Psalms

（大衛的詩，交與伶長。調用慕拉便。）我要一心稱謝耶和華；我要傳揚你一切奇妙的作為。

[To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.] I will praise {thee}, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

我要因你歡喜快樂；至高者啊，我要歌頌你的名！

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

我的仇敵轉身退去的時候，他們一見你的面就跌倒滅亡。

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

因你已經為我伸冤，為我辨屈；你坐在寶座上，按公義審判。

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. {maintained...: Heb. made my judgment} {judging right: Heb. judging in righteousness}

你曾斥責外邦，你曾滅絕惡人；你曾塗抹他們的名，直到永永遠遠。

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

仇敵到了盡頭；他們被毀壞，直到永遠。你拆毀他們的城邑，連他們的名號都歸於無有。

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. {O thou...: or, The destructions of the enemy are come to a perpetual end: and their cities hast thou destroyed, etc}

惟耶和華坐著為王，直到永遠；他已經為審判設擺他的寶座。

But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

他要按公義審判世界，按正直判斷萬民。

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

耶和華又要給受欺壓的人作高臺，在患難的時候作高臺。

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. {a refuge: Heb. an high place}

耶和華啊，認識你名的人要倚靠你，因你沒有離棄尋求你的人。

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

應當歌頌居錫安的耶和華，將他所行的傳揚在眾民中。

Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

因為那追討流人血之罪的─他記念受屈的人，不忘記困苦人的哀求。

When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. {humble: or, afflicted}

耶和華啊，你是從死門把我提拔起來的；求你憐恤我，看那恨我的人所加給我的苦難，

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble {which I suffer} of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

好叫我述說你一切的美德；我必在錫安城（原文是女子）的門因你的救恩歡樂。

That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

外邦人陷在自己所掘的坑中；他們的腳在自己暗設的網羅裡纏住了。

The heathen are sunk down in the pit {that} they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

耶和華已將自己顯明了，他已施行審判；惡人被自己手所做的纏住了（或譯：他叫惡人被自己手所做的累住了）。（細拉）

The LORD is known {by} the judgment {which} he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. {Higgaion: that is, Meditation}

惡人，就是忘記神的外邦人，都必歸到陰間。

The wicked shall be turned into hell, {and} all the nations that forget God.

窮乏人必不永久被忘；困苦人的指望必不永遠落空。

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall {not} perish for ever.

耶和華啊，求你起來，不容人得勝！願外邦人在你面前受審判！

Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

耶和華啊，求你使外邦人恐懼；願他們知道自己不過是人。（細拉）

Put them in fear, O LORD: {that} the nations may know themselves {to be but} men. Selah.
