鍊銀者鼎、鍊金者爐、鑒察人心者乃主、

押沙龍品貌俊秀、遍以色列無人如之、為眾所譽、自踵至頂無瑕疵、

使爾被試之信、較之經火煉可壞之金更顯寶貴、迨耶穌基督顯現之時、各得讚美、尊貴榮光、

我將使三分之一、若投於火中、若投於火中或作如由火中而經鍊之如銀、試之如金、彼籲我名、我必應允、我必曰、彼乃我民、彼必曰、耶和華乃我之天主、

眾婦女舞蹈唱和曰、掃羅殺其千千、大衛殺其萬萬、掃羅怒甚、不悅其言、曰、以萬萬歸大衛、以千千歸我、僅餘王位、未為所得、未為所得或作未予之

彼將坐而鍊人若銀而潔之、潔利未人、鍊之若金若銀、使之以虔敬獻祭於主、

以色列人中、凡欲赴王前求判者、押沙龍皆如此待之、於是押沙龍陰得陰得原文作竊以色列人心、越四年、原文作越四十年押沙龍告王曰、我曾在主前許願、我欲往希伯崙酬之、求王許我、蓋僕居亞蘭之基述時、曾許願曰、如主使我歸耶路撒冷、我必奉事主、王謂之曰、可安然以去、乃起、往希伯崙、押沙龍密遣人密遣人原文作遣偵者遍行以色列諸支派宣告曰、爾曹一聞角聲、則呼曰、押沙龍在希伯崙為王矣、押沙龍在耶路撒冷延二百人偕往、皆誠實而往、不知真情、押沙龍獻祭時、遣人延大衛謀士基祿人亞希多弗、自其邑基祿至、於是叛逆之勢愈大、或作叛逆之黨愈強從押沙龍之民日漸增益、

天主歟、曾試驗我儕、鍛鍊我儕、如鍊銀然、

掃羅見大衛諸事亨通、懼之益甚、以色列與猶大眾、均愛大衛、緣恆率之出入、

值非利士諸伯出戰時、大衛較掃羅諸臣僕所行更亨通、於是其名甚揚、為眾人所尊、

可愛者乎、爾今遇火鍊試爾、勿異之以為遭非常之事、

主之語言、皆是精粹、如銀在地爐、鍊經七次、
