Psalms

（大衛在亞比米勒面前裝瘋，被他趕出去，就作這詩。）我要時時稱頌耶和華；讚美他的話必常在我口中。

[{A Psalm} of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.] I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise {shall} continually {be} in my mouth. {Abimelech: or, Achish}

我的心必因耶和華誇耀；謙卑人聽見就要喜樂。

My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear {thereof}, and be glad.

你們和我當稱耶和華為大，一同高舉他的名。

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

我曾尋求耶和華，他就應允我，救我脫離了一切的恐懼。

I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

凡仰望他的，便有光榮；他們的臉必不蒙羞。

They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. {were lightened: or, they flowed unto him}

我這困苦人呼求，耶和華便垂聽，救我脫離一切患難。

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard {him}, and saved him out of all his troubles.

耶和華的使者在敬畏他的人四圍安營，搭救他們。

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

你們要嘗嘗主恩的滋味，便知道他是美善；投靠他的人有福了！

O taste and see that the LORD {is} good: blessed {is} the man {that} trusteth in him.

耶和華的聖民哪，你們當敬畏他，因敬畏他的一無所缺。

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for {there is} no want to them that fear him.

少壯獅子還缺食忍餓，但尋求耶和華的甚麼好處都不缺。

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good {thing}.

眾弟子啊，你們當來聽我的話！我要將敬畏耶和華的道教訓你們。

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

有何人喜好存活，愛慕長壽，得享美福，

What man {is he that} desireth life, {and} loveth {many} days, that he may see good?

就要禁止舌頭不出惡言，嘴唇不說詭詐的話。

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

要離惡行善，尋求和睦，一心追趕。

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

耶和華的眼目看顧義人；他的耳朵聽他們的呼求。

The eyes of the LORD {are} upon the righteous, and his ears {are open} unto their cry.

耶和華向行惡的人變臉，要從世上除滅他們的名號。

The face of the LORD {is} against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

義人呼求，耶和華聽見了，便救他們脫離一切患難。

{The righteous} cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

耶和華靠近傷心的人，拯救靈性痛悔的人。

The LORD {is} nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. {unto...: Heb. to the broken of heart} {of a contrite...: Heb. contrite of spirit}

義人多有苦難，但耶和華救他脫離這一切，

Many {are} the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

又保全他一身的骨頭，連一根也不折斷。

He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

惡必害死惡人；恨惡義人的，必被定罪。

Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. {desolate: or, guilty}

耶和華救贖他僕人的靈魂；凡投靠他的，必不致定罪。

The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. {desolate: or, guilty}
