< 2 Samuel 22 >
1 And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
当耶和华救大卫脱离一切仇敌和扫罗之手的日子,他向耶和华念这诗,
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
说: 耶和华是我的岩石, 我的山寨,我的救主,
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; you save me from violence.
我的 神,我的磐石,我所投靠的。 他是我的盾牌,是拯救我的角, 是我的高台,是我的避难所。 我的救主啊,你是救我脱离强暴的。
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
我要求告当赞美的耶和华, 这样,我必从仇敌手中被救出来。
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
曾有死亡的波浪环绕我, 匪类的急流使我惊惧,
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; (Sheol )
阴间的绳索缠绕我, 死亡的网罗临到我。 (Sheol )
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
我在急难中求告耶和华, 向我的 神呼求。 他从殿中听了我的声音; 我的呼求入了他的耳中。
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was angry.
那时因他发怒,地就摇撼战抖; 天的根基也震动摇撼。
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
从他鼻孔冒烟上腾; 从他口中发火焚烧,连炭也着了。
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
他又使天下垂,亲自降临; 有黑云在他脚下。
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
他坐着基路伯飞行, 在风的翅膀上显现。
12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
他以黑暗和聚集的水、 天空的厚云为他四围的行宫。
13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
因他面前的光辉炭都着了。
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
耶和华从天上打雷; 至高者发出声音。
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and humiliated them.
他射出箭来,使仇敌四散, 发出闪电,使他们扰乱。
16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
耶和华的斥责一发,鼻孔的气一出, 海底就出现,大地的根基也显露。
17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
他从高天伸手抓住我, 把我从大水中拉上来。
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
他救我脱离我的劲敌和那些恨我的人, 因为他们比我强盛。
19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
我遭遇灾难的日子,他们来攻击我; 但耶和华是我的倚靠。
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
他又领我到宽阔之处; 他救拔我,因他喜悦我。
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
耶和华按着我的公义报答我, 按着我手中的清洁赏赐我。
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
因为我遵守了耶和华的道, 未曾作恶离开我的 神。
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
他的一切典章常在我面前; 他的律例,我也未曾离弃。
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
我在他面前作了完全人; 我也保守自己远离我的罪孽。
25 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
所以耶和华按我的公义, 按我在他眼前的清洁赏赐我。
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
慈爱的人,你以慈爱待他; 完全的人,你以完全待他;
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the perverse you will show yourself unpleasing.
清洁的人,你以清洁待他; 乖僻的人,你以弯曲待他。
28 And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.
困苦的百姓,你必拯救; 但你的眼目察看高傲的人,使他降卑。
29 For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
耶和华啊,你是我的灯; 耶和华必照明我的黑暗。
30 For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
我借着你冲入敌军, 借着我的 神跳过墙垣。
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
至于 神,他的道是完全的; 耶和华的话是炼净的。 凡投靠他的,他便作他们的盾牌。
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
除了耶和华,谁是 神呢? 除了我们的 神,谁是磐石呢?
33 God is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.
神是我坚固的保障; 他引导完全人行他的路。
34 He makes my feet like hinds' feet: and sets me upon my high places.
他使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄, 又使我在高处安稳。
35 He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
他教导我的手能以争战, 甚至我的膀臂能开铜弓。
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness has made me great.
你把你的救恩给我作盾牌; 你的温和使我为大。
37 You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
你使我脚下的地步宽阔; 我的脚未曾滑跌。
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
我追赶我的仇敌,灭绝了他们, 未灭以先,我没有归回。
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
我灭绝了他们, 打伤了他们,使他们不能起来; 他们都倒在我的脚下。
40 For you have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
因为你曾以力量束我的腰,使我能争战; 你也使那起来攻击我的都服在我以下。
41 You have also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
你又使我的仇敌在我面前转背逃跑, 叫我能以剪除那恨我的人。
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
他们仰望,却无人拯救; 就是呼求耶和华,他也不应允。
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
我捣碎他们,如同地上的灰尘, 践踏他们,四散在地,如同街上的泥土。
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
你救我脱离我百姓的争竞, 保护我作列国的元首; 我素不认识的民必事奉我。
45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
外邦人要投降我, 一听见我的名声就必顺从我。
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
外邦人要衰残, 战战兢兢地出他们的营寨。
47 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
耶和华是活神,愿我的磐石被人称颂! 愿 神—那拯救我的磐石被人尊崇!
48 It is God that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me.
这位 神就是那为我伸冤、 使众民服在我以下的。
49 And that brings me forth from mine enemies: you also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
你救我脱离仇敌, 又把我举起,高过那些起来攻击我的; 你救我脱离强暴的人。
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto your name.
耶和华啊,因此我要在外邦中称谢你, 歌颂你的名。
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
耶和华赐极大的救恩给他所立的王, 施慈爱给他的受膏者, 就是给大卫和他的后裔, 直到永远!
