< 詩篇 7 >
1 【苦中投奔於主】 達味有感於本雅明族人的話,向上主唱流離之歌。 上主,我的天主!我一心投奔你;求你助我逃脫一切追逐我的人,求你救拔我;
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,
Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 上主!如果我真做了這事,我主!在我手中就真有罪!
O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary);
5 就讓敵人追逐我,擒獲我,把我的性命踐踏在污地,將我的光榮歸諸於泥灰。
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
6 上主,求你震怒奮起,前來克制我仇的暴慢。我的天主,求你醒起助我,施行你定的斷案。
Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.
And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.
8 上主,萬民的審判者! 上主,請照我的正義,請按我的無罪,護衛我的權利。
Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.
9 公義的天主! 惟你洞察肺腑和人心,願惡人的毒害停止,求你堅固義人!
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.
My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.
God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.
If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready;
13 那只是為自己預備死亡的武器,為自己製造帶火的箭矢。
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery [shafts].
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 他的兇惡必反轉到自己頭上,他的橫暴必降落在自己的頂上。
His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
