< 詩篇 108 >
1 【我要在萬民中讚美上主】達味的詩歌。 天主,我的心已準備妥當,我的心已準備妥當,我歌彈詠唱。
A Song. A Psalm. Of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs and melody, even with my glory.
2 我的心靈要醒起來!七絃和豎琴要奏起來!我要喚起曙光。
Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.
3 上主,我要在萬民中讚美您;上主,我要在列邦中歌頌您。
I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.
4 上主,您的慈愛高越諸天;上主,您的忠信直達霄漢。
For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.
5 上主,您在天上備受舉揚;上主,您在地上彰顯榮光。
Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
6 上主,您給我們獲得救恩;上主,您以右手協助我們。
Let your right hand be stretched out for salvation, and give me an answer, so that your loved ones may be safe from danger.
7 天主在自己的聖所說:我要凱旋,將舍根分離,將穌苛特的平原測量。
This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring out the valley of Succoth.
8 基勒阿得地屬於我,默納協地也屬於我,我的頭盔就是厄法辣因,猶大成為我手中的權棍。
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
9 摩阿布是我的沐浴池,我向厄東投我的鞋隻,我還要戰勝培勒舍特。
Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.
Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?
11 天主,莫非您已將我們拋棄,天主,難道不率領我們出擊?
Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.
12 求您援助我們抵抗仇敵,因為人的援助盡屬虛無。
Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.
13 我們倚靠天主,奮勇行事。祂必要踏踐我們的仇敵。
With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.
