1. 耶和华为大,在我们神的城中,在祂的圣山上,该大受赞美。 Great is Jehovah, And much to be praised In the city of our God, In His holy mountain.
2. 在北面的锡安山,是大君王的城,居高华美,为全地所喜悦。 Beautiful in elevation, The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion, the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
3. 神在城的宫中自显为高台。 God has made Himself known In her palaces as a high retreat.
4. 看哪,众王会合,一同经过。 For, behold, the kings have assembled themselves; They passed by together.
5. 他们见了这城,就诧异惊惶,急忙逃跑。 They saw; therefore they were astounded. They were dismayed; they hurried off in alarm.
6. 战兢在那里抓住他们;他们疼痛挣扎,好像产难的妇人一样。 Trembling seized them there; Writhing, like that of a woman in labor;
7. 神阿,你用东风打破他施的船只。 With an east wind You shattered The ships of Tarshish.
8. 我们在万军之耶和华的城中,就是我们神的城中,所看见的,正如我们所听见的。神必坚立这城,直到永远。 细拉 As we have heard, So we have seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God. God will establish her forever.
9. 神阿,我们在你的殿中,想念你的慈爱。 We consider, O God, Your lovingkindness In the midst of Your temple.
10. 神阿,你受的赞美,正如你的名一样,直到地极;你的右手满了公义。 As Your name is, O God, So is Your praise Unto the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11. 因你的判断,锡安山应当快乐,犹大的女子应当欢腾。 Let Mount Zion rejoice; Let the daughters of Judah exult Because of Your judgments.
12. 你们当周游锡安,四围旋绕,数点城楼。 Walk about Zion, and go around her; Count her towers.
13. 当细看她的外郭,巡察她的宫殿,为要传述给后代。 Consider carefully her bulwarks; Pass between her palaces; That you may recount it to the generation following.
14. 因为这神永永远远为我们的神;祂必引导我们,直到死时。 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us even unto death.
