18:1耶和华我的力量阿，我爱你。
I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
18:2耶和华是我的岩石，我的山寨，我的救主，我的神，我的磐石，我所投靠的。他是我的盾牌，是拯救我的角，是我的高台。
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
18:3我要求告当赞美的耶和华。这样我必从仇敌手中被救出来。
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
18:4曾有死亡的绳索缠绕我。匪类的急流使我惊惧。
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
18:5阴间的绳索缠绕我。死亡的网罗临到我。
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
18:6我在急难中求告耶和华，向我的神呼求。他从殿中听了我的声音，我在他面前的呼求入了他的耳中。
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
18:7那时因他发怒，地就摇撼战抖，山的根基也震动摇撼。
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
18:8从他鼻孔冒烟上腾，从他口中发火焚烧。连炭也着了。
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
18:9他又使天下垂，亲自降临。有黑云在他脚下。
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
18:10他坐着基路伯飞行。他藉着风的翅膀快飞。
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
18:11他以黑暗为藏身之处，以水的黑暗，天空的厚云，为他四围的行宫。
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
18:12因他面前的光辉，他的厚云行过。便有冰雹火炭。
At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
18:13耶和华也在天上打雷。至高者发出声音，便有冰雹火炭。
The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
18:14他射出箭来，使仇敌四散。多多发出闪电，使他们扰乱。
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
18:15耶和华阿，你的斥责一发，你鼻孔的气一出，海底就出现，大地的根基也显露。
Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
18:16他从高天伸手抓住我。把我从大水中拉上来。
He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
18:17他救我脱离我的劲敌，和那些恨我的人。因为他们比我强盛。
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18:18我遭遇灾难的日子，他们来攻击我。但耶和华是我的倚靠。
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
18:19他又领我到宽阔之处。他救拔我，因他喜悦我。
He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
18:20耶和华按着我的公义报答我，按着我手中的清洁赏赐我。
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
18:21因为我遵守了耶和华的道，未曾作恶离开我的神。
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
18:22他的一切典章常在我面前。他的律例我也未曾丢弃。
For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
18:23我在他面前作了完全人。我也保守自己远离我的罪孽。
I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
18:24所以耶和华按我的公义，按我在他眼前手中的清洁，偿还我。
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
18:25慈爱的人，你以慈爱待他。完全的人，你以完全待他。
With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
18:26清洁的人，你以清洁待他。乖僻的人，你以弯曲待他。
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
18:27困苦的百姓，你必拯救。高傲的眼目，你必使他降卑。
For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
18:28你必点着我的灯。耶和华我的神必照明我的黑暗。
For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
18:29我藉着你冲入敌军，藉着我的神跳过墙垣。
For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
18:30至于神，他的道是完全的。耶和华的话是炼净的。凡投靠他的，他便作他们的盾牌。
As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
18:31除了耶和华，谁是神呢。除了我们的神，谁是磐石呢。
For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
18:32惟有那以力量束我的腰，使我的行为完全的，他是神。
It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
18:33他使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄，又使我在高处安稳。
He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
18:34他教导我的手能以争战，甚至我的膀臂能开铜弓。
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
18:35你把你的救恩给我作盾牌。你的右手扶持我。你的温和使我为大。
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
18:36你使我脚下的地步宽阔。我的脚未曾滑跌。
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
18:37我要追赶我的仇敌，必要追上他们。不将他们灭绝，我总不归回。
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
18:38我要打伤他们，使他们不能起来。他们必倒在我的脚下。
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
18:39因为你曾以力量束我的腰，使我能争战。你也使那起来攻击我的，都服在我以下。
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
18:40你又使我的仇敌在我面前转背逃跑，叫我能以剪除那恨我的人。
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
18:41他们呼求，却无人拯救，就是呼求耶和华，他也不应允。
They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
18:42我捣碎他们，如同风前的灰尘，倒出他们，如同街上的泥土。
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
18:43你救我脱离百姓的争竞，立我作列国的元首。我素不认识的民必事奉我。
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
18:44他们一听见我的名声，就必顺从我。外邦人要投降我。
As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
18:45外邦人要衰残，战战兢兢的出他们的营寨。
The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
18:46耶和华是活神。愿我的磐石被人称颂。愿救我的神被人尊崇。
The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
18:47这位神，就是那为我伸冤，使众民服在我以下的。
It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
18:48你救我脱离仇敌。又把我举起，高过那些起来攻击我的。你救我脱离强暴的人。
He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
18:49耶和华阿，因此我要在外邦中称谢你，歌颂你的名。
Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
18:50耶和华赐极大的救恩给他所立的王，施慈爱给他的受膏者，就是给大卫和他的后裔，直到永远。
Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
