Psalms

（亞薩的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。）你們當向神─我們的力量大聲歡呼，向雅各的　神發聲歡樂！

[To the chief Musician upon Gittith, {A Psalm} of Asaph.] Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}

唱起詩歌，打手鼓，彈美琴與瑟。

Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

當在月朔並月望─我們過節的日期吹角，

Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

因這是為以色列定的律例，是雅各神的典章。

For this {was} a statute for Israel, {and} a law of the God of Jacob.

他去攻擊埃及地的時候，在約瑟中間立此為證。我在那裡聽見我所不明白的言語：

This he ordained in Joseph {for} a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: {where} I heard a language {that} I understood not. {through: or, against}

神說：我使你的肩得脫重擔，你的手放下筐子。

I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. {were...: Heb. passed away}

你在急難中呼求，我就搭救你；我在雷的隱密處應允你，在米利巴水那裡試驗你。（細拉）

Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. {Meribah: or, Strife}

我的民哪，你當聽，我要勸戒你；以色列啊，甚願你肯聽從我。

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

在你當中，不可有別的神；外邦的神，你也不可下拜。

There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

我是耶和華─你的神，曾把你從埃及地領上來；你要大大張口，我就給你充滿。

I {am} the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

無奈，我的民不聽我的聲音；以色列全不理我。

But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

我便任憑他們心裡剛硬，隨自己的計謀而行。

So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: {and} they walked in their own counsels. {unto...: or, to the hardness of their hearts, or, imagination}

甚願我的民肯聽從我，以色列肯行我的道，

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, {and} Israel had walked in my ways!

我便速速治服他們的仇敵，反手攻擊他們的敵人。

I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

恨耶和華的人必來投降，但他的百姓必永久長存。

The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. {submitted...: or, yielded feigned obedience: Heb. lied}

他也必拿上好的麥子給他們吃，又拿從磐石出的蜂蜜叫他們飽足。

He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. {finest...: Heb. fat of wheat}
