撒母耳記下 22
1 當耶和華救大衛脫離一切仇敵和掃羅之手的日子，他向耶和華念這詩，
David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 說： 耶和華是我的巖石， 我的山寨，我的救主，
and he said, "The LORD is my Rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.
3 我的上帝，我的磐石，我所投靠的。 他是我的盾牌，是拯救我的角， 是我的高臺，是我的避難所。 我的救主啊，你是救我脫離強暴的。
My God, my Rock, in him I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; from violent people he saves me.
4 我要求告當讚美的耶和華， 這樣，我必從仇敵手中被救出來。
I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
5 曾有死亡的波浪環繞我， 匪類的急流使我驚懼，
For the waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me. (Sheol h7585)
7 我在急難中求告耶和華， 向我的上帝呼求。 他從殿中聽了我的聲音； 我的呼求入了他的耳中。
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and I cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came into his ears.
8 那時因他發怒，地就搖撼戰抖； 天的根基也震動搖撼。
Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
9 從他鼻孔冒煙上騰； 從他口中發火焚燒，連炭也着了。
Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
10 他又使天下垂，親自降臨； 有黑雲在他腳下。
He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
11 他坐着基路伯飛行， 在風的翅膀上顯現。
He rode on a cherub, and flew; and he glided on the wings of the wind.
12 他以黑暗和聚集的水、 天空的厚雲為他四圍的行宮。
He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
13 因他面前的光輝炭都着了。
From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.
14 耶和華從天上打雷； 至高者發出聲音。
The LORD thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.
15 他射出箭來，使仇敵四散， 發出閃電，使他們擾亂。
And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.
16 耶和華的斥責一發，鼻孔的氣一出， 海底就出現，大地的根基也顯露。
Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 他從高天伸手抓住我， 把我從大水中拉上來。
He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
18 他救我脫離我的勁敵和那些恨我的人， 因為他們比我強盛。
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19 我遭遇災難的日子，他們來攻擊我； 但耶和華是我的倚靠。
They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
20 他又領我到寬闊之處； 他救拔我，因他喜悅我。
He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 耶和華按着我的公義報答我， 按着我手中的清潔賞賜我。
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
22 因為我遵守了耶和華的道， 未曾作惡離開我的上帝。
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 他的一切典章常在我面前； 他的律例，我也未曾離棄。
For all his ordinances were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me.
24 我在他面前作了完全人； 我也保守自己遠離我的罪孽。
I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
25 所以耶和華按我的公義， 按我在他眼前的清潔賞賜我。
Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
26 慈愛的人，你以慈愛待他； 完全的人，你以完全待他；
With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
27 清潔的人，你以清潔待他； 乖僻的人，你以彎曲待他。
With the pure you show yourself pure. And with the crooked you show yourself tortuous.
28 困苦的百姓，你必拯救； 但你的眼目察看高傲的人，使他降卑。
You save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
29 耶和華啊，你是我的燈； 耶和華必照明我的黑暗。
For you light my lamp. The LORD my God lights up my darkness.
30 我藉着你衝入敵軍， 藉着我的上帝跳過牆垣。
For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
31 至於上帝，他的道是完全的； 耶和華的話是煉淨的。 凡投靠他的，他便作他們的盾牌。
As for God, his way is perfect. The word of the LORD is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
32 除了耶和華，誰是上帝呢？ 除了我們的上帝，誰是磐石呢？
For who is God, besides the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,
33 上帝是我堅固的保障； 他引導完全人行他的路。
the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
34 他使我的腳快如母鹿的蹄， 又使我在高處安穩。
He makes my feet like those of a deer, and sets me on my high places.
35 他教導我的手能以爭戰， 甚至我的膀臂能開銅弓。
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
36 你把你的救恩給我作盾牌； 你的溫和使我為大。
You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made me great.
37 你使我腳下的地步寬闊； 我的腳未曾滑跌。
You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.
38 我追趕我的仇敵，滅絕了他們， 未滅以先，我沒有歸回。
I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
39 我滅絕了他們， 打傷了他們，使他們不能起來； 他們都倒在我的腳下。
And I consumed them, and struck them through, so that they did not rise. And they fell beneath my feet.
40 因為你曾以力量束我的腰，使我能爭戰； 你也使那起來攻擊我的都服在我以下。
For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
41 你又使我的仇敵在我面前轉背逃跑， 叫我能以剪除那恨我的人。
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
42 他們仰望，卻無人拯救； 就是呼求耶和華，他也不應允。
They cry out, but there was none to save; even to the LORD, but he did not answer them.
43 我搗碎他們，如同地上的灰塵， 踐踏他們，四散在地，如同街上的泥土。
Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
44 你救我脫離我百姓的爭競， 保護我作列國的元首； 我素不認識的民必事奉我。
You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.
45 外邦人要投降我， 一聽見我的名聲就必順從我。
As soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
46 外邦人要衰殘， 戰戰兢兢地出他們的營寨。
they are not bound in chains.
47 耶和華是活神，願我的磐石被人稱頌！ 願上帝－那拯救我的磐石被人尊崇！
The LORD lives. Blessed be my rock. Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
48 這位上帝就是那為我伸冤、 使眾民服在我以下的。
even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me,
49 你救我脫離仇敵， 又把我舉起，高過那些起來攻擊我的； 你救我脫離強暴的人。
who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You protect me from the violent man.
50 耶和華啊，因此我要在外邦中稱謝你， 歌頌你的名。
Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
51 耶和華賜極大的救恩給他所立的王， 施慈愛給他的受膏者， 就是給大衛和他的後裔， 直到永遠！
He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever."
