²聽禱告的主啊，凡有血氣的都要來就你。O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You.

³罪孽勝了我；至於我們的過犯，你都要赦免。When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.

⁴你所揀選、使他親近你、住在你院中的，這人便為有福！我們必因你居所、你聖殿的美福知足了。Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.

地極的人所倚靠的

⁵拯救我們的　神啊，你必以威嚴秉公義應允我們；你本是一切地極和海上遠處的人所倚靠的。With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

⁶他既以大能束腰，就用力量安定諸山，You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

⁷使諸海的響聲和其中波浪的響聲，並萬民的喧嘩，都平靜了。You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.

⁸住在地極的人因你的神蹟懼怕；你使日出日落之地都歡呼。Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.

你眷顧地，降下透雨

⁹你眷顧地，降下透雨，使地大得肥美。　神的河滿了水；你這樣澆灌了地，好為人預備五穀。You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth.

¹⁰你澆透地的犁溝，潤平犁脊，降甘霖，使地軟和；其中發長的，蒙你賜福。You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.

¹¹你以恩典為年歲的冠冕；你的路徑都滴下脂油，You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.

¹²滴在曠野的草場上。小山以歡樂束腰；The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy.

¹³草場以羊群為衣；谷中也長滿了五穀。這一切都歡呼歌唱。The pastures are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.

全地都當向神歡呼

¹（一篇詩歌，交與伶長。）全地都當向　神歡呼！For the choirmaster. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!

²歌頌他名的榮耀！用讚美的言語將他的榮耀發明！Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.

³當對　神說：你的作為何等可畏！因你的大能，仇敵要投降你。Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.

⁴全地要敬拜你，歌頌你，要歌頌你的名。（細拉）All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.” Selah

⁵你們來看　神所行的，他向世人所做之事是可畏的。Come and see the works of God; how awesome are His deeds toward mankind.

⁶他將海變成乾地，眾民步行過河；我們在那裡因他歡喜。He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the waters on foot; there we rejoiced in Him.

神熬煉我們如銀子

⁸萬民哪，你們當稱頌我們的　神，使人得聽讚美他的聲音。Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard.

⁹他使我們的性命存活，也不叫我們的腳搖動。He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from slipping.

¹⁰神啊，你曾試驗我們，熬煉我們，如熬煉銀子一樣。For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver.

¹¹你使我們進入網羅，把重擔放在我們的身上。You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.

¹²你使人坐車軋我們的頭；我們經過水火，你卻使我們到豐富之地。You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.

我要向你還我的願

¹³我要用燔祭進你的殿，向你還我的願，I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—

¹⁴就是在急難時我嘴唇所發的、口中所許的。the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress.

¹⁵我要把肥牛作燔祭，將公羊的香祭獻給你，又把公牛和山羊獻上。（細拉）I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah

神實在聽了我的禱告

¹⁶凡敬畏　神的人，你們都來聽！我要述說他為我所行的事。Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.

¹⁷我曾用口求告他；我的舌頭也稱他為高。I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.

¹⁸我若心裡注重罪孽，主必不聽。If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

¹⁹但　神實在聽見了；他側耳聽了我禱告的聲音。But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.

²⁰神是應當稱頌的！他並沒有推卻我的禱告，也沒有叫他的慈愛離開我。Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld from me His loving devotion!

願神賜福，叫萬國得知

¹（一篇詩歌，交與伶長。用絲弦的樂器。）願　神憐憫我們，賜福與我們，用臉光照我們，（細拉）For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song. May God be gracious to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, Selah

⁷神要賜福與我們；地的四極都要敬畏他！God blesses us, that all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

願神興起

¹（大衛的詩歌，交與伶長。）願　神興起，使他的仇敵四散，叫那恨他的人從他面前逃跑。For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. God arises. His enemies are scattered, and those who hate Him flee His presence.

²他們被驅逐，如煙被風吹散；惡人見　神之面而消滅，如蠟被火鎔化。As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God.

³惟有義人必然歡喜，在　神面前高興快樂。But the righteous will be glad and rejoice before God; they will celebrate with joy.

孤兒的父，寡婦的伸冤者

⁴你們當向　神唱詩，歌頌他的名；為那坐車行過曠野的修平大路。他的名是耶和華，要在他面前歡樂！Sing to God! Sing praises to His name. Exalt Him who rides on the clouds—His name is the LORD—and rejoice before Him.

⁵神在他的聖所作孤兒的父，作寡婦的伸冤者。A father of the fatherless and a defender of widows is God in His holy habitation.

⁶神叫孤獨的有家，使被囚的出來享福；惟有悖逆的住在乾燥之地。God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

神在曠野行走，西奈山震動

⁷神啊，你曾在你百姓前頭出來，在曠野行走。（細拉）O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland, Selah

⁸那時，地見　神的面而震動，天也落雨；西奈山見以色列　神的面也震動。the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

⁹神啊，你降下大雨；你產業以色列疲乏的時候，你使他堅固。You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.

¹⁰你的會眾住在其中；　神啊，你的恩惠是為困苦人預備的。Your flock settled therein; O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.

¹¹主發命令，傳好信息的婦女成了大群。The Lord gives the command; a great company of women proclaim it:

¹²統兵的君王逃跑了，逃跑了；在家等候的婦女分受所奪的。“Kings and their armies flee in haste; she who waits at home divides the plunder.

¹³你們安臥在羊圈的時候，好像鴿子的翅膀鍍白銀，翎毛鍍黃金一般。Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her feathers with shimmering gold.”

¹⁴全能者在境內趕散列王的時候，勢如飄雪在撒們。When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like the snow falling on Zalmon.

神所願居住的山

¹⁵巴珊山是　神的山；巴珊山是多峰多嶺的山。A mountain of God is Mount Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan.

¹⁶你們多峰多嶺的山哪，為何斜看　神所願居住的山？耶和華必住這山，直到永遠！Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling, where the LORD will surely dwell forever.

¹⁷神的車輦累萬盈千；主在其中，好像在西奈聖山一樣。The chariots of God are tens of thousands—thousands of thousands are they; the Lord is in His sanctuary as He was at Sinai.

¹⁸你已經升上高天，擄掠仇敵；你在人間，就是在悖逆的人間，受了供獻，叫耶和華　神可以與他們同住。You have ascended on high; You have led captives away. You have received gifts from men, even from the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there.

¹⁹天天背負我們重擔的主，就是拯救我們的　神，是應當稱頌的！（細拉）Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation. Selah

²⁰神是為我們施行諸般救恩的　神；人能脫離死亡是在乎主耶和華。Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.

²¹但　神要打破他仇敵的頭，就是那常犯罪之人的髮頂。Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.

²²主說：我要使眾民從巴珊而歸，使他們從深海而回，The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,

²³使你打碎仇敵，你的腳踹在血中，使你狗的舌頭從其中得分。that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes—the tongues of your dogs in the same.”

神進入聖所的行列

²⁴神啊，你是我的　神，我的王；人已經看見你行走，進入聖所。They have seen Your procession, O God—the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.

²⁶從以色列源頭而來的，當在各會中稱頌主　神！Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.

²⁷在那裡，有統管他們的小便雅憫，有猶大的首領和他們的群眾，有西布倫的首領，有拿弗他利的首領。There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.

列王帶貢物，列國向神歌唱

²⁸以色列的能力是　神所賜的；　神啊，求你堅固你為我們所成全的事！Summon Your power, O God; show Your strength, O God, which You have exerted on our behalf.

²⁹因你耶路撒冷的殿，列王必帶貢物獻給你。Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring You gifts.

³⁰求你叱喝蘆葦中的野獸和群公牛，並列邦中的牛犢。把銀塊踹在腳下；　神已經趕散好爭戰的列邦。Rebuke the beast in the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations, until it submits, bringing bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.

保羅放膽寫信的原因

¹⁴弟兄們，我自己也深信你們是滿有良善，充足了諸般的知識，也能彼此勸戒。I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

¹⁵但我稍微放膽寫信給你們，是要提醒你們的記性，特因　神所給我的恩典，However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me

¹⁶使我為外邦人作基督耶穌的僕役，作　神福音的祭司，叫所獻上的外邦人，因著聖靈成為聖潔，可蒙悅納。to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

從耶路撒冷傳到以利哩古

¹⁷所以論到　神的事，我在基督耶穌裡有可誇的。Therefore I exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God.

¹⁸除了基督藉我做的那些事，我甚麼都不敢提，只提他藉我言語作為，用神蹟奇事的能力，並聖靈的能力，使外邦人順服；I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,

¹⁹甚至我從耶路撒冷，直轉到以利哩古，到處傳了基督的福音。by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

²⁰我立了志向，不在基督的名被稱過的地方傳福音，免得建造在別人的根基上。In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.

²¹就如經上所記：未曾聞知他信息的，將要看見；未曾聽過的，將要明白。Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

計畫往西班牙去

²²我因多次被攔阻，總不得到你們那裡去。That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

²³但如今，在這裡再沒有可傳的地方，而且這好幾年，我切心想望到西班牙去的時候，可以到你們那裡，But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,

²⁴盼望從你們那裡經過，得見你們，先與你們彼此交往，心裡稍微滿足，然後蒙你們送行。I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.

先把捐項送到耶路撒冷

²⁵但現在，我往耶路撒冷去供給聖徒。Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.

²⁶因為馬其頓和亞該亞人樂意湊出捐項給耶路撒冷聖徒中的窮人。For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

²⁷這固然是他們樂意的，其實也算是所欠的債；因外邦人既然在他們屬靈的好處上有分，就當把養身之物供給他們。They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.

²⁸等我辦完了這事，把這善果向他們交付明白，我就要路過你們那裡，往西班牙去。So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.

²⁹我也曉得，去的時候必帶著基督豐盛的恩典而去。I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

請為我祈求神

³⁰弟兄們，我藉著我們主耶穌基督，又藉著聖靈的愛，勸你們與我一同竭力，為我祈求　神，Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.

³¹叫我脫離在猶太不順從的人，也叫我為耶路撒冷所辦的捐項可蒙聖徒悅納，Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,

³²並叫我順著　神的旨意，歡歡喜喜地到你們那裡，與你們同得安息。so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.

³³願賜平安的　神常和你們眾人同在。阿們！The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

舉薦非比

¹我對你們舉薦我們的姊妹非比；她是堅革哩教會中的女執事。I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchrea.

²請你們為主接待她，合乎聖徒的體統。她在何事上要你們幫助，你們就幫助她；因她素來幫助許多人，也幫助了我。Welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her with anything she may need from you. For she has been a great help to many people, including me.

問眾同工和信徒安

³問百基拉和亞居拉安。他們在基督耶穌裡與我同工，Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

⁴也為我的命將自己的頸項置之度外。不但我感謝他們，就是外邦的眾教會也感謝他們。who have risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

⁵又問在他們家中的教會安。問我所親愛的以拜尼土安；他在亞細亞是歸基督初結的果子。Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my beloved Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.

⁶又問馬利亞安；她為你們多受勞苦。Greet Mary, who has worked very hard for you.

⁷又問我親屬與我一同坐監的安多尼古和猶尼亞安；他們在使徒中是有名望的，也是比我先在基督裡。Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow countrymen and fellow prisoners. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.

⁸又問我在主裡面所親愛的暗伯利安。Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.

⁹又問在基督裡與我們同工的耳巴奴，並我所親愛的士大古安。Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.

¹⁰又問在基督裡經過試驗的亞比利安。問亞利多布家裡的人安。Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

¹¹又問我親屬希羅天安。問拿其數家在主裡的人安。Greet Herodion, my fellow countryman. Greet those from the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

¹²又問為主勞苦的土非拿氏和土富撒氏安。問可親愛為主多受勞苦的彼息氏安。Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, women who have worked hard in the Lord. Greet my beloved Persis, who has worked very hard in the Lord.

躲避離間的人

¹⁷弟兄們，那些離間你們、叫你們跌倒、背乎所學之道的人，我勸你們要留意躲避他們。Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them.

¹⁸因為這樣的人不服事我們的主基督，只服事自己的肚腹，用花言巧語誘惑那些老實人的心。For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

¹⁹你們的順服已經傳於眾人，所以我為你們歡喜；但我願意你們在善上聰明，在惡上愚拙。Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.

²⁰賜平安的　神快要將撒但踐踏在你們腳下。願我主耶穌基督的恩常和你們同在！The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

同工們的問安

²¹與我同工的提摩太，和我的親屬路求、耶孫、所西巴德，問你們安。Timothy, my fellow worker, sends you greetings, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my fellow countrymen.
