                    譏笑你打傷的人的苦痛.
          原譯: 求你將你的惱恨倒在他們身上;
                    讓你的烈怒追上他們.
                    願他們的住處變為荒場;
                    願他們的帳棚無人居住.
                    因為你所擊打的, 他們就逼迫;
                    你所擊傷的, 他們戲說他的愁苦.
          英文: Pour out your wrath on them;
                    let your fierce anger overtake them.
                    May their place be deserted;
                    let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
                    For they persecute those you wound
                    and talk about the pain of those you hurt.
          說明: 1. wrath 譯 "烈怒" 較 "惱恨" 恰切.
                        overtake 應譯 "打擊" 非 "追上"
                    2. For they persecute those you wound
                          應譯 "因他們逼害你壓傷的人" 非 "因為你所擊打的, 他們就逼迫"

          原譯: 我要以詩歌讚美神的名,
                    以感謝稱他為大!
                    這便叫耶和華喜悅, 勝似獻牛,
                    或是獻有角蹄的公牛.
          英文: I will praise God's name in song
                    and glorify him with thanksgiving.
                    This will please the Lord more than an ox,
                    more than a bull with its horns and hoofs.
          說明: 1. and glorify him with thanksgiving

                     May his name endure forever;
                     may it continue as long as the sun.
                     All nations will be blessed through him,
                     and they will call him blessed.
           說明: 1. 第16節1,2,句新譯較原譯正確通順工整恰切.
                         sway 描述穀實 "搖曳" 非 "響動"
                     2. let it thrive like the grass of the field

                    他們的眼睛因體胖而凸出;
                    他們所得的過於心裏所想的.
           英文: They have no struggles;
                     their bodies are healthy and strong.
                     They are free from the burdens common to man;
