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；
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me 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 bloody men.
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 mighty are gathered 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。
They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake 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, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (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 make a noise 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, [say they], 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 heathen 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 will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my defence.
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 shall prevent me: God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
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: scatter them 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 [may] not [be: ] 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 at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise 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。
Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
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 I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
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。
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defence, [and] the God of my mercy.
