A Psalm of David.

1 Blessed be Jehovah my rock,

Who teacheth my hands to war,

And my fingers to fight:

2 My lovingkindness, and my fortress,

My high tower, and my deliverer;

My shield, and he in whom I take refuge;

Who subdueth my people under me.

3 Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him?

Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

4 Man is like to vanity:

His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

5 Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down:

Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them;

Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.

7 Stretch forth thy hand from above;

Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters,

Out of the hand of aliens;

8 Whose mouth speaketh deceit,

And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God:

Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

10 Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings;

Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

11 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens,

Whose mouth speaketh deceit,

And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth,

And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

13 When our garners are full, affording all manner of store,

And our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

14 When our oxen are well laden;

When there is no breaking in, and no going forth,

And no outcry in our streets:

15 Happy is the people that is in such a case;

Yea, happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.

大卫的诗。 1 耶和华我的盘石是应当称颂的。

他教导我的手作战，

训练我的指头打仗。*本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题

2 他是我慈爱的　神、我的堡垒、

我的高台、我的救主、

我的盾牌、我所投靠的，

他使我的人民服在我以下。

3 耶和华啊！人算甚么，你竟关怀他，

世人算甚么，你竟眷念他。

4 人不过像一口气，

他的年日仿佛影子消逝。

5 耶和华啊！求你使天下垂，亲自降临；

求你触摸群山，使山冒烟。

6 求你发出闪电，使仇敌四散；

求你射出你的箭，使他们溃乱。

7 求你从高天伸手救拔我，

从大水之中，从外族人的手里拯救我。

8 他们的口说虚谎的话，

他们举起右手起假誓。

9 　神啊！我要向你唱新歌，

我要用十弦琴向你歌唱。

10 你是那使君王得胜的，

是那救拔你*"你"原文作"他"仆人大卫脱离杀人的刀的。

11 求你救拔我，从外族人的手里拯救我；

他们的口说虚谎的话，

他们举起右手起假誓。

12 愿我们的儿子，在幼年时都像旺盛的树木；

愿我们的女儿如同殿四角的柱子，为建造殿宇而凿成的。

13 愿我们的仓库满溢，

各种粮食不缺；

愿我们牧场上的羊群，孳生千万。

14 愿我们的牛群满驮货物；

城墙没有缺口，没有人出去争战*"愿我们……出去争战"或译："愿我们的牛群多生多养，没有流产，没有死掉"，

在我们的街上也没有呼叫的声音。

15 得享这样景况的人民，是有福的，

有耶和华作他们　神的，这人是有福的。
