大卫颂赞之歌(A)

22 在耶和华拯救大卫脱离所有仇敌和扫罗的手的日子,他向耶和华唱出这首歌的歌词。 他说:

“耶和华是我的岩石、我的山寨、我的救主、

我的 神、我的盘石、我所投靠的、

我的盾牌、我救恩的角、我的高台、我的避难所、

我的救主;你是救我脱离强暴的。

我向那当受赞美的耶和华呼求,

就得到拯救,脱离我的仇敌。

死亡的波浪环绕我,

毁灭的急流淹没了我。

阴间的绳索围绕着我;

死亡的网罗迎面而来。

急难临到我的时候,我求告耶和华,

我向我的 神呼求;

他从殿中听了我的声音,

我的呼求进了他的耳中。

那时大地摇撼震动,

天的根基也都摇动;

它们摇撼,是因为耶和华发怒。

浓烟从他的鼻孔往上冒,

烈火从他的口中喷出来,

连炭也烧着了。

10 他使天下垂,亲自降临;

在他的脚下黑云密布。

11 他乘着基路伯飞行,

借着风的翅膀急飞。

12 他以黑暗作他的隐密处,

他以浓黑的水气,就是天空的密云,作他四周的帷帐。

13 从他面前发出的光辉,

火炭都烧起来!

14 耶和华从天上打雷,

至高者发出声音。

15 他射出箭来,使它们四散;

他发出闪电,使它们混乱。

16 耶和华的斥责一发,

他鼻孔的气一出,

海底就出现,

大地的根基也显露。

17 他从高处伸手抓住我,

把我从大水中拉上来。

18 他救我脱离我的强敌,

脱离那些恨我的人,因为他们比我强盛。

19 在我遭难的日子,他们来攻击我;

但耶和华是我的支持。

20 他又领我出去,到那宽阔之地;

他搭救我,因为他喜悦我。

21 耶和华按着我的公义报答我,

照着我手中的清洁回报我。

22 因为我谨守了耶和华的道;

未曾作恶离开我的 神。

23 因为他的一切典章常摆在我面前,

他的律例,我未曾丢弃。

24 我在他面前作完全的人,

我也谨守自己,脱离我的罪孽;

25 所以耶和华按着我的公义,

照着我在他眼前的清洁回报我。

26 对慈爱的人,你显出你的慈爱;

对完全的人,你显出你的完全。

27 对清洁的人,你显出你的清洁;

对狡诈的人,你显出你的机巧。

28 谦卑的人,你要拯救;

你的眼睛察看高傲的人,要使他们降卑。

29 耶和华啊!你是我的灯;

耶和华照明了我的黑暗。

30 借着你,我攻破敌军;

靠着我的 神,我跳过墙垣。

31 这位 神,他的道路是完全的;

耶和华的话是炼净的;

凡是投靠他的,他都作他们的盾牌。

32 除了耶和华,谁是 神呢?

除了我们的 神,谁是盘石呢?

33 这位 神是我坚固的避难所,

他使我的道路完全。

34 他使我的脚像母鹿的蹄,

又使我站稳在高处。

35 他教导我的手怎样作战,

又使我的手臂可以拉开铜弓。

36 你把你救恩的盾牌赐给我;

你的回答使我昌大。

37 你使我脚底下的路径宽阔,

我的两膝不会动摇。

38 我追赶仇敌,把他们追上,

不消灭他们,我必不归回。

39 我吞灭他们,重创他们,使他们不能起来;

他们都倒在我的脚下。

40 你以能力给我束腰,使我能够作战;

你又使那些起来攻击我的人都屈服在我的脚下。

41 你使我的仇敌在我面前转背逃跑,

使我可以歼灭恨我的人。

42 他们呼叫,却没有人拯救;

就算向耶和华呼求,他也不答应他们。

43 我捣碎他们,像地上的尘土;

我打碎他们,践踏他们,

像街上的烂泥。

44 你救我脱离了我民的争竞,

你立我作列国的元首;

我不认识的人民要服事我。

45 外族人都向我假意归顺;

他们一听见,就服从我;

46 外族人大势已去,

战战兢兢地从他们的要塞走出来。

47 耶和华是永活的,我的盘石是应当称颂的;

拯救我的 神,我的盘石,是应当被尊为至高的。

48 他是那位为我伸冤的 神,

他使万民服在我的脚下,

49 他救我脱离我的仇敌。

你还把我高举起来,高过那些起来攻击我的人,

又救我脱离了强暴的人。

50 因此,耶和华啊,我要在列国中称赞你,歌颂你的名。

51 耶和华赐极大的救恩给他所立的王,

又向他的受膏者施慈爱,

就是向大卫和他的后裔施慈爱,直到永远。”

David’s Song of Deliverance

22 (A)And David spoke to Yahweh (B)the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the [a]hand of all his enemies and from the [b]hand of Saul. He said,

(C)Yahweh is my [c]rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
[d](D)My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
My (E)shield and (F)the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and (G)my refuge;
My savior, You save me from violence.
I call upon Yahweh, (H)who is worthy to be praised,
And I am saved from my enemies.
For (I)the waves of death encompassed me;
(J)The torrents of [e]vileness terrorized me;
(K)The cords of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
(L)In my distress I called upon Yahweh,
And I called to my God;
And out of His temple He heard my voice,
And my cry for help came into His ears.
Then (M)the earth shook and quaked;
(N)The foundations of heaven were trembling
And were shaken, because He was angry.
Smoke went up [f]out of His nostrils,
(O)And fire from His mouth devoured;
(P)Coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed the heavens and came down
With (Q)thick darkness under His feet.
11 (R)He rode on a cherub and flew;
And He [g]appeared upon (S)the wings of the wind.
12 (T)And He made darkness [h]canopies around Him,
A mass of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13 From the brightness before Him
(U)Coals of fire were kindled.
14 (V)Yahweh thundered from heaven,
And the Most High gave forth His voice.
15 (W)And He sent out arrows, and scattered them,
Lightning, and [i]threw them into confusion.
16 Then the channels of the sea appeared,
The foundations of the world were [j]laid bare
By the rebuke of Yahweh,
(X)At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17 (Y)He sent from on high, He took me;
(Z)He drew me out of many waters.
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
(AA)But Yahweh was my support.
20 (AB)He brought me forth also into a broad place;
He rescued me, (AC)because He delighted in me.
21 (AD)Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness;
(AE)According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
22 (AF)For I have kept the ways of Yahweh,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 (AG)For all His [k]judgments were before me,
And as for His statutes, I did not depart from [l]them.
24 (AH)I was also [m]blameless toward Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.
25 (AI)Therefore Yahweh has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to my cleanness before His eyes.
26 (AJ)With the [n]kind You show Yourself [o]kind,
With the [p]blameless You show Yourself [q]blameless;
27 (AK)With the pure You show Yourself pure,
(AL)And with the crooked You show Yourself [r]astute.
28 (AM)And You save an afflicted people;
(AN)But Your eyes are on the haughty whom You bring down.
29 (AO)For You are my lamp, O Yahweh;
And Yahweh illumines my darkness.
30 (AP)For by You I can [s]run upon a troop;
By my God I can leap over a wall.
31 (AQ)As for God, His way is [t]blameless;
(AR)The word of Yahweh is [u]tried;
(AS)He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
32 (AT)For who is God, but Yahweh?
(AU)And who is a rock, but our God?
33 (AV)God is my strong fortress;
And He [v]sets the [w]blameless in [x]His way.
34 (AW)He makes [y]my feet like hinds’ feet,
(AX)And sets me on my high places.
35 (AY)He trains my hands for battle,
(AZ)So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 You have also given me (BA)the shield of Your salvation,
And Your answer to me makes me great.
37 (BB)You enlarge my steps under me,
And my ankles have not given way.
38 I pursued my enemies and (BC)destroyed them,
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.
39 And I have consumed them and crushed them, so that they did not rise;
And (BD)they fell under my feet.
40 For You have girded me with strength for battle;
You have [z]subdued under me (BE)those who rose up against me.
41 [aa]You have also (BF)made my enemies turn their backs to me,
And I [ab]destroyed those who hated me.
42 (BG)They looked, but there was none to save;
(BH)Even to Yahweh, but He did not answer them.
43 (BI)Then I beat them fine as the dust of the earth;
(BJ)I pulverized and stamped them as the mire of the streets.
44 (BK)You have also delivered me from the contentions of my people;
(BL)You have kept me as head of the nations;
(BM)A people whom I have not known serve me.
45 (BN)Foreigners cower before me;
As soon as they hear, they obey me.
46 Foreigners fade away,
(BO)And [ac]come trembling out of their [ad]fortresses.
47 Yahweh lives, and blessed be my rock;
And let [ae](BP)God, the rock of my salvation, be lifted high,
48 (BQ)The God who executes vengeance for me,
(BR)And brings down peoples under me,
49 Who also brings me out from my enemies;
You even lift me above (BS)those who rise up against me;
(BT)You rescue me from the violent man.
50 (BU)Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Yahweh, among the nations,
And I will sing praises to Your name.
51 (BV)He [af]gives great salvation to His king,
And (BW)shows lovingkindness to His anointed,
(BX)To David and his seed forever.”

David’s Song of Praise(A)

22 David sang(B) to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:

“The Lord is my rock,(C) my fortress(D) and my deliverer;(E)
    my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,(F)
    my shield[a](G) and the horn[b](H) of my salvation.
He is my stronghold,(I) my refuge and my savior—
    from violent people you save me.

“I called to the Lord, who is worthy(J) of praise,
    and have been saved from my enemies.
The waves(K) of death swirled about me;
    the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
The cords of the grave(L) coiled around me;
    the snares of death confronted me.

“In my distress(M) I called(N) to the Lord;
    I called out to my God.
From his temple he heard my voice;
    my cry came to his ears.
The earth(O) trembled and quaked,(P)
    the foundations(Q) of the heavens[c] shook;
    they trembled because he was angry.
Smoke rose from his nostrils;
    consuming fire(R) came from his mouth,
    burning coals(S) blazed out of it.
10 He parted the heavens and came down;
    dark clouds(T) were under his feet.
11 He mounted the cherubim(U) and flew;
    he soared[d] on the wings of the wind.(V)
12 He made darkness(W) his canopy around him—
    the dark[e] rain clouds of the sky.
13 Out of the brightness of his presence
    bolts of lightning(X) blazed forth.
14 The Lord thundered(Y) from heaven;
    the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 He shot his arrows(Z) and scattered the enemy,
    with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
16 The valleys of the sea were exposed
    and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at the rebuke(AA) of the Lord,
    at the blast(AB) of breath from his nostrils.

17 “He reached down from on high(AC) and took hold of me;
    he drew(AD) me out of deep waters.
18 He rescued(AE) me from my powerful enemy,
    from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
    but the Lord was my support.(AF)
20 He brought me out into a spacious(AG) place;
    he rescued(AH) me because he delighted(AI) in me.(AJ)

21 “The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;(AK)
    according to the cleanness(AL) of my hands(AM) he has rewarded me.
22 For I have kept(AN) the ways of the Lord;
    I am not guilty of turning from my God.
23 All his laws are before me;(AO)
    I have not turned(AP) away from his decrees.
24 I have been blameless(AQ) before him
    and have kept myself from sin.
25 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,(AR)
    according to my cleanness[f] in his sight.

26 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
    to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
27 to the pure(AS) you show yourself pure,
    but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.(AT)
28 You save the humble,(AU)
    but your eyes are on the haughty(AV) to bring them low.(AW)
29 You, Lord, are my lamp;(AX)
    the Lord turns my darkness into light.
30 With your help I can advance against a troop[g];
    with my God I can scale a wall.

31 “As for God, his way is perfect:(AY)
    The Lord’s word is flawless;(AZ)
    he shields(BA) all who take refuge in him.
32 For who is God besides the Lord?
    And who is the Rock(BB) except our God?(BC)
33 It is God who arms me with strength[h]
    and keeps my way secure.
34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(BD)
    he causes me to stand on the heights.(BE)
35 He trains my hands(BF) for battle;
    my arms can bend a bow(BG) of bronze.
36 You make your saving help my shield;(BH)
    your help has made[i] me great.
37 You provide a broad path(BI) for my feet,
    so that my ankles do not give way.

38 “I pursued my enemies and crushed them;
    I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
39 I crushed(BJ) them completely, and they could not rise;
    they fell beneath my feet.
40 You armed me with strength for battle;
    you humbled my adversaries before me.(BK)
41 You made my enemies turn their backs(BL) in flight,
    and I destroyed my foes.
42 They cried for help,(BM) but there was no one to save them—(BN)
    to the Lord, but he did not answer.(BO)
43 I beat them as fine as the dust(BP) of the earth;
    I pounded and trampled(BQ) them like mud(BR) in the streets.

44 “You have delivered(BS) me from the attacks of the peoples;
    you have preserved(BT) me as the head of nations.
People(BU) I did not know now serve me,
45     foreigners cower(BV) before me;
    as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.(BW)
46 They all lose heart;
    they come trembling[j](BX) from their strongholds.

47 “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
    Exalted(BY) be my God, the Rock, my Savior!(BZ)
48 He is the God who avenges(CA) me,(CB)
    who puts the nations under me,
49     who sets me free from my enemies.(CC)
You exalted me(CD) above my foes;
    from a violent man you rescued me.
50 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
    I will sing the praises(CE) of your name.(CF)

51 “He gives his king great victories;(CG)
    he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed,(CH)
    to David(CI) and his descendants forever.”(CJ)
