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 Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long he fighting oppresseth me.

2 我的仇敵終日謀害我，攻擊我的人實在眾多。

Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long: for they be many that fight proudly against me.

3 至高者！恐惶侵襲我的時日，我只有全心仰賴你。

What time I am afraid, I will put my 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 his word: in God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto 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 wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for 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 gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, even 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。

Shall they escape by iniquity? in anger cast down the peoples, 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？

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy 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 mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: this I know, that God is for me.

10 我全心倚賴天主，歌頌祂的許諾；

In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.

11 決不怕脆弱的人，對我要做什麼。

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto 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。

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank offerings unto 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。

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [hast thou] not [delivered] my feet from falling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
