1 A Psalm. Of David. Praise be to the God of my strength, teaching my hands the use of the sword, and my fingers the art of fighting:
2 He is my strength, and my Rock; my high tower, and my saviour; my keeper and my hope: he gives me authority over my people.
3 Lord, what is man, that you keep him in mind? or the son of man that you take him into account?
4 Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone.
5 Come down, O Lord, from your heavens: at your touch let the mountains give out smoke.
6 With your storm-flames send them in flight: send out your arrows for their destruction.
7 Put out your hand from on high; make me free, take me safely out of the great waters, and out of the hands of strange men;
8 In whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
9 I will make a new song to you, O God; I will make melody to you on an instrument of ten cords.
10 It is God who gives salvation to kings; and who kept his servant David from the wounding sword.
11 Make me free, and take me out of the hands of strange men, in whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
12 Our sons are like tall young plants; and our daughters like the shining stones of a king's house;
13 Our store-houses are full of all good things; and our sheep give birth to thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
14 Our oxen are well weighted down; our cows give birth safely; there is no going out, and there is no cry of sorrow in our open places.
15 Happy is the nation whose ways are so ordered: yes, happy is the nation whose God is the Lord.
1 耶和华我的磐石是应当称颂的。他教导我的手作战， 训练我的指头打仗。（本节在《马索拉抄本》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！ 人算什么， 你竟关怀他， 世人算什么， 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。
