诗篇 18
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
称颂 神的拯救(A)
耶和华的仆人大卫的诗，交给诗班长。在耶和华拯救他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：
18 耶和华我的力量啊！我爱你。
2 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。
3 我向那当受赞美的耶和华呼求，
就得到拯救，脱离我的仇敌。
4 死亡的绳索环绕我，
毁灭的急流淹没了我。
5 阴间的绳索围绕着我，
死亡的网罗迎面而来。
6 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，
我在他面前的呼求进了他的耳中。
7 那时大地摇撼震动，
群山的根基也都动摇，
它们摇撼，是因为耶和华发怒。
8 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。
9 他使天下垂，亲自降临；
在他的脚下黑云密布。
10 他乘着基路伯飞行，
借着风的翅膀急飞。
11 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。
12 密云、冰雹与火炭，
从他面前的光辉经过。
13 耶和华在天上打雷，
至高者发出声音，
发出冰雹和火炭。
14 他射出箭来，使它们四散；
他连连发出闪电，使它们混乱。
15 耶和华斥责一发，
你鼻孔的气一出，
海底就出现，
大地的根基也显露。
16 他从高处伸手抓住我，
把我从大水中拉上来。
17 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。
18 在我遭难的日子，他们来攻击我，
但耶和华是我的支持。
19 他又领我出去，到那宽阔之地；
他搭救我，因为他喜悦我。
20 耶和华按着我的公义报答我，
照着我手中的清洁回报我。
21 因为我谨守了耶和华的道，
未曾作恶离开我的 神。
22 因为他的一切典章常摆在我面前，
他的律例，我未曾丢弃。
23 我在他面前作完全的人，
我也谨慎自己，脱离我的罪孽。
24 所以耶和华按着我的公义，
照着我在他眼前手中的清洁回报我。
25 对慈爱的人，你显出你的慈爱；
对完全的人，你显出你的完全；
26 对清洁的人，你显出你的清洁；
对狡诈的人，你显出你的机巧。
27 谦卑的人，你要拯救；
高傲的眼睛，你要贬低。
28 耶和华啊！你点亮了我的灯；
我的 神照明了我的黑暗。
29 借着你，我攻破敌军；
靠着我的 神，我跳过墙垣。
30 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。
31 除了耶和华，谁是 神呢？
除了我们的 神，谁是盘石呢？
32 他是那位以能力给我束腰的 神，
他使我的道路完全。
33 他使我的脚像母鹿的蹄，
又使我站稳在高处。
34 他教导我的手怎样作战，
又使我的手臂可以拉开铜弓。
35 你把你救恩的盾牌赐给我，
你的右手扶持我，
你的温柔使我昌大。
36 你使我脚底下的路径宽阔，
我的两膝没有动摇。
37 我追赶仇敌，把他们追上；
不消灭他们，我必不归回。
38 我重创他们，使他们不能起来；
他们都倒在我的脚下。
39 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。
40 你使我的仇敌在我面前转背逃跑，
使我可以歼灭恨我的人。
41 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。
42 我捣碎他们，像风前的尘土，
我倾倒他们，像街上的烂泥。
43 你救我脱离了人民的争竞，
你立我作列国的元首；
我不认识的人民要服事我。
44 他们一听见，就服从我；
外族人都向我假意归顺。
45 外族人大势已去，
战战兢兢地从他们的要塞走出来。
46 耶和华是永活的，我的盘石是应当称颂的，
拯救我的 神是应当被尊为至高的。
47 他是那位为我伸冤的 神，
他使万民服在我的脚下。
48 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。
49 因此，耶和华啊！我要在列国中称赞你，歌颂你的名。
50 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。
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.

Psalm 18
Praise for Deliverance
For the choir director. Of the servant of the Lord, David, who spoke the words of this song to the Lord on the day the Lord rescued him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.(A) He said:
1 I love You, Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock,
my fortress, and my deliverer,(B)
my God, my mountain where I seek refuge,
my shield(C) and the horn of my salvation,(D)
my stronghold.
3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,(E)
and I was saved from my enemies.(F)
4 The ropes of death were wrapped around me;
the torrents of destruction terrified me.(G)
5 The ropes of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.(H)
6 I called to the Lord in my distress,
and I cried to my God for help.
From His temple He heard my voice,(I)
and my cry to Him reached His ears.(J)
7 Then the earth shook and quaked;
the foundations of the mountains trembled;(K)
they shook because He burned with anger.
8 Smoke rose from His nostrils,
and consuming fire came from His mouth;
coals were set ablaze by it.[a](L)
9 He parted the heavens and came down,(M)
a dark cloud beneath His feet.
10 He rode on a cherub and flew,
soaring on the wings of the wind.(N)
11 He made darkness His hiding place,
dark storm clouds His canopy around Him.(O)
12 From the radiance of His presence,(P)
His clouds swept onward with hail and blazing coals.
13 The Lord thundered from[b] heaven;
the Most High projected His voice.[c](Q)
14 He shot His arrows and scattered them;
He hurled[d] lightning bolts and routed them.(R)
15 The depths of the sea became visible,
the foundations of the world were exposed,
at Your rebuke, Lord,
at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.(S)
16 He reached down from heaven
and took hold of me;
He pulled me out of deep waters.(T)
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were too strong for me.(U)
18 They confronted me in the day of my distress,
but the Lord was my support.(V)
19 He brought me out to a spacious place;(W)
He rescued me because He delighted in me.(X)
20 The Lord rewarded me
according to my righteousness;(Y)
He repaid me
according to the cleanness of my hands.(Z)
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord
and have not turned from my God to wickedness.(AA)
22 Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind[e]
and have not disregarded His statutes.(AB)
23 I was blameless toward Him(AC)
and kept myself from sinning.
24 So the Lord repaid me
according to my righteousness,(AD)
according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.(AE)
25 With the faithful
You prove Yourself faithful;
with the blameless man
You prove Yourself blameless;
26 with the pure
You prove Yourself pure,
but with the crooked
You prove Yourself shrewd.(AF)
27 For You rescue an afflicted people,(AG)
but You humble those with haughty eyes.(AH)
28 Lord, You light my lamp;
my God illuminates my darkness.(AI)
29 With You I can attack a barrier,[f]
and with my God I can leap over a wall.(AJ)
30 God—His way is perfect;(AK)
the word of the Lord is pure.(AL)
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.(AM)
31 For who is God besides Yahweh?(AN)
And who is a rock? Only our God.(AO)
32 God—He clothes me with strength(AP)
and makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer(AQ)
and sets me securely on the heights.[g](AR)
34 He trains my hands for war;(AS)
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.(AT)
35 You have given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand upholds me,(AU)
and Your humility exalts me.
36 You widen a place beneath me for my steps,(AV)
and my ankles do not give way.(AW)
37 I pursue my enemies and overtake them;
I do not turn back until they are wiped out.(AX)
38 I crush them, and they cannot get up;
they fall beneath my feet.(AY)
39 You have clothed me with strength for battle;(AZ)
You subdue my adversaries beneath me.(BA)
40 You have made my enemies retreat before me;[h](BB)
I annihilate those who hate me.(BC)
41 They cry for help, but there is no one to save them(BD)—
they cry to the Lord, but He does not answer them.(BE)
42 I pulverize them like dust before the wind;(BF)
I trample them[i] like mud in the streets.(BG)
43 You have freed me from the feuds among the people;
You have appointed me the head of nations;(BH)
a people I had not known serve me.(BI)
44 Foreigners submit to me grudgingly;
as soon as they hear,[j] they obey me.(BJ)
45 Foreigners lose heart
and come trembling from their fortifications.(BK)
46 The Lord lives—may my rock be praised!
The God of my salvation is exalted.(BL)
47 God—He gives me vengeance(BM)
and subdues peoples under me.(BN)
48 He frees me from my enemies.
You exalt me above my adversaries;
You rescue me from violent men.(BO)
49 Therefore I will praise You, Yahweh, among the nations;
I will sing about Your name.(BP)
50 He gives great victories to His king;(BQ)
He shows loyalty to His anointed,
to David and his descendants forever.(BR)
