1Of David. Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; (诗18:2; 诗18:31; 诗18:34; 诗18:46)2he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples[1] under me. (诗7:10; 诗18:2; 诗18:47; 诗59:9; 诗59:10; 诗59:17; 诗91:2; 拿2:8)3O Lord, what is man that you regard him, or the son of man that you think of him? (诗8:4; 诗31:7)4Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow. (伯8:9; 诗39:5; 诗102:11; 诗109:23)5Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down! Touch the mountains so that they smoke! (诗18:9; 诗104:32; 赛64:1)6Flash forth the lightning and scatter them; send out your arrows and rout them! (诗18:14)7Stretch out your hand from on high; rescue me and deliver me from the many waters, from the hand of foreigners, (诗18:16; 诗18:44; 诗69:14)8whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. (创14:22; 申32:40; 诗12:2; 诗41:6; 诗106:26; 赛62:8)9I will sing a new song to you, O God; upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you, (诗33:2)10who gives victory to kings, who rescues David his servant from the cruel sword. (诗18:50)11Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. (诗144:7; 诗144:8)12May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughters like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace; (诗128:3; 亚9:15)13may our granaries be full, providing all kinds of produce; may our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; (赛30:23; 珥2:24)14may our cattle be heavy with young, suffering no mishap or failure in bearing;[2] may there be no cry of distress in our streets! (赛24:11; 耶14:2; 耶46:12)15Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall! Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord! (申33:29; 诗33:12; 诗146:5)
