Psalms

（大衛的詩歌，交與伶長。）神啊，錫安的人都等候讚美你；所許的願也要向你償還。

[To the chief Musician, A Psalm {and} Song of David.] Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. {waiteth: Heb. is silent}

聽禱告的主啊，凡有血氣的都要來就你。

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

罪孽勝了我；至於我們的過犯，你都要赦免。

Iniquities prevail against me: {as for} our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. {iniquities: Heb. Words, or, Matters of iniquities}

你所揀選、使他親近你、住在你院中的，這人便為有福！我們必因你居所、你聖殿的美福知足了。

Blessed {is the man whom} thou choosest, and causest to approach {unto thee, that} he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, {even} of thy holy temple.

拯救我們的神啊，你必以威嚴秉公義應允我們；你本是一切地極和海上遠處的人所倚靠的。

{By} terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; {who art} the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off {upon} the sea:

他既以大能束腰，就用力量安定諸山，

Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; {being} girded with power:

使諸海的響聲和其中波浪的響聲，並萬民的喧嘩，都平靜了。

Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

住在地極的人因你的神蹟懼怕；你使日出日落之地都歡呼。

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. {rejoice: or, sing}

你眷顧地，降下透雨，使地大得肥美。神的河滿了水；你這樣澆灌了地，好為人預備五穀。

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, {which} is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. {and...: or, after thou hadst made it to desire rain}

你澆透地的犁溝，潤平犁脊，降甘霖，使地軟和；其中發長的，蒙你賜福。

Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. {settlest: or, causest rain to descend into} {makest...: Heb. dissolvest it}

你以恩典為年歲的冠冕；你的路徑都滴下脂油，

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. {with: Heb. of}

滴在曠野的草場上。小山以歡樂束腰；

They drop {upon} the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. {rejoice...: Heb. are girded with joy}

草場以羊群為衣；谷中也長滿了五穀。這一切都歡呼歌唱。

The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
