诗篇 18
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
稱頌 神的拯救(A)
耶和華的僕人大衛的詩，交給詩班長。在耶和華拯救他脫離所有仇敵和掃羅的手的日子，他向耶和華唱出這首歌的歌詞。他說：
18 耶和華我的力量啊！我愛你。
2 耶和華是我的巖石、我的山寨、我的救主、
我的 神、我的磐石、我所投靠的、
我的盾牌、我救恩的角、我的高臺。
3 我向那當受讚美的耶和華呼求，
就得到拯救，脫離我的仇敵。
4 死亡的繩索環繞我，
毀滅的急流淹沒了我。
5 陰間的繩索圍繞著我，
死亡的網羅迎面而來。
6 急難臨到我的時候，我求告耶和華，
我向我的 神呼求；
他從殿中聽了我的聲音，
我在他面前的呼求進了他的耳中。
7 那時大地搖撼震動，
群山的根基也都動搖，
它們搖撼，是因為耶和華發怒。
8 濃煙從他的鼻孔往上冒，
烈火從他的口中噴出來，
連炭也燒著了。
9 他使天下垂，親自降臨；
在他的腳下黑雲密布。
10 他乘著基路伯飛行，
藉著風的翅膀急飛。
11 他以黑暗作他的隱密處，
他以濃黑的水氣，就是天空的密雲，
作他四周的帷帳。
12 密雲、冰雹與火炭，
從他面前的光輝經過。
13 耶和華在天上打雷，
至高者發出聲音，
發出冰雹和火炭。
14 他射出箭來，使它們四散；
他連連發出閃電，使它們混亂。
15 耶和華斥責一發，
你鼻孔的氣一出，
海底就出現，
大地的根基也顯露。
16 他從高處伸手抓住我，
把我從大水中拉上來。
17 他救我脫離我的強敵，
脫離那些恨我的人，因為他們比我強盛。
18 在我遭難的日子，他們來攻擊我，
但耶和華是我的支持。
19 他又領我出去，到那寬闊之地；
他搭救我，因為他喜悅我。
20 耶和華按著我的公義報答我，
照著我手中的清潔回報我。
21 因為我謹守了耶和華的道，
未曾作惡離開我的 神。
22 因為他的一切典章常擺在我面前，
他的律例，我未曾丟棄。
23 我在他面前作完全的人，
我也謹慎自己，脫離我的罪孽。
24 所以耶和華按著我的公義，
照著我在他眼前手中的清潔回報我。
25 對慈愛的人，你顯出你的慈愛；
對完全的人，你顯出你的完全；
26 對清潔的人，你顯出你的清潔；
對狡詐的人，你顯出你的機巧。
27 謙卑的人，你要拯救；
高傲的眼睛，你要貶低。
28 耶和華啊！你點亮了我的燈；
我的 神照明了我的黑暗。
29 藉著你，我攻破敵軍；
靠著我的 神，我跳過牆垣。
30 這位 神，他的道路是完全的；
耶和華的話是煉淨的；
凡是投靠他的，他都作他們的盾牌。
31 除了耶和華，誰是 神呢？
除了我們的 神，誰是磐石呢？
32 他是那位以能力給我束腰的 神，
他使我的道路完全。
33 他使我的腳像母鹿的蹄，
又使我站穩在高處。
34 他教導我的手怎樣作戰，
又使我的手臂可以拉開銅弓。
35 你把你救恩的盾牌賜給我，
你的右手扶持我，
你的溫柔使我昌大。
36 你使我腳底下的路徑寬闊，
我的兩膝沒有動搖。
37 我追趕仇敵，把他們追上；
不消滅他們，我必不歸回。
38 我重創他們，使他們不能起來；
他們都倒在我的腳下。
39 你以能力給我束腰，使我能夠作戰；
你又使那些起來攻擊我的人都屈服在我的腳下。
40 你使我的仇敵在我面前轉背逃跑，
使我可以殲滅恨我的人。
41 他們呼叫，卻沒有人拯救；
就算向耶和華呼求，他也不答應他們。
42 我搗碎他們，像風前的塵土，
我傾倒他們，像街上的爛泥。
43 你救我脫離了人民的爭競，
你立我作列國的元首；
我不認識的人民要服事我。
44 他們一聽見，就服從我；
外族人都向我假意歸順。
45 外族人大勢已去，
戰戰兢兢地從他們的要塞走出來。
46 耶和華是永活的，我的磐石是應當稱頌的，
拯救我的 神是應當被尊為至高的。
47 他是那位為我伸冤的 神，
他使萬民服在我的腳下。
48 他救我脫離我的仇敵。
你還把我高舉起來，高過那些起來攻擊我的人，
又救我脫離了強暴的人。
49 因此，耶和華啊！我要在列國中稱讚你，歌頌你的名。
50 耶和華賜極大的救恩給他所立的王，
又向他的受膏者施慈愛，
就是向大衛和他的後裔施慈愛，直到永遠。
Psalm 18
New Century Version
A Song of Victory
For the director of music. By the Lord’s servant, David. David sang this song to the Lord when the Lord had saved him from Saul and all his other enemies.
18 I love you, Lord. You are my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, my protection, my Savior.
My God is my rock.
I can run to him for safety.
He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender.
3 I will call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I will be saved from my enemies.
4 The ropes of death came around me;
the deadly rivers overwhelmed me.
5 The ropes of death wrapped around me.
The traps of death were before me.
6 In my trouble I called to the Lord.
I cried out to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my call for help reached his ears.
7 The earth trembled and shook.
The foundations of the mountains began to shake.
They trembled because the Lord was angry.
8 Smoke came out of his nose,
and burning fire came out of his mouth.
Burning coals went before him.
9 He tore open the sky and came down
with dark clouds under his feet.
10 He rode a creature with wings and flew.
He raced on the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his covering, his shelter around him,
surrounded by fog and clouds.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence came clouds
with hail and lightning.
13 The Lord thundered from heaven;
the Most High raised his voice,
and there was hail and lightning.
14 He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies.
His many bolts of lightning confused them with fear.
15 Lord, you spoke strongly.
The wind blew from your nose.
Then the valleys of the sea appeared,
and the foundations of the earth were seen.
16 The Lord reached down from above and took me;
he pulled me from the deep water.
17 He saved me from my powerful enemies,
from those who hated me, because they were too strong for me.
18 They attacked me at my time of trouble,
but the Lord supported me.
19 He took me to a safe place.
Because he delights in me, he saved me.
20 The Lord spared me because I did what was right.
Because I have not done evil, he has rewarded me.
21 I have followed the ways of the Lord;
I have not done evil by turning away from my God.
22 I remember all his laws
and have not broken his rules.
23 I am innocent before him;
I have kept myself from doing evil.
24 The Lord rewarded me because I did what was right,
because I did what the Lord said was right.
25 Lord, you are loyal to those who are loyal,
and you are good to those who are good.
26 You are pure to those who are pure,
but you are against those who are bad.
27 You save the humble,
but you bring down those who are proud.
28 Lord, you give light to my lamp.
My God brightens the darkness around me.
29 With your help I can attack an army.
With God’s help I can jump over a wall.
30 The ways of God are without fault.
The Lord’s words are pure.
He is a shield to those who trust him.
31 Who is God? Only the Lord.
Who is the Rock? Only our God.
32 God is my protection.
He makes my way free from fault.
33 He makes me like a deer that does not stumble;
he helps me stand on the steep mountains.
34 He trains my hands for battle
so my arms can bend a bronze bow.
35 You protect me with your saving shield.
You support me with your right hand.
You have stooped to make me great.
36 You give me a better way to live,
so I live as you want me to.
37 I chased my enemies and caught them.
I did not quit until they were destroyed.
38 I crushed them so they couldn’t rise up again.
They fell beneath my feet.
39 You gave me strength in battle.
You made my enemies bow before me.
40 You made my enemies turn back,
and I destroyed those who hated me.
41 They called for help,
but no one came to save them.
They called to the Lord,
but he did not answer them.
42 I beat my enemies into pieces, like dust in the wind.
I poured them out like mud in the streets.
43 You saved me when the people attacked me.
You made me the leader of nations.
People I never knew serve me.
44 As soon as they hear me, they obey me.
Foreigners obey me.
45 They all become afraid
and tremble in their hiding places.
46 The Lord lives!
May my Rock be praised.
Praise the God who saves me!
47 God gives me victory over my enemies
and brings people under my rule.
48 He saves me from my enemies.
You set me over those who hate me.
You saved me from violent people.
49 So I will praise you, Lord, among the nations.
I will sing praises to your name.
50 The Lord gives great victories to his king.
He is loyal to his appointed king,
to David and his descendants forever.
