Psalms 18

Greek original · 51 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

📖 This chapter exists in 3 other originals — side by side (Hebrew Old Testament, Vulgate, Ge'ez Bible)

⚠️ Psalms use Masoretic (Hebrew) numbering, which differs from printed Vulgate and Septuagint editions: Ps 18 here = Ps 17 in print. Convert before citing a printed edition.

ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

18:0

εἰς τὸ τέλος τῷ παιδὶ κυρίου τῷ Δαυιδ ἃ ἐλάλησεν τῷ κυρίῳ τοὺς λόγους τῆς ᾠδῆς ταύτης ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐρρύσατο αὐτὸν κύριος ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς Σαουλ

For the end. Of David, the servant of the Lord, the words of this ode which he spoke to the Lord on the day the Lord delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul.

為着終結。主的僕人大衛的詩，就是他在主救他脫離一切仇敵的手和掃羅的手那日，向主所說這歌的話。

18:1

καὶ εἶπεν ἀγαπήσω σε κύριε ἡ ἰσχύς μου

And he said: I will love you, O Lord, my strength.

他說：主，我的力量啊，我愛你。

18:2

κύριος στερέωμά μου καὶ καταφυγή μου καὶ ῥύστης μου ὁ θεός μου βοηθός μου καὶ ἐλπιῶ ἐπ’ αὐτόν ὑπερασπιστής μου καὶ κέρας σωτηρίας μου ἀντιλήμπτωρ μου

The Lord is my firm support and my refuge and my deliverer; my God is my helper, and I will hope in him; he is my protector and the horn of my salvation, my supporter.

主是我堅固的保障、我的避難所、我的拯救者；我的神是我的幫助，我要投靠他；他是我的盾牌、我救恩的角、我的扶持者。

18:3

αἰνῶν ἐπικαλέσομαι κύριον καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου σωθήσομαι

Praising, I will call upon the Lord, and I shall be saved from my enemies.

我要讚美著呼求主，我就必從我的仇敵中得救。

18:4

περιέσχον με ὠδῖνες θανάτου καὶ χείμαρροι ἀνομίας ἐξετάραξάν με

The pangs of death surrounded me, and torrents of lawlessness troubled me.

死亡的痛苦圍困了我，不法的急流使我驚惶。

18:5

ὠδῖνες ᾅδου περιεκύκλωσάν με προέφθασάν με παγίδες θανάτου

The pangs of Hades encircled me; the snares of death came upon me.

陰間的痛苦圍繞了我，死亡的網羅迎面臨到我。

18:6

καὶ ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸν κύριον καὶ πρὸς τὸν θεόν μου ἐκέκραξα ἤκουσεν ἐκ ναοῦ ἁγίου αὐτοῦ φωνῆς μου καὶ ἡ κραυγή μου ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ

And in my affliction I called upon the Lord, and I cried to my God; he heard my voice from his holy temple, and my cry before him will enter into his ears.

我受患難的時候呼求主，向我的神哀求；他從他的聖殿中聽了我的聲音，我在他面前的呼喊必達到他的耳中。

18:7

καὶ ἐσαλεύθη καὶ ἔντρομος ἐγενήθη ἡ γῆ καὶ τὰ θεμέλια τῶν ὀρέων ἐταράχθησαν καὶ ἐσαλεύθησαν ὅτι ὠργίσθη αὐτοῖς ὁ θεός

And the earth was shaken and became trembling, and the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were shaken, because God was angry with them.

那時地搖撼戰抖，眾山的根基也震動搖撼，因為神向他們發怒。

18:8

ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ πῦρ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ κατεφλόγισεν ἄνθρακες ἀνήφθησαν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ

Smoke went up in his anger, and fire from his face blazed out; coals were kindled from him.

在他發怒的時候，煙就上升，有火從他面前燒起，炭火也從他那裡燃著。

18:9

καὶ ἔκλινεν οὐρανὸν καὶ κατέβη καὶ γνόφος ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ

And he bowed the heavens and came down, and thick gloom was under his feet.

他使天下垂，親自降臨；有幽暗在他腳下。
