Psalms 18

1 For the choirmaster. Of David the servant of the LORD, who sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love You, O LORD, my strength.

1 耶和华啊，你是我的力量， 我爱你。

2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

2 耶和华是我的磐石，我的堡垒， 我的拯救者； 我的上帝是庇护我的磐石， 我的盾牌， 是拯救我的力量，我的坚垒。

3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

3 我求告当受颂赞的耶和华， 祂便救我脱离仇敌。

4 The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.

4 死亡的锁链缠住我， 毁灭的狂流淹没我。

5 The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.

5 阴间的绳索捆绑我， 死亡的网罗笼罩我。

6 In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears.

6 我在苦难中呼求耶和华， 向我的上帝求助。 祂从殿中垂听我的呼求， 我的声音达到祂耳中。

7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.

7 祂一发怒，大地震动颤抖， 山的根基摇晃。

8 Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.

8 祂的鼻孔冒烟， 口喷烈焰和火炭。

9 He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.

9 祂使穹苍低垂，亲自降临， 脚下踩着密云。

10 He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.

10 祂乘着基路伯天使飞翔， 乘着风的翅膀疾驰。

11 He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.

11 祂藏身于黑暗中， 四围以密云作幔幕。

12 From the brightness of His presence His clouds advanced—hailstones and coals of fire.

12 从祂面前的荣光中， 冰雹和火炭冲破云层。

13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded—hailstones and coals of fire.

13 耶和华在天上打雷， 至高者发出的声音响彻在冰雹和火炭中。

14 He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.

14 祂射出利箭驱散仇敌， 发出闪电击溃他们。

15 The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at Your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

15 耶和华啊，你一声斥责， 鼻孔一吹气，海底就显现， 大地也露出根基。

16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.

16 祂从高天伸手抓住我， 从大水中把我拉上来。

17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.

17 祂救我脱离强敌， 脱离我无法战胜的仇敌。

18 They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.

18 他们在我危难之时攻击我， 但耶和华扶持我。

19 He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

19 祂领我到宽阔之地， 祂搭救我，因为祂喜悦我。

20 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.

20 耶和华因我公义而善待我， 因我清白而赏赐我，

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

21 因为我遵行祂的道， 没有作恶背弃我的上帝。

22 For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.

22 我遵守祂的一切法令， 没有把祂的律例弃置一旁。

23 And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.

23 我在祂面前纯全无过， 没有沾染罪恶。

24 So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

24 耶和华按我的公义、 照我在祂面前的清白奖赏我。

25 To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;

25 仁慈的人，你以仁慈待他； 纯全的人，你以纯全待他；

26 to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.

26 纯洁的人，你以纯洁待他； 乖谬的人，你以计谋待他。

27 For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.

27 你拯救谦卑的人， 贬抑眼目高傲的人。

28 For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.

28 我的上帝耶和华啊， 你点亮我的灯， 你使我的黑暗变为光明。

29 For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.

29 我靠着你迎战敌军， 靠着我的上帝跃过墙垣。

30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

30 上帝的道完美， 耶和华的话纯全， 祂是一切投靠祂之人的盾牌。

31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

31 除了耶和华，谁是上帝呢？ 除了我们的上帝，谁是磐石呢？

32 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.

32 上帝赐我力量， 使我行为纯全。

33 He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.

33 祂使我的脚如母鹿的蹄， 稳踏在高处。

34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

34 祂训练我的手如何争战， 使我的臂膀能拉开铜弓。

35 You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.

35 耶和华啊，你是拯救我的盾牌， 你的右手扶持我， 你的垂顾使我强大。

36 You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.

36 你使我脚下的道路宽阔， 不致滑倒。

37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.

37 我追赶仇敌直到追上， 不消灭他们决不回头。

38 I crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.

38 我打垮他们， 使他们倒在我的脚下， 再也站不起来。

39 You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.

39 你赐我征战的能力， 使我的仇敌降服在我脚下。

40 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I destroyed those who hated me.

40 你使我的仇敌败逃， 我歼灭了恨我的人。

41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—to the LORD, but He did not answer.

41 他们呼救，却无人拯救； 他们呼求耶和华，祂也不应允。

42 I ground them as dust in the face of the wind; I trampled them like mud in the streets.

42 我把他们打得粉碎， 如同风中的灰尘； 我把他们倒掉， 如同街上的泥土。

43 You have delivered me from the strife of the people; You have made me the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.

43 你救我脱离我百姓的攻击， 立我做列国的元首。 素不相识的民族也服侍我。

44 When they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cower before me.

44 外族人望风而降， 对我俯首称臣。

45 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.

45 他们闻风丧胆， 战战兢兢地走出他们的城池。

46 The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—

46 耶和华永远活着， 我的磐石当受颂赞， 拯救我的上帝当受尊崇。

47 the God who avenges me and subdues nations beneath me,

47 祂是为我申冤的上帝， 祂使列邦臣服于我。

48 who delivers me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.

48 祂救我脱离仇敌， 使我胜过强敌， 救我脱离残暴之徒。

49 Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.

49 因此，耶和华啊， 我要在列邦中赞美你， 歌颂你的名。

50 Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.

50 耶和华使祂立的王大获全胜， 向祂膏立的大卫及其后代广施慈爱，直到永远。
