第 108 篇
祈求上帝的幫助
大衛的詩歌。
1上帝啊!我的心堅定不移,
我要用心靈歌頌你。
2琴瑟啊,彈奏吧,
我要喚醒黎明。
3耶和華啊,我要在列邦稱謝你,
在列國歌頌你。
4因為你的慈愛廣及諸天,
你的信實高達穹蒼。
5上帝啊,
願你得到的尊崇超過諸天,
願你的榮耀覆蓋大地。
6求你應允我們的禱告,
伸出右手幫助我們,
使你所愛的人獲救。
7上帝在祂的聖所說:
「我要歡然劃分示劍,丈量疏割谷。
8基列是我的,瑪拿西也是我的,
以法蓮是我的頭盔,
猶大是我的權杖。
9摩押是我的洗腳盆,
我要把鞋扔給以東,
我要在非利士高唱凱歌。」
10誰能帶我進入堅固的城池?
誰能領我到以東?
11上帝啊,你拋棄了我們嗎?
上帝啊,你不再和我們的軍隊一同出戰了嗎?
12求你幫助我們攻打仇敵,
因為人的幫助徒然無益。
13我們依靠上帝才能取勝,
祂必把我們的敵人踩在腳下。
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.
