第 108 篇
祈求上帝的帮助
大卫的诗歌。
1上帝啊!我的心坚定不移,
我要用心灵歌颂你。
2琴瑟啊,弹奏吧,
我要唤醒黎明。
3耶和华啊,我要在列邦称谢你,
在列国歌颂你。
4因为你的慈爱广及诸天,
你的信实高达穹苍。
5上帝啊,
愿你得到的尊崇超过诸天,
愿你的荣耀覆盖大地。
6求你应允我们的祷告,
伸出右手帮助我们,
使你所爱的人获救。
7上帝在祂的圣所说:
“我要欢然划分示剑,丈量疏割谷。
8基列是我的,玛拿西也是我的,
以法莲是我的头盔,
犹大是我的权杖。
9摩押是我的洗脚盆,
我要把鞋扔给以东,
我要在非利士高唱凯歌。”
10谁能带我进入坚固的城池?
谁能领我到以东?
11上帝啊,你抛弃了我们吗?
上帝啊,你不再和我们的军队一同出战了吗?
12求你帮助我们攻打仇敌,
因为人的帮助徒然无益。
13我们依靠上帝才能取胜,
祂必把我们的敌人踩在脚下。
A Song or Psalm of David.
1O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.108.4 clouds: or, skies
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
