¹ 起初，神创造天地。

² 地是空虚混沌，渊面黑暗；神的灵运行在水面上。

³ 神说：要有光，就有了光。

⁴ 神看光是好的，就把光暗分开了。

⁵ 神称光为昼，称暗为夜。有晚上，有早晨，这是头一日。

⁶ 神说：诸水之间要有空气，将水分为上下。

⁷ 神就造出空气，将空气以下的水、空气以上的水分开了。事就这样成了。

⁸ 神称空气为天。有晚上，有早晨，是第二日。

⁹ 神说：天下的水要聚在一处，使旱地露出来。事就这样成了。

¹⁰ 神称旱地为地，称水的聚处为海。神看着是好的。

¹¹ 神说：地要发生青草和结种子的菜蔬，并结果子的树木，各从其类，果子都包着核。事就这样成了。

¹² 於是地发生了青草和结种子的菜蔬，各从其类；并结果子的树木，各从其类；果子都包着核。神看着是好的。

¹³ 有晚上，有早晨，是第三日。

¹⁴ 神说：天上要有光体，可以分昼夜，作记号，定节令、日子、年岁，

¹⁵ 并要发光在天空，普照在地上。事就这样成了。

¹⁶ 於是神造了两个大光，大的管昼，小的管夜，又造众星，

¹⁷ 就把这些光摆列在天空，普照在地上，

¹⁸ 管理昼夜，分别明暗。神看着是好的。

¹⁹ 有晚上，有早晨，是第四日。

²⁰ 神说：水要多多滋生有生命的物；要有雀鸟飞在地面以上，天空之中。

²¹ 神就造出大鱼和水中所滋生各样有生命的动物，各从其类；又造出各样飞鸟，各从其类。神看着是好的。

²² 神就赐福给这一切，说：滋生繁多，充满海中的水；雀鸟也要多生在地上。

²³ 有晚上，有早晨，是第五日。

²⁴ 神说：地要生出活物来，各从其类；牲畜、昆虫、地上的野兽，各从其类。事就这样成了。

²⁵ 於是神造出野兽，各从其类；牲畜，各从其类；地上一切昆虫，各从其类。神看着是好的。

²⁶ 神说：我们要照着我们的形像、按着我们的样式造人，使他们管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟、地上的牲畜，和全地，并地上所爬的一切昆虫。

²⁷ 神就照着自己的形像造人，乃是照着他的形像造男造女。

²⁸ 神就赐福给他们，又对他们说：要生养众多，遍满地面，治理这地，也要管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟，和地上各样行动的活物。

²⁹ 神说：看哪，我将遍地上一切结种子的菜蔬和一切树上所结有核的果子全赐给你们作食物。

³⁰ 至於地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟，并各样爬在地上有生命的物，我将青草赐给他们作食物。事就这样成了。

³¹ 神看着一切所造的都甚好。有晚上，有早晨，是第六日。

¹ Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn't go out of deceitful lips.

² Let my sentence come forth from your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.

³ You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

⁴ As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

⁵ My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.

⁶ I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.

⁷ Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.

⁸ Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

⁹ from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.

¹⁰ They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.

¹¹ They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

¹² He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

¹³ Arise, Yahweh, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword;

¹⁴ from men by your hand, Yahweh, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.

¹⁵ As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form. For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said,
