| 1 | 〔可拉後裔的詩歌。〕耶和華本為大、在我們 神的城中、在他的聖山上、該受大讚美。
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
| |
| 2 | 錫安山、大君王的城、在北面居高華美、為全地所喜悅。
It is beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.
| |
| 3 | 神在其宮中自顯為避難所。
God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress.
| |
| 4 | 看哪、眾王會合、一同經過。
When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together,
| |
| 5 | 他們見了這城、就驚奇喪膽、急忙逃跑。
they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror.
| |
| 6 | 他們在那裡被戰兢疼痛抓住、好像產難的婦人一樣。
Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor.
| |
| 7 | 神阿、你用東風打破他施的船隻。
You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind.
| |
| 8 | 我們在萬軍之耶和華的城中、就是我們 神的城中、所看見的、正如我們所聽見的. 神必堅立這城、直到永遠。〔細拉〕
As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever. Selah
| |
| 9 | 神阿、我們在你的殿中、想念你的慈愛。
Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.
| |
| 10 | 神阿、你受的讚美、正與你的名相稱、直到地極.你的右手滿了公義。
Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness.
| |
| 11 | 因你的判斷、錫安山應當歡喜猶大的城邑、應當快樂。〔城邑原文是女子〕
Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.
| |
| 12 | 你們當周遊錫安、四圍旋繞、數點城樓、
Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers,
| |
| 13 | 細看他的外郭、察看他的宮殿、為要傳說到後代。
consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.
| |
| 14 | 因為這 神永永遠遠為我們的 神.他必作我們引路的、直到死時。
For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.
