1 [{A Psalm} of David.] Blessed be Jehovah my rock, who teacheth my hands to war, my fingers to fight;

2 My mercy and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I trust, who subdueth my people under me!

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

4 Man is like to vanity; his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

5 Jehovah, bow thy heavens, and come down; touch the mountains, that they smoke;

6 Cast forth lightnings, and scatter them; send forth thine arrows, and discomfit them:

7 Stretch out thy hands from above; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of aliens,

8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 O God, I will sing a new song unto thee; with the ten-stringed lute will I sing psalms unto thee:

10 Who givest salvation unto kings; who rescuest David thy servant from the hurtful sword.

11 Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of aliens, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; our daughters as corner-columns, sculptured after the fashion of a palace:

13 Our granaries full, affording all manner of store; our sheep bringing forth thousands, ten thousands in our pastures;

14 Our kine laden {with young}; no breaking in and no going forth, and no outcry in our streets.

15 Blessed the people that is in such a case! Blessed the people whose God is Jehovah!

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。
