诗篇 18
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
大卫的胜利之歌
耶和华的仆人大卫的诗，交给乐长。当时耶和华从众仇敌和扫罗手中拯救了他，他向耶和华吟唱此诗。
18 耶和华啊，你是我的力量，
我爱你。
2 耶和华是我的磐石，我的堡垒，我的拯救者；
我的上帝是保护我的磐石，
我的盾牌，
是拯救我的力量，我的堡垒。
3 我求告当受颂赞的耶和华，
祂救我脱离仇敌。
4 死亡的锁链曾缠住我，
罪恶的狂流曾淹没我。
5 阴间的绳索曾捆绑我，
死亡的陷阱曾威胁我。
6 在苦难中我呼求耶和华，
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 祂一发怒，大地震动，
山的根基摇晃。
8 祂的鼻孔冒烟，
口喷烈焰和火炭。
9 祂拨开云天，脚踩密云，
亲自降临。
10 祂乘着基路伯天使飞翔，
乘着风的翅膀疾驰。
11 祂藏身于黑暗中，
四围以密云作幔幕。
12 从祂面前的荣光中，
冰雹和火炭冲破云层。
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 祂射出利箭驱散仇敌，
发出闪电击溃他们。
15 耶和华啊，你斥责一声，
鼻孔一吹气，海底就显现，
大地也露出根基。
16 祂从高天伸手抓住我，
从深渊中把我拉上来。
17 祂救我脱离强敌，
脱离我无法战胜的仇敌。
18 他们在我危难之时攻击我，
但耶和华扶持我。
19 祂拯救我，领我到宽阔之地，
因为祂喜悦我。
20 耶和华因我公义而善待我，
因我清白而赏赐我，
21 因为我坚守祂的道，
没有作恶背弃我的上帝。
22 我遵守祂的一切法令，
没有把祂的律例弃置一旁。
23 我在祂面前纯全无过，
没有沾染罪恶。
24 耶和华因我公义、
在祂面前清白而奖赏我。
25 仁慈的人，你以仁慈待他；
纯全的人，你以纯全待他；
26 纯洁的人，你以纯洁待他；
心术不正的人，你以计谋待他。
27 你搭救谦卑的人，
贬抑眼目高傲的人。
28 我的上帝耶和华啊，
你是我的明灯，
你使我的黑暗变为光明。
29 我倚靠你的力量迎战敌军，
靠着我的上帝跃过墙垣。
30 上帝的道完美，
耶和华的话纯全，
祂是投靠祂之人的盾牌。
31 除了耶和华以外，谁是上帝呢？
除了我们的上帝，谁是磐石呢？
32 是上帝赐我力量，
使我行为纯全。
33 祂使我的脚如母鹿的蹄，
稳踏在高处。
34 祂训练我，
使我的手能争战、
我的臂膀能拉开铜弓。
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 你使我脚下的道路宽阔，
不致滑倒。
37 我追赶仇敌直到追上，
不消灭他们决不回头。
38 我打垮他们，
使他们倒在我的脚下，
再也站不起来。
39 你赐我征战的能力，
使我的仇敌降服在我脚下。
40 你使我的仇敌狼狈而逃，
我歼灭了恨我的人。
41 他们高声求救，却无人搭救；
他们呼求耶和华，祂也不应允。
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 你救我脱离我百姓的攻击，
立我做列国的元首。
素不认识的民族也归顺我。
44 他们望风而降，
外族人对我俯首称臣。
45 外族人闻风丧胆，
战战兢兢地走出他们的城池。
46 耶和华永远活着，
保护我的磐石当受颂赞，
拯救我的上帝当受尊崇。
47 祂是为我申冤的上帝，
祂使列邦臣服于我。
48 祂救我脱离仇敌，
使我胜过强敌，
拯救我脱离残暴之徒。
49 因此，耶和华啊，
我要在列邦中赞美你，
歌颂你的名。
50 你使你立的王大获全胜，
向你膏立的大卫及其后代广施慈爱，直到永远。
Psalm 18
New King James Version
God the Sovereign Savior(A)
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David (B)the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of (C)this song on the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said:
18 I (D)will love You, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my [a]strength, (E)in whom I will trust;
My shield and the [b]horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I will call upon the Lord, (F)who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.
4 (G)The pangs of death surrounded me,
And the floods of [c]ungodliness made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,
And cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.
7 (H)Then the earth shook and trembled;
The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,
Because He was angry.
8 Smoke went up from His nostrils,
And devouring fire from His mouth;
Coals were kindled by it.
9 (I)He bowed the heavens also, and came down
With darkness under His feet.
10 (J)And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
(K)He flew upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness His secret place;
(L)His canopy around Him was dark waters
And thick clouds of the skies.
12 (M)From the brightness before Him,
His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.
13 The Lord thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered (N)His voice,
[d]Hailstones and coals of fire.
14 (O)He sent out His arrows and scattered [e]the foe,
Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.
15 Then the channels of the sea were seen,
The foundations of the world were uncovered
At Your rebuke, O Lord,
At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
16 (P)He sent from above, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me,
For they were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the Lord was my support.
19 (Q)He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.
20 (R)The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all His judgments were before me,
And I did not put away His statutes from me.
23 I was also blameless [f]before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 (S)Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25 (T)With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;
With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;
And (U)with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
27 For You will save the humble people,
But will bring down (V)haughty looks.
28 (W)For You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by You I can [g]run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.
30 As for God, (X)His way is perfect;
(Y)The word of the Lord is [h]proven;
He is a shield (Z)to all who trust in Him.
31 (AA)For who is God, except the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?
32 It is God who (AB)arms me with strength,
And makes my way perfect.
33 (AC)He makes my feet like the feet of deer,
And (AD)sets me on my high places.
34 (AE)He teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand has held me up,
Your gentleness has made me great.
36 You enlarged my path under me,
(AF)So my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
38 I have wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen under my feet.
39 For You have armed me with strength for the battle;
You have [i]subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies,
So that I destroyed those who hated me.
41 They cried out, but there was none to save;
(AG)Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.
42 Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;
I (AH)cast them out like dirt in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people;
(AI)You have made me the head of the [j]nations;
(AJ)A people I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me they obey me;
The foreigners [k]submit to me.
45 (AK)The foreigners fade away,
And come frightened from their hideouts.
46 The Lord lives!
Blessed be my Rock!
Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God who avenges me,
(AL)And subdues the peoples under me;
48 He delivers me from my enemies.
(AM)You also lift me up above those who rise against me;
You have delivered me from the violent man.
49 (AN)Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the [l]Gentiles,
And sing praises to Your name.
50 (AO)Great deliverance He gives to His king,
And shows mercy to His anointed,
To David and his [m]descendants forevermore.

English Standard Version
The Lord Is My Rock and My Fortress
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, (A)the servant of the Lord, (B)who addressed the words of this (C)song to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said:
18 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my (D)rock and my (E)fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my (F)rock, in (G)whom I take refuge,
my (H)shield, and (I)the horn of my salvation, my (J)stronghold.
3 I call upon the Lord, who is (K)worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
4 (L)The cords of death encompassed me;
(M)the torrents of destruction assailed me;[a]
5 (N)the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
6 (O)In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his (P)temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.
7 Then the earth (Q)reeled and rocked;
the foundations also of the mountains trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
8 Smoke went up from his nostrils,[b]
and devouring (R)fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
9 He (S)bowed the heavens and (T)came down;
(U)thick darkness was under his feet.
10 He rode on a cherub and flew;
he came swiftly on (V)the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his covering, his (W)canopy around him,
thick clouds (X)dark with water.
12 Out of the brightness before him
(Y)hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.
13 The Lord also (Z)thundered in the heavens,
and the Most High uttered his (AA)voice,
hailstones and coals of fire.
14 And he sent out his (AB)arrows and scattered them;
he flashed forth lightnings and (AC)routed them.
15 Then (AD)the channels of the sea were seen,
and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at your (AE)rebuke, O Lord,
at the blast of (AF)the breath of your nostrils.
16 He (AG)sent from on high, he took me;
he (AH)drew me out of (AI)many waters.
17 He rescued me from my strong enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were (AJ)too mighty for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the Lord was my support.
19 He brought me out into (AK)a broad place;
he rescued me, because he (AL)delighted in me.
20 The Lord dealt with me (AM)according to my righteousness;
according to (AN)the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
21 For I have (AO)kept the ways of the Lord,
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For (AP)all his rules[c] were before me,
and his statutes I did not put away from me.
23 I was (AQ)blameless before him,
and I kept myself from my guilt.
24 So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 With (AR)the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
26 with the purified you show yourself pure;
and with (AS)the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
27 For you save (AT)a humble people,
but (AU)the haughty eyes you bring down.
28 For it is you who light my (AV)lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness.
29 For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can (AW)leap over (AX)a wall.
30 This God—his way is (AY)perfect;[d]
the word of the Lord (AZ)proves true;
he is (BA)a shield for all those who (BB)take refuge in him.
31 For (BC)who is God, but the Lord?
And who is (BD)a rock, except our God?—
32 the God who (BE)equipped me with strength
and made my way (BF)blameless.
33 He made my feet like the feet of a (BG)deer
and set me secure on (BH)the heights.
34 He (BI)trains my hands for war,
so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand (BJ)supported me,
and your (BK)gentleness made me great.
36 You (BL)gave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
and did not turn back till they were consumed.
38 I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise;
they fell under my feet.
39 For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
you made those who rise against me sink under me.
40 You made my enemies (BM)turn their backs to me,[e]
and those who hated me I destroyed.
41 (BN)They cried for help, but there was none to save;
they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
42 I beat them fine as (BO)dust before the wind;
I cast them out like (BP)the mire of the streets.
43 You delivered me from (BQ)strife with the people;
you made me (BR)the head of the nations;
(BS)people whom I had not known served me.
44 As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me;
(BT)foreigners (BU)came cringing to me.
45 (BV)Foreigners lost heart
and (BW)came trembling out of their fortresses.
46 The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,
and exalted be the God of my salvation—
47 the God who gave me vengeance
and (BX)subdued peoples under me,
48 who rescued me from my enemies;
yes, you (BY)exalted me above those who rose against me;
you delivered me from (BZ)the man of violence.
49 (CA)For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,
and (CB)sing to your name.
50 Great (CC)salvation he brings to his king,
and shows steadfast love to his (CD)anointed,
to (CE)David and his offspring forever.
