詩篇 56

1 達味金詩，交與樂官。 天主，求你憐憫我，因為人要謀害我，時時處處有人欺壓我。

Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth. Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.

2 我的仇敵終日謀害我，攻擊我的人實在眾多。

My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.

3 至高者！恐惶侵襲我的時日，我只有全心仰賴你。

From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.

4 我全心倚賴天主，並歌頌祂的許諾；我決不怕血肉的人，對我要做什麼。

In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.

5 他們終日破壞我的生活，千方百計地想加害於我；

All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.

6 他們群集埋伏，窺伺我的行徑，他們等待時機，謀圖我的性命。

They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,

7 天主，求你審判他們的罪行；求你在盛怒中將異民敉平。

For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,

8 我多次流離失所，你都知悉，我的眼淚聚在你皮囊裏；豈不是也寫在你的書卷內？

I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.

9 我幾時呼號你，我的仇敵便退卻，從此我也全知道，天主常扶助我。

Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.

10 我全心倚賴天主，歌頌祂的許諾；

In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech.

11 決不怕脆弱的人，對我要做什麼。

In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.

12 天主，我必遵守向你所許的願，我必要向你償還頌謝的祭獻。

In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:

13 因為你救我脫離死亡，使我的腳免於跌仆，使我能在活人的光明中，在天主的面前行走。

Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
