詩篇 18
1 伶長にうたはしめたるヱホバの僕ダビデの歌、このうたの詞はもろもろの仇およびサウルの手より救れしときヱホバに對ひてうたへるなり 云く ヱホバわれの力よ われ切になんぢを愛しむ
To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: — I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

The 'Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.
4 死のつな我をめぐり惡のみなぎる流われをおそれしめたり
Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.
Cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been snares of death. (Sheol h7585)

In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.
7 このときヱホバ怒りたまひたれば地はふるひうごき山の基はゆるぎうごきたり
And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake — because He hath wrath.
8 烟その鼻よりたち火その口よりいでてやきつくし炭はこれがために燃あがれり
Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.

And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
10 かくてケルブに乗りてとび風のつばさにて翔り
And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind.
11 闇をおほひとなし水のくらきとそらの密雲とをそのまはりの幕となしたまへり
He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
