< Psalms 108 >
1 A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.
【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。
2 Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
我的心靈要醒起來!七絃和豎琴要奏起來!我要喚起曙光。
3 I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
上主,我要在萬民中讚美您;上主,我要在列邦中歌頌您。
4 For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
上主,您的慈愛高越諸天;上主,您的忠信直達霄漢。
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.
上主,您在天上備受舉揚;上主,您在地上彰顯榮光。
6 That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.
上主,您給我們獲得救恩;上主,您以右手協助我們。
7 God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,
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。
8 Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,
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。
9 Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.
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。
10 Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
誰引領我進入堅城,誰領導我走進厄東?
11 Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!
天主,莫非您已將我們拋棄,天主,難道不率領我們出擊?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
求您援助我們抵抗仇敵,因為人的援助盡屬虛無。
13 We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
我們倚靠天主,奮勇行事。祂必要踏踐我們的仇敵。
