詩篇 59
1 達味金詩，交與樂官。調寄「莫要毀壞」。 我主，求你由我的仇敵中，救我免難，求你從攻擊我者中，使戈脫險；
For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; set me on high from them that rise up against me.
2 求你救我脫離為非作歹的人，求你救我脫離好流人血的人。
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the men of blood.
3 上主，你看，我雖然沒有作過惡，沒有犯過罪，但強橫人為害我的性命，卻群起與我作對。
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather themselves together against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4 我雖然無辜，他們卻跑來挑戰，求你醒來扶助我，且予以察看。
Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold.
5 因為你是上主，萬軍的天主，以色列的天主，醒來嚴罰這些群眾，別恩待這些背信的惡徒。
Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arouse Thyself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. (Selah)
6 他們晚上歸來，狂吠如犬，他們環繞城池，四周圍轉。
They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 看，他們的唇舌宛如利劍，且滿口傲慢說：有誰聽見？
Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: 'For who doth hear?'
8 但是你，上主，你必嘲笑他們，你必譏諷這般異民。
But Thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the nations in derision.
9 我的力量，我只有仰望於你，因為你是天主，是我的堡壘。
Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for God is my high tower.
10 願那愛我的天主援助我，使我因仇敵失敗而歡樂！
The God of my mercy will come to meet me; God will let me gaze upon mine adversaries.
11 天主，求你擊殺他們，免得侵犯我的人民；上主，我的謢盾，你以強力制服他們。
Slay them not, lest my people forget, make them wander to and fro by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12 他們口唇所說的話語：就是他們口舌的罪過，他們因自己的驕傲咒罵與謊言，自陷網羅！
For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13 求你發怒滅絕他們，滅絕他們無一存立，使人知道：天主在雅各伯為王直達地極。
Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more; and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 他們晚上歸來，狂吠如犬，他們環繞城池，四周圍轉。
And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city;
15 他們到處遊蕩，覓食餬口。若不得飽食，便狂吠不休。
They wander up and down to devour, and tarry all night if they have not their fill.
16 但是我要稱你的威能，每日清晨歡呼你的寬仁，因為只有你是我的碉堡，是我困厄時日的避難所。
But as for me, I will sing of Thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; for Thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 我的力量，我只有向你歡唱，因為只有你是天主，是我的保障。你是我的天主，你對我慈祥。
O my strength, unto Thee will I sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
