少他青年的日子．又使他蒙羞。細拉

The days of his youth hast thou shortened: Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah

耶和華阿、這要到幾時呢．你要將自己隱藏到永遠麼．你的忿怒如火焚燒、要到幾時呢。

How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? [How long] shall thy wrath burn like fire?

求你想念我的時候是何等的短少．你創造世人、要使他們歸何等的虛空呢。細拉

Oh remember how short my time is: For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!

誰能常活免死、救他的靈魂脫離陰間的權柄呢。細拉

What man is he that shall live and not see death, That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

主阿、你從前憑你的信實向大衞立誓、要施行的慈愛在哪裏呢。

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?

主阿、求你記念僕人們所受的羞辱、記念我怎樣將一切強盛民的羞辱存在我懷裏。

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; How I do bear in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty peoples,

耶和華阿、你的仇敵、用這羞辱羞辱了你的僕人、羞辱了你受膏者的腳蹤。

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

耶和華是應當稱頌的、直到永遠。阿們、阿們。

Blessed be Jehovah for evermore. Amen, and Amen. BOOK IV Psalm 90 A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

第90章

神人摩西的祈禱。主阿、你世世代代作我們的居所。

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations.

諸山未曾生出、地與世界你未曾造成、從亙古到永遠、你是神。

Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

你使人歸於塵土、說、你們世人要歸回。

Thou turnest man to destruction, And sayest, Return, ye children of men.

在你看來、千年如已過的昨日、又如夜間的一更。

For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.

你叫他們如水沖去．他們如睡一覺．早晨、他們如生長的草．

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

早晨發芽生長、晚上割下枯乾。

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

我們因你的怒氣而消滅、因你的忿怒而驚惶。

For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.

你將我們的罪孽擺在你面前、將我們的隱惡擺在你面光之中。

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

我們經過的日子、都在你震怒之下．我們度盡的年歲、好像一聲歎息。

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

我們一生的年日是七十歲．若是強壯可到八十歲．但其中所矜誇的、不過是勞苦愁煩．轉眼成空、我們便如飛而去。

The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.

誰曉得你怒氣的權勢、誰按着你該受的敬畏曉得你的忿怒呢。

Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?

求你指教我們怎樣數算自己的日子、好叫我們得着智慧的心。

So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.

耶和華阿、我們要等到幾時呢．求你轉回、爲你的僕人後悔。

Return, O Jehovah; how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

求你使我們早早飽得你的慈愛、好叫我們一生一世歡呼喜樂。

Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

求你照着你使我們受苦的日子、和我們遭難的年歲、叫我們喜樂。

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, And the years wherein we have seen evil.

願你的作爲向你僕人顯現．願你的榮耀向他們子孫顯明。

Let thy work appear unto thy servants, And thy glory upon their children.

願主我們神的榮美、歸於我們身上．願你堅立我們手所作的工．我們手所作的工、願你堅立。

And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And establish thou the work of our hands upon us; Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. Psalm 91

第91章

住在至高者隱密處的、必住在全能者的蔭下。

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

我要論到耶和華說、他是我的避難所、是我的山寨、是我的神、是我所倚靠的。

I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.

他必救你脫離捕鳥人的網羅、和毒害的瘟疫。

For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.

他必用自己的翎毛遮蔽你．你要投靠在他的翅膀底下．他的誠實、是大小的盾牌。

He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.

你必不怕黑夜的驚駭、或是白日飛的箭．

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

也不怕黑夜行的瘟疫、或是午間滅人的毒病。

For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

雖有千人仆倒在你旁邊、萬人仆倒在你右邊、這災卻不得臨近你。

A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; [But] it shall not come nigh thee.

你惟親眼觀看、見惡人遭報。

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.

耶和華是我的避難所．你已將至高者當你的居所．

For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;

禍患必不臨到你、災害也不挨近你的帳棚。

There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

因他要爲你吩咐他的使者、在你行的一切道路上保護你。

For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.

他們要用手托着你、免得你的腳碰在石頭上。

They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

你要踹在獅子和虺蛇的身上、踐踏少壯獅子和大蛇。

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.

神說、因爲他專心愛我、我就要搭救他．因爲他知道我的名、我要把他安置在高處。

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

他若求告我、我就應允他．他在急難中、我要與他同在．我要搭救他、使他尊貴。

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.

我要使他足享長壽、將我的救恩顯明給他。

With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation. Psalm 92 A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day.

第92章

安息日的詩歌。稱謝耶和華、歌頌你至高者的名。

It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;

用十絃的樂器和瑟、用琴彈幽雅的聲音、早晨傳揚你的慈愛、每夜傳揚你的信實、這本爲美事。

To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,

用十絃的樂器和瑟、用琴彈幽雅的聲音、早晨傳揚你的慈愛、每夜傳揚你的信實、這本爲美事。

With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp.

因你耶和華藉着你的作爲叫我高興．我要因你手的工作歡呼。

For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

耶和華阿、你的工作何其大、你的心思極其深。

How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.

畜類人不曉得、愚頑人也不明白。

A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:

惡人茂盛如草、一切作孽之人發旺的時候、正是他們要滅亡、直到永遠。

When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

惟你耶和華是至高、直到永遠。

But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

耶和華阿、你的仇敵都要滅亡、一切作孽的也要離散。

For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

你卻高舉了我的角、如野牛的角．我是被新油膏了的。

But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.

我眼睛看見仇敵遭報、我耳朶聽見那些起來攻擊我的惡人受罰。

Mine eye also hath seen [my desire] on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard [my desire] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

義人要發旺如棕樹、生長如利巴嫩的香柏樹。

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

他們栽於耶和華的殿中、發旺在我們神的院裏。

They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

他們年老的時候、仍要結果子．要滿了汁漿而常發青。

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:

好顯明耶和華是正直的、他是我的磐石、在他毫無不義。

To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Psalm 93

第93章

耶和華作王．他以威嚴爲衣穿上．耶和華以能力爲衣、以能力束腰．世界就堅定、不得動搖。

Jehovah reigneth; he is clothed with majesty; Jehovah is clothed with strength; he hath girded himself therewith: The world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

你的寶座從太初立定．你從亙古就有。

Thy throne is established of old: Thou art from everlasting.

耶和華阿、大水揚起、大水發聲、波浪澎湃。

The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves.

耶和華在高處大有能力、勝過諸水的響聲、洋海的大浪。

Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, Jehovah on high is mighty.

耶和華阿、你的法度最的確．你的殿永稱爲聖、是合宜的。

Thy testimonies are very sure: Holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for evermore. Psalm 94

第94章

耶和華阿、你是伸寃的神．伸寃的神阿、求你發出光來。

O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

審判世界的主阿、求你挺身而立、使驕傲人受應得的報應。

Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proud [their] desert.

耶和華阿、惡人誇勝要到幾時呢、要到幾時呢。

Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?

他們絮絮叨叨、說傲慢的話．一切作孽的人、都自己誇張。

They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.

耶和華阿、他們強壓你的百姓、苦害你的產業。

They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage.

他們殺死寡婦和寄居的、又殺害孤兒。

They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless.

他們說、耶和華必不看見、雅各的神必不思念。

And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider.

你們民間的畜類人當思想．你們愚頑人、到幾時纔有智慧呢．

Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?

造耳朶的、難道自己不聽見麼．造眼睛的、難道自己不看見麼．

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?

管教列邦的、就是叫人得知識的、難道自己不懲治人麼。

He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, [Even] he that teacheth man knowledge?

耶和華知道人的意念是虛妄的。

Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.

耶和華阿、你所管教、用律法所教訓的人、是有福的。

Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;

你使他在遭難的日子、得享平安．惟有惡人陷在所挖的坑中。

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked.

因爲耶和華必不丟棄他的百姓、也不離棄他的產業。

For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance.

審判要轉向公義．心裏正直的、必都隨從。

For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

誰肯爲我起來攻擊作惡的．誰肯爲我站起抵擋作孽的。

Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

若不是耶和華幫助我、我就住在寂靜之中了。

Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.

我正說我失了腳、耶和華阿、那時你的慈愛扶助我。

When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.

我心裏多憂多疑、你安慰我、就使我歡樂。

In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.

那藉着律例架弄殘害、在位上行奸惡的、豈能與你相交麼。

Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?

他們大家聚集攻擊義人、將無辜的人定爲死罪。

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood.

但耶和華向來作了我的高臺．我的神作了我投靠的磐石。

But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.

他叫他們的罪孽歸到他們身上．他們正在行惡之中、他要剪除他們．耶和華我們的神要把他們剪除。

And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness; Jehovah our God will cut them off. Psalm 95

第95章

來阿、我們要向耶和華歌唱、向拯救我們的磐石歡呼。

Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah; Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

我們要來感謝他、用詩歌向他歡呼。

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

因耶和華爲大神、爲大王、超乎萬神之上。

For Jehovah is a great God, And a great King above all gods.

地的深處在他手中．山的高峯也屬他。

In his hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the mountains are his also.

海洋屬他。是他造的．旱地也是他手造成的。

The sea is his, and he made it; And his hands formed the dry land.

來阿、我們要屈身敬拜、在造我們的耶和華面前跪下。

Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker:

因爲他是我們的神．我們是他草塲的羊、是他手下的民。惟願你們今天聽他的話。

For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice!

你們不可硬着心、像當日在米利巴、就是在曠野的瑪撒。

Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;

那時你們的祖宗試我探我、並且觀看我的作爲。

When your fathers tempted me, Proved me, and saw my work.

四十年之久、我厭煩那世代、說、這是心裏迷糊的百姓、竟不曉得我的作爲．

Forty years long was I grieved with [that] generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, And they have not known my ways:

所以我在怒中起誓、說、他們斷不可進入我的安息。

Wherefore I sware in my wrath, That they should not enter into my rest. Psalm 96

第96章

你們要向耶和華唱新歌．全地都要向耶和華歌唱。

Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song: Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

要向耶和華歌唱、稱頌他的名、天天傳揚他的救恩．

Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; Show forth his salvation from day to day.

在列邦中述說他的榮耀、在萬民中述說他的奇事。

Declare his glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

因耶和華爲大、當受極大的讚美．他在萬神之上當受敬畏。

For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gods.

外邦的神都屬虛無．惟獨耶和華創造諸天。

For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.

有尊榮和威嚴在他面前．有能力與華美在他聖所。

Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

民中的萬族阿、你們要將榮耀能力歸給耶和華、都歸給耶和華．

Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.

要將耶和華的名所當得的榮耀歸給他、拿供物來進入他的院宇。

Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

當以聖潔的妝飾、〈的或作爲〉敬拜耶和華．全地要在他面前戰抖。

Oh worship Jehovah in holy array: Tremble before him, all the earth.

人在列邦中要說、耶和華作王、世界就堅定、不得動搖．他要按公正審判衆民。

Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved: He will judge the peoples with equity.

願天歡喜、願地快樂．願海和其中所充滿的澎湃．

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

願田和其中所有的都歡樂．那時、林中的樹木、都要在耶和華面前歡呼．

Let the field exult, and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy

因爲他來了．他來要審判全地．他要按公義審判世界、按他的信實審判萬民。

Before Jehovah; for he cometh, For he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with his truth. Psalm 97

第97章

耶和華作王．願地快樂、願衆海島歡喜。

Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad.

密雲和幽暗、在他的四圍．公義和公平、是他寶座的根基。

Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

有烈火在他前頭行、燒滅他四圍的敵人。

A fire goeth before him, And burneth up his adversaries round about.

他的閃電光照世界．大地看見便震動。

His lightnings lightened the world: The earth saw, and trembled.

諸山見耶和華的面、就是全地之主的面、便消化如蠟。

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

諸天表明他的公義、萬民看見他的榮耀。

The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory.

願一切事奉雕刻的偶像、靠虛無之神自誇的、都蒙羞愧。萬神哪、你們都當拜他。

Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images, That boast themselves of idols: Worship him, all ye gods.

耶和華阿、錫安聽見你的判斷、就歡喜、猶大的城邑、〈原文作女子〉也都快樂。

Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

因爲你耶和華至高．超乎全地．你被尊崇、遠超萬神之上。

For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all gods.

你們愛耶和華的、都當恨惡罪惡．他保護聖民的性命、搭救他們脫離惡人的手。

O ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

散布亮光是爲義人．豫備喜樂、是爲正直人。

Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.

你們義人當靠耶和華歡喜、稱謝他可記念的聖名。

Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous; And give thanks to his holy memorial [name]. Psalm 98 A Psalm.

第98章

一篇詩。你們要向耶和華唱新歌．因爲他行過奇妙的事．他的右手和聖臂、施行救恩。

Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song; For he hath done marvellous things: His right hand, and his holy arm, hath wrought salvation for him.

耶和華發明了他的救恩、在列邦人眼前顯出公義．

Jehovah hath made known his salvation: His righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the nations.

記念他向以色列家所發的慈愛、所憑的信實．地的四極、都看見我們神的救恩。

He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

全地都要向耶和華歡樂．要發起大聲、歡呼歌頌。

Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all the earth: Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.

願大水拍手．願諸山在耶和華面前一同歡呼．

Let the floods clap their hands; Let the hills sing for joy together

因爲他來、要審判徧地．他要按公義審判世界、按公正審判萬民。

Before Jehovah; for he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity. Psalm 99

第99章

耶和華作王、萬民當戰抖．他坐在二基路伯上、地當動搖。

Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble: He sitteth [above] the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

耶和華在錫安爲大．他超乎萬民之上。

在他的祭司中有摩西和亞倫、在求告他名的人中有撒母耳、他們求告耶和華、他就應允他們。

Moses and Aaron among his priests, And Samuel among them that call upon his name; They called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.

他在雲柱中對他們說話．他們遵守他的法度、和他所賜給他們的律例。

He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud: They kept his testimonies, And the statute that he gave them.

困苦人發昏的時候、在耶和華面前吐露苦情的禱告。耶和華阿、求你聽我的禱告、容我的呼求達到你面前。

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee.

我在急難的日子、求你向我側耳、不要向我掩面．我呼求的日子、求你快快應允我。

Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress: Incline thine ear unto me; In the day when I call answer me speedily.

因爲我的年日、如煙雲消滅、我的骨頭、如火把燒着。

For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.

我的心被傷、如草枯乾、甚至我忘記喫飯。

My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread.

因我唉哼的聲音、我的肉緊貼骨頭。

By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.

我如同曠野的鵜鶘．我好像荒塲的鴞鳥。

I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.

我儆醒不睡．我像房頂上孤單的麻雀。

I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.

我的仇敵終日辱罵我．向我猖狂的人、指着我賭咒。

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.

我喫過爐灰、如同喫飯．我所喝的與眼淚攙雜．

For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,

這都因你的惱恨和忿怒．你把我拾起來、又把我摔下去。

Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.

我的年日、如日影偏斜．我也如草枯乾。

My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.

惟你耶和華必存到永遠．你可記念的名、也存到萬代。

But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial [name] unto all generations.

你必起來憐恤錫安、因現在是可憐他的時候．日期已經到了。

Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come.

你的僕人原來喜悅他的石頭、可憐他的塵土。

For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And have pity upon her dust.

列國要敬畏耶和華的名．世上諸王都敬畏你的榮耀。

So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.

因爲耶和華建造了錫安、在他榮耀裏顯現。

For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.

他垂聽窮人的禱告、並不藐視他們的祈求。

He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer.

這必爲後代的人記下．將來受造的民、要讚美耶和華。

This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.

因爲他從至高的聖所垂看．耶和華從天向地觀察．

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;

要垂聽被囚之人的歎息．要釋放將要死的人．

To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;

使人在錫安傳揚耶和華的名、在耶路撒冷傳揚讚美他的話．

That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;

就是在萬民和列國聚會事奉耶和華的時候。

When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.

他使我的力量、中道衰弱、使我的年日短少。

He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.

我說、我的神阿、不要使我中年去世．你的年數、世世無窮。

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.

你起初立了地的根基．天也是你手所造的。

Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

天地都要滅沒、你卻要長存．天地都要如外衣漸漸舊了．你要將天地如裏衣更換、天地就都改變了．

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

惟有你永不改變．你的年數沒有窮盡。

But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.

你僕人的子孫要長存．他們的後裔、要堅立在你面前。

The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee. Psalm 103 [A Psalm] of David.

第103章

大衞的詩。我的心哪、你要稱頌耶和華．凡在我裏面的、也要稱頌他的聖名。

Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, [bless] his holy name.

我的心哪、你要稱頌耶和華、不可忘記他的一切恩惠。

Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:

他赦免你的一切罪孽、醫治你的一切疾病。

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;

他救贖你的命脫離死亡、以仁愛和慈悲爲你的冠冕。

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

他用美物、使你所願的得以知足、以致你如鷹反老還童。

Who satisfieth thy desire with good things, [So that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

耶和華施行公義、爲一切受屈的人伸寃。

Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.

他使摩西知道他的法則、叫以色列人曉得他的作爲。

He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.

耶和華有憐憫、有恩典、不輕易發怒、且有豐盛的慈愛。

Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.

他不長久責備、也不永遠懷怒。

He will not always chide; Neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.

他沒有按我們的罪過待我們、也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。

He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.

天離地何等的高、他的慈愛向敬畏他的人、也是何等的大。

For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.

東離西有多遠、他叫我們的過犯、離我們也有多遠。

As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

父親怎樣憐恤他的兒女、耶和華也怎樣憐恤敬畏他的人。

Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

因爲他知道我們的本體、思念我們不過是塵土。

For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

至於世人、他的年日如草一樣．他發旺如野地的花。

As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

經風一吹、便歸無有．他的原處、也不再認識他。

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.

但耶和華的慈愛、歸於敬畏他的人、從亙古到永遠．他的公義、也歸於子子孫孫．

But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children`s children;

就是那些遵守他的約、記念他的訓詞而遵行的人。

To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.

耶和華在天上立定寶座．他的權柄〈原文作國〉統管萬有。

Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.

聽從他命令成全他旨意有大能的天使、都要稱頌耶和華。

Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.

你們作他的諸軍作他的僕役行他所喜悅的、都要稱頌耶和華。

Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

你們一切被他造的、在他所治理的各處、都要稱頌耶和華．我的心哪、你要稱頌耶和華。

Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Psalm 104

第104章

我的心哪、你要稱頌耶和華。耶和華我的神阿、你爲至大．你以尊榮威嚴爲衣服．

Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:

披上亮光、如披外袍．鋪張穹蒼、如鋪幔子．

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

在水中立樓閣的棟梁、用雲彩爲車輦、藉着風的翅膀而行．

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;

以風爲使者、以火燄爲僕役．

Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers;

將地立在根基上、使地永不動搖。

Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever.

你用深水遮蓋地面、猶如衣裳．諸水高過山嶺。

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.

你的斥責一發、水便奔逃．你的雷聲一發、水便奔流。

At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away

（諸山升上、諸谷沉下。〈或作隨山上翻隨谷下流〉）歸你爲他所安定之地。

(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

你定了界限、使水不能過去、不再轉回遮蓋地面。

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.

耶和華使泉源湧在山谷、流在山間．

He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;

使野地的走獸有水喝．野驢得解其渴。

They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild asses quench their thirst.

天上的飛鳥在水旁住宿、在樹枝上啼叫。

By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.

他從樓閣中澆灌山嶺．因他作爲的功效、地就豐足。

He watereth the mountains from his chambers: The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.

他使草生長、給六畜喫．使菜蔬發長、供給人用．使人從地裏能得食物．

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth,

又得酒能悅人心、得油能潤人面、得糧能養人心。

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, [And] oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man`s heart.

佳美的樹木、就是利巴嫩的香柏樹、是耶和華所栽種的、都滿了汁漿。

The trees of Jehovah are filled [with moisture], The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

雀鳥在其上搭窩。至於鶴、松樹是他的房屋。

Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

高山爲野山羊的住所．巖石爲沙番的藏處。

The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

你安置月亮爲定節令．日頭自知沉落。

He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down.

你造黑暗爲夜、林中的百獸就都爬出來。

Thou makest darkness, and it is night, Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

少壯獅子吼叫、要抓食、向神尋求食物。

The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.

日頭一出、獸便躱避、臥在洞裏。

The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens.

人出去作工、勞碌直到晚上。

Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening.

耶和華阿、你所造的何其多、都是你用智慧造成的．徧地滿了你的豐富。

O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: The earth is full of thy riches.

那裏有海、又大又廣．其中有無數的動物．大小活物都有。

Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts.

那裏有船行走．有你所造的鱷魚、游泳在其中。

There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.

這都仰望你按時給他食物。

These wait all for thee, That thou mayest give them their food in due season.

你給他們、他們便拾起來．你張手、他們飽得美食。

Thou givest unto them, they gather; Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

你掩面、他們便驚惶．你收回他們的氣、他們就死亡歸於塵土。

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust.

你發出你的靈、他們便受造．你使地面更換爲新。

Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground.

願耶和華的榮耀存到永遠．願耶和華喜悅自己所造的。

Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever; Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:

他看地、地便震動．他摸山、山就冒煙。

Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

我要一生向耶和華唱詩．我還活的時候、要向我神歌頌。

I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

願他以我的默念爲甘甜．我要因耶和華歡喜。

Let thy meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah.

願罪人從世上消滅．願惡人歸於無有。我的心哪、要稱頌耶和華。你們要讚美耶和華。〈原文作哈利路亞下同〉

Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. And let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 105

第105章

你們要稱謝耶和華、求告他的名、在萬民中傳揚他的作爲。

Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings.

要向他唱詩歌頌、談論他一切奇妙的作爲。

Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvelous works.

要以他的聖名誇耀．尋求耶和華的人、心中應當歡喜。

Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

要尋求耶和華與他的能力、時常尋求他的面。

Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.

他僕人亞伯拉罕的後裔、他所揀選雅各的子孫哪、你們要記念他奇妙的作爲、和他的奇事、並他口中的判語。

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

他僕人亞伯拉罕的後裔、他所揀選雅各的子孫哪、你們要記念他奇妙的作爲、和他的奇事、並他口中的判語。

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

他是耶和華我們的神．全地都有他的判斷。

He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.

他記念他的約、直到永遠、他所吩咐的話、直到千代、

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

就是與亞伯拉罕所立的約、向以撒所起的誓。

[The covenant] which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,

他又將這約向雅各定爲律例、向以色列定爲永遠的約、

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

說、我必將迦南地賜給你、作你產業的分。

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;

當時他們人丁有限、數目稀少、並且在那地爲寄居的。

When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.

他們從這邦遊到那邦、從這國行到那國．

And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.

他不容甚麼人欺負他們、爲他們的緣故、責備君王、

He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

說、不可難爲我受膏的人、也不可惡待我的先知。

[Saying], Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.

他命饑荒降在那地上、將所倚靠的糧食、全行斷絕。

And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.

在他們以先打發一個人去．約瑟被賣爲奴僕。

He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:

人用腳鐐傷他的腳．他被鐵鍊捆拘。

His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in [chains of] iron,

耶和華的話試煉他、直等到他所說的應驗了。

Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.

王打發人把他解開、就是治理衆民的、把他釋放．

The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

立他作王家之主、掌管他一切所有的．

He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance;

使他隨意捆綁他的臣宰、將智慧教導他的長老。

To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.

以色列也到了埃及、雅各在含地寄居。

Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

耶和華使他的百姓生養衆多、使他們比敵人強盛．

And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.

使敵人的心轉去恨他的百姓、並用詭計待他的僕人。

He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.

他打發他的僕人摩西、和他所揀選的亞倫。

He sent Moses his servant, [And] Aaron whom he had chosen.

在敵人中間顯他的神蹟在含地顯他的奇事。

They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.

他命黑暗、就有黑暗．沒有違背他話的。

He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words.

他叫埃及的水變爲血、叫他們的魚死了。

He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish.

在他們的地上、以及王宮的內室、青蛙多多滋生。

Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings.

他說一聲、蒼蠅就成羣而來、並有虱子進入他們四境。

He spake, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their borders.

他給他們降下冰雹爲雨、在他們的地上降下火燄。

He gave them hail for rain, [And] flaming fire in their land.

他也擊打他們的葡萄樹、和無花果樹、毀壞他們境內的樹木。

He smote their vines also and their fig-trees, And brake the trees of their borders.

他說一聲、就有蝗蟲螞蚱上來、不計其數、

He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,

喫盡了他們地上各樣的菜蔬、和田地的出產。

And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.

他又擊殺他們國內一切的長子、就是他們強壯時頭生的。

He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength.

他領自己的百姓帶銀子金子出來．他支派中沒有一個輭弱的。

And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.

他們出來的時候、埃及人便歡喜．原來埃及人懼怕他們。

Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

他鋪張雲彩當遮蓋、夜間使火光照。

He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.

他們一求、他就使鵪鶉飛來、並用天上的糧食、叫他們飽足。

They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

他打開磐石、水就湧出．在乾旱之處、水流成河。

He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places [like] a river.

這都因他記念他的聖言、和他的僕人亞伯拉罕。

For he remembered his holy word, [And] Abraham his servant.

他帶領百姓歡樂而出、帶領選民歡呼前往。

And he brought forth his people with joy, [And] his chosen with singing.

他將列國的地賜給他們、他們便承受衆民勞碌得來的。

And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:

好使他們遵他的律例、守他的律法。你們要讚美耶和華。

That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 106

第106章

你們要讚美耶和華．要稱謝耶和華、因他本爲善．他的慈愛永遠長存。

Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] forever.

誰能傳說耶和華的大能、誰能表明他一切的美德。

Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?

凡遵守公平、常行公義的、這人便爲有福。

Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.

耶和華阿、你用恩惠待你的百姓、求你也用這恩惠記念我、開你的救恩眷顧我、

Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation,

使我見你選民的福、樂你國民的樂、與你的產業一同誇耀。

That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine inheritance.

我們與我們的祖宗一同犯罪．我們作了孽、行了惡。

We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

我們的祖宗在埃及不明白你的奇事、不記念你豐盛的慈愛、反倒在紅海行了悖逆。

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

然而他因自己的名拯救他們、爲要彰顯他的大能．

Nevertheless he saved them for his name`s sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known.

並且斥責紅海、海便乾了．他帶領他們經過深處、如同經過曠野。

He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

他拯救他們脫離恨他們人的手、從仇敵手中救贖他們。

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

水淹沒他們的敵人、沒有一個存留。

And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.

那時他們纔信了他的話、歌唱讚美他。

Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.

等不多時、他們就忘了他的作爲、不仰望他的指教、

They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,

反倒在曠野大起慾心、在荒地試探神。

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.

他將他們所求的賜給他們、卻使他們的心靈輭弱。

And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.

他們又在營中嫉妒摩西、和耶和華的聖者亞倫。

They envied Moses also in the camp, [And] Aaron the saint of Jehovah.

地裂開吞下大坍、掩蓋亞比蘭一黨的人。

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.

有火在他們的黨中發起、有火燄燒燬了惡人。

And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.

他們在何烈山造了牛犢叩拜鑄成的像。

They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.

如此將他們榮耀的主、換爲喫草之牛的像．

Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

忘了神他們的救主．他曾在埃及行大事、

They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,

在含地行奇事、在紅海行可畏的事。

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [And] terrible things by the Red Sea.

所以他說要滅絕他們．若非有他所揀選的摩西站在當中、〈原文作破口〉使他的忿怒轉消、恐怕他就滅絕他們。

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them].

他們又藐視那美地、不信他的話、

Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,

在自己帳棚內發怨言、不聽耶和華的聲音。

But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

所以他對他們起誓、必叫他們倒在曠野、

Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

叫他們的後裔倒在列國之中、分散在各地。

And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

他們又與巴力毘珥連合、且喫了祭死神〈或作人〉的物。

They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

他們這樣行、惹耶和華發怒、便有瘟疫流行在他們中間。

Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.

那時非尼哈站起、刑罰惡人．瘟疫這纔止息。

Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.

那就算爲他的義、世世代代直到永遠。

And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.

他們在米利巴水又叫耶和華發怒、甚至摩西也受了虧損．

They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;

是因他們惹動他的靈．摩西〈原文作他〉用嘴說了急躁的話。

Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

他們不照耶和華所吩咐的滅絕外邦人、

They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,

反與他們混雜相合、學習他們的行爲、

But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,

事奉他們的偶像．這就成了自己的網羅。

And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.

把自己的兒女祭祀鬼魔、

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

流無辜人的血、就是自己兒女的血、把他們祭祀迦南的偶像．那地就被血汚穢了。

And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

這樣他們被自己所作的汚穢了、在行爲上犯了邪淫。

Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.

所以耶和華的怒氣、向他的百姓發作、憎惡他的產業。

Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.

將他們交在外邦人的手裏．恨他們的人就轄制他們。

And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.

他們的仇敵也欺壓他們、他們就伏在敵人手下。

Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

他屢次搭救他們、他們卻設謀背逆．因自己的罪孽降爲卑下。

Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.

然而他聽見他們哀告的時候、就眷顧他們的急難．

Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:

爲他們記念他的約、照他豐盛的慈愛後悔。

And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

他也使他們在凡擄掠他們的人面前蒙憐恤。

He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.

耶和華我們的神阿、求你拯救我們、從外邦中招聚我們、我們好稱讚你的聖名、以讚美你爲誇勝。

Save us, O Jehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise.

耶和華以色列的神、是應當稱頌的、從亙古直到永遠。願衆民都說、阿們。你們要讚美耶和華。

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah. BOOK V Psalm 107

第107章

你們要稱謝耶和華、因他本爲善．他的慈愛、永遠長存。

O give thanks unto Jehovah; For he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.

願耶和華的贖民說這話、就是他從敵人手中所救贖的、

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say [so], Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

從各地、從東從西、從南從北、所招聚來的。

And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.

他們在曠野荒地漂流、尋不見可住的城邑．

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.

又饑又渴、心裏發昏。

Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.

於是他們在苦難中哀求耶和華、他從他們的禍患中搭救他們．

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,

又領他們行走直路、使他們往可居住的城邑。

He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.

但願人因耶和華的慈愛、和他向人所行的奇事、都稱讚他。

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

因他使心裏渴慕的人、得以知足、使心裏飢餓的人、得飽美物。

For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.

那些坐在黑暗中死蔭裏的人、被困苦和鐵鍊捆鎖、

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

是因他們違背神的話語、藐視至高者的旨意。

Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High:

所以他用勞苦治服他們的心．他們仆倒、無人扶助。

Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.

於是他們在苦難中哀求耶和華、他從他們的禍患中拯救他們。

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.

他從黑暗中、和死蔭裏、領他們出來、折斷他們的綁索。

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bonds in sunder.

但願人因耶和華的慈愛、和他向人所行的奇事、都稱讚他。

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

因爲他打破了銅門、砍斷了鐵閂。

For he hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder.

愚妄人因自己的過犯、和自己的罪孽、便受苦楚。

Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

他們心裏厭惡各樣的食物、就臨近死門。

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.

於是他們在苦難中哀求耶和華、他從他們的禍患中、拯救他們。

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses.

他發命醫治他們、救他們脫離死亡。

He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth [them] from their destructions.

但願人因耶和華的慈愛、和他向人所行的奇事、都稱讚他。

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

願他們以感謝爲祭獻給他、歡呼述說他的作爲。

And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.

在海上坐船、在大水中經理事務的．

They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters;

他們看見耶和華的作爲、並他在深水中的奇事。

These see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep.

因他一吩咐、狂風就起來、海中的波浪也揚起．

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof.

他們上到天空、下到海底、他們的心因患難便消化。

They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble.

他們搖搖幌幌、東倒西歪、好像醉酒的人．他們的智慧無法可施。

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits` end.

於是他們在苦難中哀求耶和華、他從他們的禍患中領出他們來。

Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses.

他使狂風止息、波浪就平靜。

He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still.

風息浪靜．他們便歡喜．他就引他們到所願去的海口。

Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

但願人因耶和華的慈愛、和他向人所行的奇事、都稱讚他。

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

願他們在民的會中尊崇他、在長老的位上讚美他。

Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.

他使江河變爲曠野、叫水泉變爲乾渴之地．

He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;

使肥地變爲鹼地．這都因其間居民的罪惡。

A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

他使曠野變爲水潭、叫旱地變爲水泉。

He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings.

他使飢餓的人住在那裏、好建造可住的城邑．

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation,

又種田地、栽葡萄園、得享所出的土產。

And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase.

他又賜福給他們、叫他們生養衆多．也不叫他們的牲畜減少。

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

他們又因暴虐、患難、愁苦、就減少且卑下。

Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.

他使君王蒙羞被辱、使他們在荒廢無路之地漂流。

He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.

他卻將窮乏人安置在高處、脫離苦難、使他的家屬多如羊羣。

Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh [him] families like a flock.

正直人看見、就歡喜．罪孽之輩、必塞口無言。

The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

凡有智慧的、必在這些事上留心．也必思想耶和華的慈愛。

Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah. Psalm 108 A Song, A Psalm of David.

第108章

大衞的詩歌。神阿、我心堅定．我口〈原文作榮耀〉要唱詩歌頌。

My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

琴瑟阿、你們當醒起．我自己要極早醒起。

Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.

耶和華阿、我要在萬民中稱謝你、在列邦中歌頌你。

I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

因爲你的慈愛大過諸天．你的誠實達到穹蒼。

For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies.

神阿、願你崇高、過於諸天．願你的榮耀、高過全地。

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth.

求你應允我們、用右手拯救我們、好叫你所親愛的人得救。

That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.

神已經指着他的聖潔說、〈說或作應許我〉我要歡樂．我要分開示劍、丈量疎割谷。

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

基列是我的．瑪拿西是我的．以法蓮是護衞我頭的．猶大是我的杖．

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

摩押是我的沐浴盆．我要向以東拋鞋．我必因勝非利士呼喊。

Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout.

誰能領我進堅固城．誰能引我到以東地。

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

神阿、你不是丟棄了我們麼．神阿、你不和我們的軍兵同去麼。

Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

求你幫助我們攻擊敵人、因爲人的幫助是枉然的。

Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.

我們倚靠神、纔得施展大能、因爲踐踏我們敵人的就是他。

Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries. Psalm 109 For the Chief Musicion. A Psalm of David.

第109章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。我所讚美的神阿、求你不要閉口不言．

Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

因爲惡人的嘴、和詭詐人的口、已經張開攻擊我．他們用撒謊的舌頭對我說話。

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.

他們圍繞我、說怨恨的話、又無故的攻打我。

They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.

他們與我爲敵以報我愛．但我專心祈禱。

For my love they are my adversaries: But I [give myself unto] prayer.

他們向我以惡報善、以恨報愛。

And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

願你派一個惡人轄制他、派一個對頭站在他右邊。

Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand.

他受審判的時候、願他出來擔當罪名．願他的祈禱、反成爲罪。

When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.

願他的年日短少．願別人得他的職分。

Let his days be few; [And] let another take his office.

願他的兒女爲孤兒、他的妻子爲寡婦。

Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.

願他的兒女漂流討飯、從他們荒涼之處出來求食。

Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; And let them seek [their bread] out of their desolate places.

願強暴的債主牢籠他一切所有的．願外人搶他勞碌得來的。

Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; And let strangers make spoil of his labor.

願無人向他延綿施恩．願無人可憐他的孤兒。

Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.

願他的後人斷絕、名字被塗抹、不傳於下代。

Let his posterity be cut off; In the generation following let their name be blotted out.

願他祖宗的罪孽被耶和華記念．願他母親的罪過不被塗抹。

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

願這些罪常在耶和華面前、使他的名號斷絕於世．

Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

因爲他不想施恩、卻逼迫困苦窮乏的、和傷心的人、要把他們治死。

Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay [them].

他愛咒罵、咒罵就臨到他．他不喜愛福樂、福樂就與他遠離。

Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.

他拿咒罵當衣服穿上．這咒罵就如水進他裏面、像油入他的骨頭。

He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.

願這咒罵當他遮身的衣服、當他常束的腰帶。

Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

這就是我對頭、和用惡言議論我的人、從耶和華那裏所受的報應。

This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.

主耶和華阿、求你爲你的名恩待我．因你的慈愛美好、求你搭救我．

But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name`s sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;

因爲我困苦窮乏、內心受傷。

For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.

我如日影漸漸偏斜而去．我如蝗蟲被抖出來。

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

我因禁食、膝骨輭弱．我身上的肉、也漸漸瘦了。

My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness.

我受他們的羞辱．他們看見我、便搖頭。

I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.

耶和華我的神阿、求你幫助我、照你的慈愛拯救我．

Help me, O Jehovah my God; Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:

使他們知道這是你的手、是你耶和華所行的事。

That they may know that this is thy hand; [That] thou, Jehovah, hast done it.

任憑他們咒罵．惟願你賜福．他們幾時起來、就必蒙羞．你的僕人卻要歡喜。

Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.

願我的對頭、披戴羞辱．願他們以自己的羞愧爲外袍遮身。

Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

我要用口極力稱謝耶和華．我要在衆人中間讚美他。

I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

因爲他必站在窮乏人的右邊、要救他脫離審判他靈魂的人。

For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul. Psalm 110 A Psalm of David.

第110章

大衞的詩。耶和華對我主說、你坐在我的右邊、等我使你仇敵作你的腳凳。

Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

耶和華必使你從錫安伸出能力的杖來．你要在你仇敵中掌權。

Jehovah will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

當你掌權的日子、〈或作行軍的日子〉你的民要以聖潔的妝飾爲衣、〈或作以聖潔爲妝飾〉甘心犧牲自己．你的民多如清晨的甘露。〈或作你少年時光耀如清晨的甘露〉

Thy people offer themselves willingly In the day of thy power, in holy array: Out of the womb of the morning Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

耶和華起了誓、決不後悔、說、你是照着麥基洗德的等次、永遠爲祭司。

Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.

在你右邊的主、當他發怒的日子、必打傷列王。

The Lord at thy right hand Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

他要在列邦中刑罰惡人、屍首就徧滿各處．他要在許多國中打破仇敵的頭。

He will judge among the nations, He will fill [the places] with dead bodies; He will strike through the head in many countries.

他要喝路旁的河水．因此必抬起頭來。

He will drink of the brook in the way: Therefore will he lift up the head. Psalm 111

第111章

你們要讚美耶和華。我要在正直人的大會中、並公會中、一心稱謝耶和華。

Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

耶和華的作爲本爲大．凡喜愛的都必考察。

The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

他所行的是尊榮、和威嚴。他的公義存到永遠。

His work is honor and majesty; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

他行了奇事、使人記念．耶和華有恩惠、有憐憫。

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

他賜糧食給敬畏他的人．他必永遠記念他的約。

He hath given food unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

他向百姓顯出大能的作爲、把外邦的地賜給他們爲業。

He hath showed his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.

他手所行的、是誠實公平．他的訓詞都是確實的．

The works of his hands are truth and justice; All his precepts are sure.

是永永遠遠堅定的．是按誠實正直設立的。

They are established for ever and ever; They are done in truth and uprightness.

他向百姓施行救贖、命定他的約、直到永遠．他的名聖而可畏。

He hath sent redemption unto his people; He hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend is his name.

敬畏耶和華是智慧的開端．凡遵行他命令的、是聰明人．耶和華是永遠當讚美的。

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: His praise endureth for ever. Psalm 112

第112章

你們要讚美耶和華。敬畏耶和華、甚喜愛他命令的、這人便爲有福。

Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments.

他的後裔在世必強盛．正直人的後代、必要蒙福。

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

他家中有貨物、有錢財．他的公義、存到永遠。

Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

正直人在黑暗中、有光向他發現．他有恩惠、有憐憫、有公義。

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [He is] gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

施恩與人、借貸與人的、這人事情順利．他被審判的時候、要訴明自己的寃。

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

他永不動搖．義人被記念直到永遠。

For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

他必不怕凶惡的信息．他心堅定、倚靠耶和華。

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor.

惡人看見便惱恨、必咬牙而消化．惡人的心願、要歸滅絕。

第113章

你們要讚美耶和華。耶和華的僕人哪、你們要讚美、讚美耶和華的名。

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah, Praise the name of Jehovah.

耶和華的名、是應當稱頌的、從今時直到永遠。

Blessed be the name of Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore.

從日出之地、到日落之處、耶和華的名是應當讚美的。

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same Jehovah`s name is to be praised.

耶和華超乎萬民之上．他的榮耀高過諸天。

Jehovah is high above all nations, And his glory above the heavens.

誰像耶和華我們的神呢．他坐在至高之處、

Who is like unto Jehovah our God, That hath his seat on high,

自己謙卑、觀看天上地下的事。

That humbleth himself to behold [The things that are] in heaven and in the earth?

他從灰塵裏抬舉貧寒人、從糞堆中提拔窮乏人．

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

使他們與王子同坐、就是與本國的王子同坐。

That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people.

他使不能生育的婦人安居家中、爲多子的樂母。你們要讚美耶和華。

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [And to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 114

第114章

以色列出了埃及、雅各家離開說異言之民．

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

那時猶大爲主的聖所、以色列爲他所治理的國度。

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

滄海看見就奔逃、約但河也倒流。

The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back.

大山踴躍如公羊、小山跳舞如羊羔。

The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

滄海阿、你爲何奔逃．約但哪你爲何倒流．

What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

大山哪、你爲何踴躍如公羊．小山哪、你爲何跳舞如羊羔。

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

他叫磐石變爲水池、叫堅石變爲泉源。

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters. Psalm 115

第115章

耶和華阿、榮耀不要歸與我們、不要歸與我們．要因你的慈愛和誠實歸在你的名下。

Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, But unto thy name give glory, For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth`s sake.

爲何容外邦人說、他們的神在哪裏呢。

Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God?

然而我們的神在天上．都隨自己的意旨行事。

But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased.

他們的偶像、是金的銀的、是人手所造的。

Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men`s hands.

有口卻不能言．有眼卻不能看．

They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

有耳卻不能聽．有鼻卻不能聞．

They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;

有手卻不能摸．有腳卻不能走．有喉嚨也不能出聲。

They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.

造他的要和他一樣．凡靠他的也要如此。

凡敬畏耶和華的、無論大小、主必賜福給他。

He will bless them that fear Jehovah, Both small and great.

Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

天是耶和華的天．地、他卻給了世人。

The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

死人不能讚美耶和華．下到寂靜中的、也都不能．

The dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence;

但我們要稱頌耶和華、從今時直到永遠。你們要讚美耶和華。

But we will bless Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 116

第116章

我愛耶和華、因爲他聽了我的聲音、和我的懇求。

I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.

他旣向我側耳、我一生要求告他。

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live.

死亡的繩索纏繞我、陰間的痛苦抓住我．我遭遇患難愁苦。

The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

那時、我便求告耶和華的名、說、耶和華阿、求你救我的靈魂。

Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

耶和華有恩惠、有公義．我們的神以憐憫爲懷。

Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.

耶和華保護愚人．我落到卑微的地步、他救了我。

Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

我的心哪、你要仍歸安樂、因爲耶和華用厚恩待你。

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

主阿、你救我的命、免了死亡、救我的眼、免了流淚、救我的腳、免了跌倒。

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, [And] my feet from falling.

我要在耶和華面前、行活人之路。

I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living.

我因信、所以如此說話．我受了極大的困苦。

I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:

我曾急促的說、人都是說謊的。

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

我拿甚麼報答耶和華向我所賜的一切厚恩。

What shall I render unto Jehovah For all his benefits toward me?

我要舉起救恩的杯、稱揚耶和華的名。

I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah.

我要在他衆民面前向耶和華還我的願。

I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people.

在耶和華眼中看聖民之死、極爲寶貴。

Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints.

耶和華阿、我眞是你的僕人．我是你的僕人、是你婢女的兒子．你已經解開我的綁索。

O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.

我要以感謝爲祭獻給你、又要求告耶和華的名。

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah.

我要在他衆民面前、在耶和華殿的院內、在耶路撒冷當中、向耶和華還我的願。你們要讚美耶和華。

I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people,

我要在他衆民面前、在耶和華殿的院內、在耶路撒冷當中、向耶和華還我的願。你們要讚美耶和華。

In the courts of Jehovah`s house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 117

第117章

萬國阿、你們都當讚美耶和華．萬民哪、你們都當頌讚他。

O praise Jehovah, all ye nations; Laud him, all ye peoples.

因爲他向我們大施慈愛．耶和華的誠實、存到永遠。你們要讚美耶和華。

For his lovingkindness is great toward us; And the truth of Jehovah [endureth] for ever. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 118

第118章

你們要稱謝耶和華、因他本爲善．他的慈愛永遠長存。

Let the house of Aaron now say, That his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.

我在急難中求告耶和華、他就應允我、把我安置在寬闊之地。

Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah: Jehovah answered me [and set me] in a large place.

有耶和華幫助我．我必不懼怕．人能把我怎麼樣呢。

Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me?

在那幫助我的人中、有耶和華幫助我．所以我要看見那恨我的人遭報。

Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

投靠耶和華、強似倚賴人。

It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in man.

投靠耶和華、強似倚賴王子。

It is better to take refuge in Jehovah Than to put confidence in princes.

萬民圍繞我．我靠耶和華的名、必剿滅他們。

All nations compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

他們環繞我、圍困我．我靠耶和華的名、必剿滅他們。

They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

他們如同蜂子圍繞我、好像燒荊棘的火、必被熄滅．我靠耶和華的名、必剿滅他們。

They compassed me about like bees; They are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

你推我要叫我跌倒、但耶和華幫助了我。

Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; But Jehovah helped me.

耶和華是我的力量、是我的詩歌．他也成了我的拯救。

Jehovah is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation.

在義人的帳棚裏、有歡呼拯救的聲音．耶和華的右手施展大能。

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

耶和華的右手高舉．耶和華的右手施展大能。

The right hand of Jehovah is exalted: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

我必不至死、仍要存活、並要傳揚耶和華的作爲。

I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of Jehovah.

耶和華雖嚴嚴的懲治我、卻未曾將我交於死亡。

Jehovah hath chastened me sore; But he hath not given me over unto death.

給我敞開義門．我要進去、稱謝耶和華。

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Jehovah.

這是耶和華的門．義人要進去。

This is the gate of Jehovah; The righteous shall enter into it.

我要稱謝你、因爲你已經應允我、又成了我的拯救。

I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me, And art become my salvation.

匠人所棄的石頭、已成了房角的頭塊石頭。

The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

保護以色列的、也不打盹、也不睡覺。

Behold, he that keepeth Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.

保護你的是耶和華．耶和華在你右邊蔭庇你。

Jehovah is thy keeper: Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.

白日太陽必不傷你．夜間月亮必不害你。

The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.

耶和華要保護你、免受一切的災害．他要保護你的性命。

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul.

你出你入、耶和華要保護你、從今時直到永遠。

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore. Psalm 122 A Song of Ascents; of David.

第122章

大衞上行之詩。人對我說、我們往耶和華的殿去、我就歡喜。

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

耶路撒冷阿、我們的腳、站在你的門內。

Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

耶路撒冷被建造、如同連絡整齊的一座城。

Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;

衆支派、就是耶和華的支派、上那裏去、按以色列的常例、〈或作作以色列的證據〉稱讚耶和華的名。

Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

因爲在那裏設立審判的寶座、就是大衞家的寶座。

For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

你們要爲耶路撒冷求平安。耶路撒冷阿、愛你的人必然興旺。

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.

願你城中平安、願你宮內興旺。

Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces.

因我弟兄和同伴的緣故、我要說、願平安在你中間。

For my brethren and companions` sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

因耶和華我們神殿的緣故、我要爲你求福。

For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good. Psalm 123 A Song of Ascents.

第123章

上行之詩。坐在天上的主阿、我向你舉目。

Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.

看哪、僕人的眼睛怎樣望主人的手、使女的眼睛怎樣望主母的手、我們的眼睛也照樣望耶和華我們的神、直到他憐憫我們。

Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes [look] unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.

耶和華阿、求你憐憫我們、憐憫我們．因爲我們被藐視、已到極處。

Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

我們被那些安逸人的譏誚、和驕傲人的藐視、已到極處。

Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud. Psalm 124 A Song of Ascents; of David.

第124章

大衞上行之詩。以色列人要說、若不是耶和華幫助我們、

If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

若不是耶和華幫助我們、當人起來攻擊我們、

If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

向我們發怒的時候、就把我們活活的吞了．

Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

那時、波濤必漫過我們、河水必淹沒我們．

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

狂傲的水必淹沒我們。

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

耶和華是應當稱頌的．他沒有把我們當野食交給他們吞喫。〈原文作牙齒〉

Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

我們好像雀鳥從捕鳥人的網羅裏逃脫．網羅破裂、我們逃脫了。

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

我們得幫助、是在乎倚靠造天地之耶和華的名。

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of Ascents.

第125章

上行之詩。倚靠耶和華的人、好像錫安山、永不動搖。

They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

衆山怎樣圍繞耶路撒冷、耶和華也照樣圍繞他的百姓、從今時直到永遠。

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore.

惡人的杖、不常落在義人的分上、免得義人伸手作惡。

For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity.

耶和華阿、求你善待那些爲善、和心裏正直的人。

Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good, And to them that are upright in their hearts.

至於那偏行彎曲道路的人、耶和華必使他和作惡的人、一同出去受刑。願平安歸於以色列。

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel. Psalm 126 A Song of Ascents.

第126章

上行之詩。當耶和華將那些被擄的帶回錫安的時候、我們好像作夢的人。

When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.

我們滿口喜笑、滿舌歡呼的時候、外邦中就有人說、耶和華爲他們行了大事。

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

耶和華果然爲我們行了大事、我們就歡喜。

Jehovah hath done great things for us, [Whereof] we are glad.

耶和華阿、求你使我們被擄的人歸回、好像南地的河水復流。

Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.

流淚撒種的、必歡呼收割。

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

那帶種流淚出去的、必要歡歡樂樂的帶禾捆回來。

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves [with him]. Psalm 127 A Song of Ascents; of Solomon.

第127章

所羅門上行之詩。若不是耶和華建造房屋、建造的人就枉然勞力．若不是耶和華看守城池、看守的人就枉然儆醒。

Except Jehovah build the house, They labor in vain that build it: Except Jehovah keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain.

你們清晨早起、夜晚安歇、喫勞碌得來的飯、本是枉然．惟有耶和華所親愛的、必叫他安然睡覺。

It is vain for you to rise up early, To take rest late, To eat the bread of toil; [For] so he giveth unto his beloved sleep.

兒女是耶和華所賜的產業．所懷的胎、是他所給的賞賜。

Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah; [And] the fruit of the womb is [his] reward.

少年時所生的兒女、好像勇士手中的箭。

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth.

箭袋充滿的人、便爲有福．他們在城門口、和仇敵說話的時候、必不至於羞愧。

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 128 A Song of Ascents.

第128章

上行之詩。凡敬畏耶和華、遵行他道的人、便爲有福。

Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways.

你要喫勞碌得來的．你要享福、事情順利。

For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

你妻子在你的內室、好像多結果子的葡萄樹．你兒女圍繞你的桌子、好像橄欖栽子。

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants, Round about thy table.

看哪、敬畏耶和華的人、必要這樣蒙福。

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah.

願耶和華從錫安賜福給你。願你一生一世、看見耶路撒冷的好處。

Jehovah bless thee out of Zion: And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

願你看見你兒女的兒女。願平安歸於以色列。

Yea, see thou thy children`s children. Peace be upon Israel. Psalm 129 A Song of Ascents.

第129章

上行之詩。以色列當說、從我幼年以來、敵人屢次苦害我、

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,

從我幼年以來、敵人屢次苦害我、卻沒有勝了我。

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.

如同扶犂的、在我背上扶犂而耕．耕的犂溝甚長。

The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows.

耶和華是公義的．他砍斷了惡人的繩索。

Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

願恨惡錫安的、都蒙羞退後。

Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion.

願他們像房頂上的草、未長成而枯乾．

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;

收割的不彀一把、捆禾的也不滿懷．

Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

過路的也不說、願耶和華所賜的福、歸與你們．我們奉耶和華的名、給你們祝福。

Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah. Psalm 130 A Song of Ascents.

第130章

上行之詩。耶和華阿、我從深處向你求告。

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.

主阿、求你聽我的聲音．願你側耳聽我懇求的聲音。

Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.

主耶和華阿、你若究察罪孽、誰能站得住呢．

If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

但在你有赦免之恩、要叫人敬畏你。

But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared.

我等候耶和華、我的心等候．我也仰望他的話。

I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.

我的心等候主、勝於守夜的等候天亮、勝於守夜的等候天亮。

My soul [waiteth] for the Lord More than watchmen [wait] for the morning; [Yea, more than] watchmen for the morning.

以色列阿、你當仰望耶和華．因他有慈愛、有豐盛的救恩。

O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption.

他必救贖以色列脫離一切的罪孽。

And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities. Psalm 131 A Song of Ascents; of David.

第131章

大衞上行之詩。耶和華阿、我的心不狂傲、我的眼不高大．重大和測不透的事、我也不敢行。

Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; Neither do I exercise myself in great matters, Or in things too wonderful for me.

我的心平穩安靜、好像斷過奶的孩子在他母親的懷中．我的心在我裏面眞像斷過奶的孩子。

Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child with his mother, Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

以色列阿、你當仰望耶和華、從今時直到永遠。

O Israel, hope in Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Psalm 132 A Song of Ascents.

第132章

上行之詩。耶和華阿、求你記念大衞所受的一切苦難．

Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction;

他怎樣向耶和華起誓、向雅各的大能者許願、

How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

說、我必不進我的帳幕、也不上我的牀榻．

Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, Nor go up into my bed;

我不容我的眼睛睡覺、也不容我的眼目打盹．

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Or slumber to mine eyelids;

直等我爲耶和華尋得所在、爲雅各的大能者尋得居所。

Until I find out a place for Jehovah, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.

我們聽說約櫃在以法他．我們在基列耶琳就尋見了。

Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood.

我們要進他的居所、在他腳凳前下拜。

We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool.

耶和華阿、求你興起、和你有能力的約櫃同入安息之所。

Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength.

願你的祭司披上公義．願你的聖民歡呼。

Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness; And let thy saints shout for joy.

求你因你僕人大衞的緣故、不要厭棄你的受膏者。

For thy servant David`s sake Turn not away the face of thine anointed.

耶和華向大衞憑誠實起了誓、必不反覆、說、我要使你所生的坐在你的寶座上。

Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

你的衆子若守我的約、和我所教訓他們的法度、他們的子孫、必永遠坐在你的寶座上。

If thy children will keep my covenant And my testimony that I shall teach them, Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.

因爲耶和華揀選了錫安、願意當作自己的居所、

For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation.

說、這是我永遠安息之所．我要住在這裏．因爲是我所願意的。

This is my resting-place for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

我要使其中的糧食豐滿、使其中的窮人飽足。

I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

我要使祭司披上救恩、聖民大聲歡呼。

Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

我要叫大衞的角、在那裏發生．我爲我的受膏者、豫備明燈。

There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

我要使他的仇敵、披上羞恥．但他的冠冕、要在頭上發光。

His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown flourish. Psalm 133 A Song of Ascents; of David.

第133章

大衞上行之詩。看哪、弟兄和睦同居、是何等的善、何等的美。

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!

這好比那貴重的油、澆在亞倫的頭上、流到鬍鬚．又流到他的衣襟．

It is like the precious oil upon the head, That ran down upon the beard, Even Aaron`s beard; That came down upon the skirt of his garments;

又好比黑門的甘露、降在錫安山．因爲在那裏有耶和華所命定的福、就是永遠的生命。

Like the dew of Hermon, That cometh down upon the mountains of Zion: For there Jehovah commanded the blessing, Even life for evermore. Psalm 134 A Song of Ascents.

第134章

Lift up your hands to the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah.

願造天地的耶和華、從錫安賜福給你們。

Jehovah bless thee out of Zion; Even he that made heaven and earth. Psalm 135

第135章

你們要讚美耶和華。你們要讚美耶和華的名。耶和華的僕人、站在耶和華殿中、站在我們神殿院中的、你們要讚美他。

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah; Praise [him], O ye servants of Jehovah,

你們要讚美耶和華。你們要讚美耶和華的名。耶和華的僕人、站在耶和華殿中、站在我們神殿院中的、你們要讚美他。

Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.

你們要讚美耶和華．耶和華本爲善．要歌頌他的名、因爲這是美好的。

Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

耶和華揀選雅各歸自己、揀選以色列特作自己的子民。

For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [And] Israel for his own possession.

原來我知道耶和華爲大、也知道我們的主超乎萬神之上。

For I know that Jehovah is great, And that our Lord is above all gods.

耶和華在天上、在地下、在海中、在一切的深處、都隨自己的意旨而行．

Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

他使雲霧從地極上騰、造電隨雨而閃、從府庫中帶出風來．

Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;

他將埃及頭生的、連人帶牲畜、都擊殺了。

Who smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast;

埃及阿、他施行神蹟奇事在你當中、在法老和他一切臣僕身上．

Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants;

他擊殺許多的民、又殺戮大能的王、

Who smote many nations, And slew mighty kings,

就是亞摩利王西宏、和巴珊王噩、並迦南一切的國王、

Sihon king of the Amorites, And Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan,

將他們的地、賞賜他的百姓以色列爲業。

And gave their land for a heritage, A heritage unto Israel his people.

耶和華阿、你的名存到永遠．耶和華阿、你可記念的名、存到萬代。

Thy name, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Thy memorial [name], O Jehovah, throughout all generations.

耶和華要爲他的百姓伸寃、爲他的僕人後悔。

For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself concerning his servants.

外邦的偶像、是金的銀的、是人手所造的。

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men`s hands.

有口卻不能言．有眼卻不能看．

They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

有耳卻不能聽．口中也沒有氣息。

They have ears, but they hear not; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

造他的要和他一樣．凡靠他的、也要如此。

They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

以色列家阿、你們要稱頌耶和華．亞倫家阿、你們要稱頌耶和華．

O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah: O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah:

利未家阿、你們要稱頌耶和華．你們敬畏耶和華的、要稱頌耶和華。

O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah: Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

第137章

我們曾在巴比倫的河邊坐下、一追想錫安就哭了。

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.

我們把琴掛在那裏的柳樹上。

Upon the willows in the midst thereof We hanged up our harps.

因爲在那裏擄掠我們的、要我們唱歌、搶奪我們的、要我們作樂、說、給我們唱一首錫安歌罷。

For there they that led us captive required of us songs, And they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

我們怎能在外邦唱耶和華的歌呢。

How shall we sing Jehovah`s song In a foreign land?

耶路撒冷阿、我若忘記你、情願我的右手忘記技巧。

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget [her skill].

我若不記念你、若不看耶路撒冷過於我所最喜樂的、情願我的舌頭貼於上膛。

Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember thee not; If I prefer not Jerusalem Above my chief joy.

耶路撒冷遭難的日子、以東人說拆毀、拆毀、直拆到根基．耶和華阿、求你記念這仇。

Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.

將要被滅的巴比倫城阿、〈城原文作女子〉報復你、像你待我們的、那人便爲有福。

O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed, Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee As thou hast served us.

拿你的嬰孩摔在磐石上的、那人便爲有福。

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the rock. Psalm 138 A [Psalm] of David.

第138章

大衞的詩。我要一心稱謝你、在諸神面前歌頌你。

I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

我要向你的聖殿下拜、爲你的慈愛和誠實稱讚你的名．因你使你的話顯爲大、過於你所應許的。〈或作超乎你的名聲〉

I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

我呼求的日子、你就應允我、鼓勵我、使我心裏有能力。

In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

耶和華阿、地上的君王、都要稱謝你、因他們聽見了你口中的言語。

All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, For they have heard the words of thy mouth.

他們要歌頌耶和華的作爲．因耶和華大有榮耀。

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; For great is the glory of Jehovah.

耶和華雖高、仍看顧低微的人．他卻從遠處看出驕傲的人。

For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

我雖行在患難中、你必將我救活．我的仇敵發怒、你必伸手抵擋他們、你的右手也必救我。

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And thy right hand will save me.

耶和華必成全關乎我的事．耶和華阿、你的慈愛永遠長存．求你不要離棄你手所造的。

Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Forsake not the works of thine own hands. Psalm 139 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

第139章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。耶和華阿、你已經鑒察我、認識我．

O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known [me].

我坐下、我起來、你都曉得．你從遠處知道我的意念。

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off.

我行路、我躺臥、你都細察、你也深知我一切所行的。

Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways.

耶和華阿、我舌頭上的話、你沒有一句不知道的．

For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.

你在我前後環繞我、按手在我身上。

Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me.

這樣的知識奇妙、是我不能測的．至高、是我不能及的。

[Such] knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

我往那裏去躱避你的靈．我往那裏逃躱避你的面。

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

我若升到天上、你在那裏．我若在陰間下榻、你也在那裏。

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there.

我若展開清晨的翅膀、飛到海極居住．

If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

就是在那裏、你的手必引導我．你的右手、也必扶持我。

Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me.

我若說、黑暗必定遮蔽我、我周圍的亮光必成爲黑夜．

If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night;

黑暗也不能遮蔽我使你不見、黑夜卻如白晝發亮．黑暗和光明、在你看都是一樣。

Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike [to thee].

我的肺腑是你所造的．我在母腹中、你已覆庇我。

For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother`s womb.

我要稱謝你、因我受造奇妙可畏．你的作爲奇妙．這是我心深知道的。

I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

我在暗中受造、在地的深處被聯絡、那時、我的形體並不向你隱藏。

My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, [And] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

我未成形的體質、你的眼早已看見了．你所定的日子、我尚未度一日、〈或作我被造的肢體尚未有其一〉你都寫在你的冊上了。

Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, [Even] the days that were ordained [for me], When as yet there was none of them.

神阿、你的意念向我何等寶貴．其數何等衆多。

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

我若數點、比海沙更多．我睡醒的時候、仍和你同在。

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee.

神阿、你必要殺戮惡人．所以你們好流人血的、離開我去罷。

Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

因爲他們說惡言頂撞你、你的仇敵也妄稱你的名。

For they speak against thee wickedly, And thine enemies take [thy name] in vain.

耶和華阿、恨惡你的、我豈不恨惡他們麼．攻擊你的、我豈不憎嫌他們麼。

Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

我切切的恨惡他們、以他們爲仇敵。

I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies.

神阿、求你鑒察我、知道我的心思、試煉我、知道我的意念．

Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts;

看在我裏面有甚麼惡行沒有、引導我走永生的道路。

And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 140 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

第140章

大衞的詩、交與伶長。耶和華阿、求你拯救我脫離凶惡的人、保護我脫離強暴的人。

Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:

他們心中圖謀奸惡、常常聚集要爭戰。

Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually do they gather themselves together for war.

他們使舌頭尖利如蛇．嘴裏有虺蛇的毒氣。細拉

They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders` poison is under their lips. Selah

耶和華阿、求你拯救我、脫離惡人的手、保護我、脫離強暴的人．他們圖謀推我跌倒。

Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.

驕傲人爲我暗設網羅和繩索．他們在路旁鋪下網、設下圈套。細拉

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. Selah

我曾對耶和華說、你是我的神．耶和華阿、求你留心聽我懇求的聲音。

I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.

主耶和華、我救恩的力量阿、在爭戰的日子、你遮蔽了我的頭。

O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

耶和華阿、求你不要遂惡人的心願．不要成就他們的計謀、恐怕他們自高。細拉

Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil device, [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah

至於那些昂首圍困我的人、願他們嘴唇的奸惡、陷害〈原文作遮蔽〉自己。

As for the head of those that compass me about, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

願火炭落在他們身上．願他們被丟在火中、拋在深坑裏、不能再起來。

Let burning coals fall upon them: Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, whence they shall not rise.

說惡言的人、在地上必堅立不住．禍患必獵取強暴的人、將他打倒。

An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

我知道耶和華必爲困苦人伸寃、必爲窮乏人辨屈。

I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.

義人必要稱讚你的名．正直人必住在你面前。

Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: The upright shall dwell in thy presence. Psalm 141 A Psalm of David.

第141章

大衞的詩。耶和華阿、我曾求告你．求你快快臨到我這裏．我求告你的時候、願你留心聽我的聲音。

Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.

願我的禱告、如香陳列在你面前．願我舉手祈求、如獻晚祭。

Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

耶和華阿、求你禁止我的口、把守我的嘴。

Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.

求你不叫我的心、偏向邪惡、以致我和作孽的人同行惡事．也不叫我喫他們的美食。

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.

任憑義人擊打我、這算爲仁慈．任憑他責備我、這算爲頭上的膏油．我的頭不要躱閃。正在他們行惡的時候、我仍要祈禱。

Let the righteous smite me, [it shall be] a kindness; And let him reprove me, [it shall be as] oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.

他們的審判官、被扔在巖下．衆人要聽我的話、因爲這話甘甜。

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

我們的骨頭、散在墓旁、好像人耕田、刨地的土塊。

As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

主耶和華阿、我的眼目仰望你．我投靠你、求你不要將我撇得孤苦。

For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord: In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.

求你保護我脫離惡人爲我設的網羅、和作孽之人的圈套。

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.

願惡人落在自己的網裏．我卻得以逃脫。

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst that I withal escape. Psalm 142 Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer.

第142章

大衞在洞裏作的訓誨詩、乃是祈禱。我發聲哀告耶和華．發聲懇求耶和華。

I cry with my voice unto Jehovah; With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

我在他面前吐露我的苦情．陳說我的患難。

I pour out my complaint before him; I show before him my trouble.

我的靈在我裏面發昏的時候、你知道我的道路。在我行的路上、敵人爲我暗設網羅。

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me.

求你向我右邊觀看、因爲沒有人認識我．我無處避難、也沒有人眷顧我。

Look on [my] right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.

耶和華阿、我曾向你哀求．我說、你是我的避難所．在活人之地、你是我的福分。

I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

求你側耳聽我的呼求、因我落到極卑之地．求你救我脫離逼迫我的人、因爲他們比我強盛。

Attend unto my cry; For I am brought very low: Deliver me from my persecutors; For they are stronger than I.

求你領我出離被囚之地、我好稱讚你的名．義人必環繞我、因爲你是用厚恩待我。

Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks unto thy name: The righteous shall compass me about; For thou wilt deal bountifully with me. Psalm 143 A Psalm of David.

第143章

大衞的詩。耶和華阿、求你聽我的禱告、留心聽我的懇求、憑你的信實和公義應允我。

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications: In thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.

求你不要審問僕人．因爲在你面前凡活着的人、沒有一個是義的。

And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy sight no man living is righteous.

原來仇敵逼迫我、將我打倒在地．使我住在幽暗之處、像死了許久的人一樣。

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

所以我的靈在我裏面發昏．我的心在我裏面悽慘。

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is desolate.

我追想古時之日、思想你的一切作爲、默念你手的工作。

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy doings; I muse on the work of thy hands.

我向你舉手我的心渴想你、如乾旱之地盼雨一樣。細拉

I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a weary land. Selah

耶和華阿、求你速速應允我．我心神耗盡．不要向我掩面、免得我像那些下坑的人一樣。

Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

求你使我清晨得聽你慈愛之言、因我倚靠你．求你使我知道當行的路、因我的心仰望你。

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee.

耶和華阿、求你救我脫離我的仇敵．我往你那裏藏身。

Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

求你指教我遵行你的旨意、因你是我的神．你的靈本爲善．求你引我到平坦之地。

Teach me to do thy will; For thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good; Lead me in the land of uprightness.

耶和華阿、求你爲你的名將我救活．憑你的公義、將我從患難中領出來．

Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name`s sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

憑你的慈愛剪除我的仇敵、滅絕一切苦待我的人．因我是你的僕人。

And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am thy servant. Psalm 144 [A Psalm] of David.

第144章

大衞的詩。耶和華我的磐石、是應當稱頌的．他教導我的手爭戰、教導我的指頭打仗。

Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, [And] my fingers to fight:

他是我慈愛的主、我的山寨、我的高臺、我的救主、我的盾牌、是我所投靠的．他使我的百姓服在我以下。

My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me.

耶和華阿、人算甚麼、你竟認識他．世人算甚麼、你竟顧念他。

Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

人好像一口氣．他的年日如同影兒快快過去。

Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

耶和華阿、求你使天下垂、親自降臨．摸山、山就冒煙。

Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

求你發出閃電、使他們四散．射出你的箭、使他們擾亂。

Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.

求你從上伸手救拔我、救我出離大水、救我脫離外邦人的手。

Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens;

他們的口說謊話、他們的右手起假誓。

Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

神阿、我要向你唱新歌．用十絃瑟向你歌頌。

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

你是那拯救君王的．你是那救僕人大衞脫離害命之刀的。

Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

求你救拔我、救我脫離外邦人的手．他們的口說謊話、他們的右手起假誓。

Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

我們的兒子、從幼年好像樹栽子長大、我們的女兒、如同殿角石、是按建宮的樣式鑿成的。

When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

我們的倉盈滿、能出各樣的糧食、我們的羊、在田間孳生千萬．

[When] our garners are full, affording all manner of store, [And] our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

我們的牛馱着滿馱、沒有人闖進來搶奪、也沒有人出去爭戰、我們的街市上、也沒有哭號的聲音．

[When] our oxen are well laden; [When there is] no breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:

遇見這光景的百姓、便爲有福．有耶和華爲他們的神、這百姓便爲有福。

Happy is the people that is in such a case; [Yea], happy is the people whose God is Jehovah. Psalm 145 [A] [Psalm] [of] praise; of David.

我要天天稱頌你．也要永永遠遠讚美你的名。

Every day will I bless thee; And I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised; And his greatness is unsearchable.

這代要對那代頌讚你的作爲、也要傳揚你的大能。

One generation shall laud thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty acts.

我要默念你威嚴的尊榮、和你奇妙的作爲。

Of the glorious majesty of thine honor, And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate.

人要傳說你可畏之事的能力．我也要傳揚你的大德。

And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts; And I will declare thy greatness.

Thou openest thy hand, And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

耶和華在他一切所行的、無不公義．在他一切所作的、都有慈愛。

Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, And gracious in all his works.

凡求告耶和華的、就是誠心求告他的、耶和華便與他們相近。

Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth.

敬畏他的、他必成就他們的心願．也必聽他們的呼求、拯救他們。

He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; He also will hear their cry and will save them.

耶和華保護一切愛他的人、卻要滅絕一切的惡人。

你們不要倚靠君王、不要倚靠世人、他一點不能幫助。

Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

他的氣一斷、就歸回塵土．他所打算的、當日就消滅了。

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.

以雅各的神爲幫助、仰望耶和華他神的、這人便爲有福。

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
