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。

To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

2 我的仇敵終日謀害我，攻擊我的人實在眾多。

My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O thou most High.

3 至高者！恐惶侵襲我的時日，我只有全心仰賴你。

When I am afraid, 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 his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

5 他們終日破壞我的生活，千方百計地想加害於我；

Every day they pervert 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, when they wait 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 thy anger cast down the people, 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 numberest 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。

When I cry to thee, then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for 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 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。

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

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