詩篇 64

1 達味詩歌，交與樂官。 天主，求您傾聽我哀訴的聲音，從仇敵的恐嚇中保全我生命。

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: preserve my life from the dread of the enemy.

2 求您掩護我遠離惡人的陰險，使我脫免作奸犯科者的暴亂；

Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous assault of the workers of wickedness;

3 他們磨礪自己的舌頭有如刀劍，他們吐出有毒的語言有如弓箭：

Who whet their tongue like a sword, who aim with their arrow, the bitter word:

4 暗地裏向無辜的人擊撾，肆無忌憚，突然將他刺殺。

To shoot in secret at the innocent; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 他們彼此激勵行惡，互相商議暗佈羅網；說：看見我們的究竟是誰？

They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they tell secretly of laying snares: they say, Who will see them?

6 誰能查出我們的邪思﹖我們已作成精密陰謀，走近的人必墜入深溝。

They search out iniquities; “We are ready with the carefully searched out device:” and the inward thought and heart of each is deeply [hidden].

7 但是，天主必要用箭射擊他們，他們必要突然身受創痕。

But God shooteth at them suddenly [his] arrow; —[thence] are come their wounds.

8 他們的舌頭必使自己跌仆，凡見到他們的人都必搖頭。

And their own tongues will stumble over themselves: all that look on them will shake their head.

9 眾人要恐懼，要傳述天主的作為，他們也都要細心默思他的事跡。

All men shall fear, and shall declare the deeds of God, and understand his works.

10 義人必要喜樂於上主，向他投靠，心地正直的人，必要因此而歡躍。

The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glorify themselves.
