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。
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.
