诗篇 118
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
稱謝 神的幫助與拯救
118 你們要稱謝耶和華，因他本是良善的；
他的慈愛永遠長存。
2 願以色列說：
“他的慈愛永遠長存。”
3 願亞倫家說：
“他的慈愛永遠長存。”
4 願敬畏耶和華的說：
“他的慈愛永遠長存。”
5 我在急難中求告耶和華，
他就應允我，使我站在寬闊之地。
6 耶和華是我的幫助，我決不害怕，
人能把我怎麼樣呢？
7 耶和華是我的幫助，
我必看見恨我的人遭報。
8 投靠耶和華，
勝過倚靠人。
9 投靠耶和華，
勝過倚靠王子。
10 列國圍困著我，
我靠著耶和華的名必除滅他們。
11 他們圍繞著我，把我圍困，
我靠著耶和華的名必除滅他們。
12 他們如同蜜蜂圍繞著我，
但他們要像燒荊棘的火熄滅；
我靠著耶和華的名必除滅他們。
13 他們（“他們”原文作“你”）極力推我，要我跌倒，
耶和華卻幫助了我。
14 耶和華是我的力量，我的詩歌；
他也成了我的拯救。
15 在義人的帳棚裡，
有歡呼和得勝的聲音，說：
“耶和華的右手行了大能的事。
16 耶和華的右手高高舉起；
耶和華的右手行了大能的事。”
17 我必不至於死，我要活下去，
並且要述說耶和華的作為。
18 耶和華雖嚴厲地管教我，
卻沒有把我置於死地。
19 請你們為我打開正義的門，
我要進去，稱謝耶和華。
20 這是耶和華的門，
義人才可以進去。
21 我要稱謝你，因為你應允了我，
又成了我的拯救。
22 建築工人所棄的石頭，
成了房角的主要石頭；
23 這是耶和華作的，
在我們眼中看為希奇。
24 這是耶和華所定的日子，
我們要在這一日歡喜快樂。
25 耶和華啊！求你施行拯救；
耶和華啊！求你使我們亨通。
26 奉耶和華的名來的是應當稱頌的，
我們從耶和華的殿中給你們祝福。
27 耶和華是 神，他光照了我們。
你們要用繩索把祭牲拴住，帶到祭壇的角那裡（“你們要要用繩索把祭牲拴住，帶到祭壇的角那裡”或譯：“你們要手拿樹枝，開始向祭壇列隊前行”）。
28 你是我的 神，我要稱謝你；
你是我的 神，我要尊崇你。
29 你們要稱謝耶和華，因他本是良善的；
他的慈愛永遠長存。
Psalm 118
Amplified Bible
Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Saving Goodness.
118 O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
2
Oh let Israel say,
“His lovingkindness endures forever.”
3
Oh let the house of Aaron say,
“His lovingkindness endures forever.”
4
Oh let those who [reverently] fear the Lord, say,
“His lovingkindness endures forever.”
5
Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
The Lord answered me and set me free.
6
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
What can [mere] man do to me?(A)
7
The Lord is on my side, He is among those who help me;
Therefore I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me.
8
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in man.
9
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in princes.
10
All nations encompassed me;
In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.
11
They encompassed me, yes, they surrounded me [on every side];
In the name of the Lord I will cut them off.
12
They swarmed around me like bees;
They flare up and are extinguished like a fire of thorns;
In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.(B)
13
You [my enemy] pushed me violently so that I was falling,
But the Lord helped me.
14
The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
15
The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous:
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
16
The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
17
I will not die, but live,
And declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the Lord.
18
The Lord has disciplined me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.(C)
19
Open to me the [temple] gates of righteousness;
I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the Lord.
20
This is the gate of the Lord;
The righteous will enter through it.(D)
21
I will give thanks to You, for You have heard and answered me;
And You have become my salvation [my Rescuer, my Savior].
22
The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the [a]chief corner stone.
23
This is from the Lord and is His doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.(E)
24
This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25
O Lord, save now, we beseech You;
O Lord, we beseech You, send now prosperity and give us success!
26
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord [you who come into His sanctuary under His guardianship].(F)
27
The Lord is God, and He has given us light [illuminating us with His grace and freedom and joy].
Bind the festival sacrifices with [b]cords to the horns of the altar.
28
You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
[You are] my God, I extol You.
29
O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
Footnotes
- Psalm 118:22 This refers either to the prominent stone at the top of a corner tower, or perhaps more likely to the stone at the foundation of a corner, the first stone laid for a structure (cf Eph 2:20). The special significance of the latter is that the shape of its sides determined how the walls were laid out. The verse refers prophetically to Jesus the Messiah (see Matt 21:42 etc.), but the ancient rabbis interpreted it as a reference to David, who started as a humble shepherd, not the background one would expect for a king. Some prophetic passages refer to an event in the past that is a precursor or foreshadowing of the future prophetic event.
- Psalm 118:27 Lit branches. In Jewish tradition this is interpreted as a ritual for the Feast of Booths. The term “festival” is understood as a reference to the lulav, several branches bound together and later placed against the altar so that they reach to the top of the horns and bend over the altar.

5 I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.
11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:
20 This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23 This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
27 God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
