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。

For the leader. On jonath elem rehokim. Of David. A michtam, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. O God, be gracious to me, for people trample upon me, all the day righting and pressing me.

2 我的仇敵終日謀害我，攻擊我的人實在眾多。

All the day enemies trample me; many there be who contend with me bitterly.

3 至高者！恐惶侵襲我的時日，我只有全心仰賴你。

In the day of my terror I trust in you.

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 maintain my cause, in God I fearlessly trust. What can flesh do to me?

5 他們終日破壞我的生活，千方百計地想加害於我；

They torture me all the day, they ceaselessly plan to hurt me,

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。

banded together in secret, watching my every step, as those who hope for my death.

7 天主，求你審判他們的罪行；求你在盛怒中將異民敉平。

Pay them out for their sin, O God, hurl down the strong in your anger.

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？

You yourself count my wanderings. Put in your bottle my tears are they not in your book?

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 foes be turned back in the day that I call. Of this I am sure, because God is for me.

10 我全心倚賴天主，歌頌祂的許諾；

In God I maintain my cause, in the Lord I maintain my cause.

11 決不怕脆弱的人，對我要做什麼。

In God I fearlessly trust, what can people 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。

Your vows are upon me, O God, I will render thank-offerings to you;

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 you have saved me from death, my feet from stumbling, to the end that I walk before God in the light of the living.
