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，我的力量啊，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 耶和华是我的岩石，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，是我的高台。

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

3 我要求告当赞美的耶和华； 这样我必从仇敌手中被救出来。

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

4 曾有死亡的绳索缠绕我， 匪类的急流使我惊惧，

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

5 阴间的绳索缠绕我， 死亡的网罗临到我。

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 我在急难中求告耶和华， 向我的 神呼求。 他从殿中听了我的声音； 我在他面前的呼求入了他的耳中。

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

7 那时，因他发怒，地就摇撼战抖； 山的根基也震动摇撼。

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

8 从他鼻孔冒烟上腾； 从他口中发火焚烧，连炭也着了。

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

9 他又使天下垂，亲自降临， 有黑云在他脚下。

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

10 他坐着基路伯飞行； 他借着风的翅膀快飞。

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

11 他以黑暗为藏身之处， 以水的黑暗、天空的厚云为他四围的行宫。

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

12 因他面前的光辉， 他的厚云行过便有冰雹火炭。

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

13 耶和华也在天上打雷； 至高者发出声音便有冰雹火炭。

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

14 他射出箭来，使仇敌四散； 多多发出闪电，使他们扰乱。

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，你的斥责一发， 你鼻孔的气一出， 海底就出现， 大地的根基也显露。

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

16 他从高天伸手抓住我， 把我从大水中拉上来。

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

17 他救我脱离我的劲敌和那些恨我的人， 因为他们比我强盛。

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

18 我遭遇灾难的日子，他们来攻击我； 但耶和华是我的倚靠。

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

19 他又领我到宽阔之处； 他救拔我，因他喜悦我。

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

20 耶和华按着我的公义报答我， 按着我手中的清洁赏赐我。

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

21 因为我遵守了耶和华的道， 未曾作恶离开我的 神。

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

22 他的一切典章常在我面前； 他的律例我也未曾丢弃。

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

23 我在他面前作了完全人； 我也保守自己远离我的罪孽。

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

24 所以，耶和华按我的公义， 按我在他眼前手中的清洁偿还我。

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

25 慈爱的人，你以慈爱待他； 完全的人，你以完全待他。

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

26 清洁的人，你以清洁待他； 乖僻的人，你以弯曲待他。

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

27 困苦的百姓，你必拯救； 高傲的眼目，你必使他降卑。

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

28 你必点着我的灯； 耶和华—我的 神必照明我的黑暗。

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

29 我借着你冲入敌军， 借着我的 神跳过墙垣。

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 至于 神，他的道是完全的； 耶和华的话是炼净的。 凡投靠他的，他便作他们的盾牌。

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

31 除了耶和华，谁是 神呢？ 除了我们的 神，谁是磐石呢？

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

32 惟有那以力量束我的腰、 使我行为完全的，他是 神。

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

33 他使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄， 又使我在高处安稳。

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

34 他教导我的手能以争战， 甚至我的膀臂能开铜弓。

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

35 你把你的救恩给我作盾牌； 你的右手扶持我； 你的温和使我为大。

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

36 你使我脚下的地步宽阔； 我的脚未曾滑跌。

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

37 我要追赶我的仇敌，并要追上他们； 不将他们灭绝，我总不归回。

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

38 我要打伤他们，使他们不能起来； 他们必倒在我的脚下。

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

39 因为你曾以力量束我的腰，使我能争战； 你也使那起来攻击我的都服在我以下。

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

40 你又使我的仇敌在我面前转背逃跑， 叫我能以剪除那恨我的人。

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

41 他们呼求，却无人拯救； 就是呼求耶和华，他也不应允。

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

42 我捣碎他们，如同风前的灰尘， 倒出他们，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 你救我脱离百姓的争竞， 立我作列国的元首； 我素不认识的民必事奉我。

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

44 他们一听见我的名声就必顺从我； 外邦人要投降我。

45 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.

45 外邦人要衰残， 战战兢兢地出他们的营寨。

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

46 耶和华是活神。 愿我的磐石被人称颂； 愿救我的 神被人尊崇。

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

47 这位 神，就是那为我伸冤、 使众民服在我以下的。

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

48 你救我脱离仇敌， 又把我举起，高过那些起来攻击我的； 你救我脱离强暴的人。

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

49 耶和华啊，因此我要在外邦中称谢你， 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 耶和华赐极大的救恩给他所立的王， 施慈爱给他的受膏者， 就是给大卫和他的后裔，直到永远。
