- 18:0
-
耶和华的仆人大卫的诗，交与歌咏长；当耶和华救他脱离一切仇敌和扫罗之手的日子，他向耶和华念这歌的话，说：
- 18:1 I love You, O Jehovah, my strength.
-
耶和华我的力量阿，我爱你。
- 18:2 Jehovah is my crag and my fortress and my Deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my high retreat.
-
耶和华是我的岩石，我的山寨，我的解救者；是我的神，我的磐石，我所投靠的；是我的盾牌，拯救我的角，我的高台。

那时因祂发怒，地就摇撼战抖，山的根基也震动摇撼。
- 18:8 Smoke went up from His nostrils, And fire from His mouth devoured; Coals blazed forth from Him.

从祂鼻孔冒烟上腾，从祂口中发火焚烧；连炭也烧着了。

祂使天下垂，亲自降临；有幽暗在祂脚下。

-
祂乘坐基路伯飞行；祂驾御风的翅膀快飞。
- 18:11 He made darkness His hiding place, His pavilion around Him: Dark waterclouds, thick clouds of the skies.
-
祂以黑暗为藏身之处，以乌黑的水云、天空的厚云为祂四围的帷幕。

祂射出箭来，使我的仇敌四散；祂发出闪电，使他们溃乱。
- 18:15 The channels of the sea were seen, And the foundations of the habitable land were laid bare At Your rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
-
耶和华阿，你的斥责一发，你鼻孔的气一出，海底就出现，居人之地的根基也显露。
- 18:16 He reached forth from on high; He took me; He drew me out of great waters.
-
祂从高天伸手抓住我，把我从大水中拉上来。
- 18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy And from those who hate me, for they were too mighty for me.

所以耶和华按我的公义，按我在祂眼前手中的清洁回报我。
- 18:25 With the faithful You show Yourself faithful, With a perfect man You show Yourself perfect,
-
慈爱的人，你以慈爱待他；完全的人，你以完全待他。
- 18:26 With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the perverse You show Yourself contrary.
-
纯洁的人，你以纯洁待他；乖僻的人，你以弯曲待他。
- 18:27 For it is You who save the afflicted people, But the haughty eyes You bring down;
-
因为你必拯救困苦的百姓，却使高傲的眼目降卑；
- 18:28 For it is You who light my lamp; Jehovah my God lights up my darkness;
-
你必点亮我的灯；耶和华我的神必照明我的黑暗。
- 18:29 For by You I can run up against a troop; Indeed by my God I can leap over a wall.

除了耶和华，谁是神呢？除了我们的神，谁是磐石呢？
- 18:32 The God who girds me with strength And makes my way perfect,
-
唯有那以力量束我的腰，使我道路完全的，祂是神；
- 18:33 Who makes my feet like hinds' feet And sets me on my high places,

祂使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄，又使我在高处站稳；

我捣碎他们，如同风前的灰尘；我践踏他们，如同街上的泥土。
