- 18:0
-
耶和华的仆人大卫的诗,交与歌咏长;当耶和华救他脱离一切仇敌和扫罗之手的日子,他向耶和华念这歌的话,说:
- 18:1 I love You, O Jehovah, my strength.
-
耶和华我的力量阿,我爱你。
- 18:2 Jehovah is my crag and my fortress and my Deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my high retreat.
-
耶和华是我的岩石,我的山寨,我的解救者;是我的神,我的磐石,我所投靠的;是我的盾牌,拯救我的角,我的高台。

从祂鼻孔冒烟上腾,从祂口中发火焚烧;连炭也烧着了。

祂乘坐基路伯飞行;祂驾御风的翅膀快飞。
- 18:11 He made darkness His hiding place, His pavilion around Him: Dark waterclouds, thick clouds of the skies.

-
耶和华阿,你的斥责一发,你鼻孔的气一出,海底就出现,居人之地的根基也显露。
- 18:16 He reached forth from on high; He took me; He drew me out of great waters.
-
祂从高天伸手抓住我,把我从大水中拉上来。
- 18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy And from those who hate me, for they were too mighty for me.

所以耶和华按我的公义,按我在祂眼前手中的清洁回报我。
- 18:25 With the faithful You show Yourself faithful, With a perfect man You show Yourself perfect,
-
慈爱的人,你以慈爱待他;完全的人,你以完全待他。
- 18:26 With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the perverse You show Yourself contrary.
-
纯洁的人,你以纯洁待他;乖僻的人,你以弯曲待他。
- 18:27 For it is You who save the afflicted people, But the haughty eyes You bring down;
-
因为你必拯救困苦的百姓,却使高傲的眼目降卑;
- 18:28 For it is You who light my lamp; Jehovah my God lights up my darkness;

你必点亮我的灯;耶和华我的神必照明我的黑暗。

-
惟有那以力量束我的腰,使我道路完全的,祂是神;
- 18:33 Who makes my feet like hinds' feet And sets me on my high places,

祂使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄,又使我在高处站稳;
