诗篇第108章

概览

诗篇108篇是大卫一篇满有信心的赞美与求胜祷告，由两篇较早诗篇的片段缀合而成。它以坚定的敬拜开始——「神啊，我心坚定」——立志在万民中赞美耶和华，随后转为祈求神帮助以色列胜过仇敌。诗人深信神分赐土地的应许，确信靠着神他们必行事勇敢，因祂必践踏他们的敌人。

¹（大卫的诗歌。）神啊，我心坚定；我口（原文是荣耀）要唱诗歌颂！A Song or Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

²琴瑟啊，你们当醒起！我自己要极早醒起！Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

³耶和华啊，我要在万民中称谢你，在列邦中歌颂你！I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

⁴因为，你的慈爱大过诸天；你的诚实达到穹苍。For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

⁵神啊，愿你崇高过於诸天！愿你的荣耀高过全地！Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

⁶求你应允我们，用右手拯救我们，好叫你所亲爱的人得救。That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

⁷神已经指着他的圣洁说（说：或译应许我）：我要欢乐；我要分开示剑，丈量疏割谷。God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

⁸基列是我的；玛拿西是我的；以法莲是护卫我头的；犹大是我的杖；Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

⁹摩押是我的沐浴盆；我要向以东抛鞋；我必因胜非利士呼喊。Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

¹⁰谁能领我进坚固城？谁能引我到以东地？Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

¹¹神啊，你不是丢弃了我们麽？神啊，你不和我们的军兵同去麽？Wilt not thou , O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

¹²求你帮助我们攻击敌人，因为人的帮助是枉然的。Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

¹³我们倚靠神才得施展大能，因为践踏我们敌人的就是他。Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
