诗篇 17
1 大卫的祈祷。 耶和华啊，求你听闻公义， 侧耳听我的呼吁！ 求你留心听我这不出于诡诈嘴唇的祈祷！
A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips.
2 愿我的判语从你面前发出； 愿你的眼睛观看公正。
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 你已经试验我的心； 你在夜间鉴察我； 你熬炼我，却找不着什么； 我立志叫我口中没有过失。
Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.
4 论到人的行为，我借着你嘴唇的言语自己谨守， 不行强暴人的道路。
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.
5 我的脚踏定了你的路径； 我的两脚未曾滑跌。
Hold up my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not.
6 神啊，我曾求告你，因为你必应允我； 求你向我侧耳，听我的言语。
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, [ and hear] my speech.
7 求你显出你奇妙的慈爱来； 你是那用右手拯救投靠你的脱离起来攻击他们的人。
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them].
8 求你保护我，如同保护眼中的瞳人； 将我隐藏在你翅膀的荫下，
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 使我脱离那欺压我的恶人， 就是围困我要害我命的仇敌。
From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who] compass me about.
10 他们的心被脂油包裹； 他们用口说骄傲的话。
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 他们围困了我们的脚步； 他们瞪着眼，要把我们推倒在地。
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 他像狮子急要抓食， 又像少壮狮子蹲伏在暗处。
Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 耶和华啊，求你起来，前去迎敌，将他打倒！ 用你的刀救护我命脱离恶人。
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, [which is] thy sword:
14 耶和华啊，求你用手救我脱离世人， 脱离那只在今生有福分的世人！ 你把你的财宝充满他们的肚腹； 他们因有儿女就心满意足， 将其余的财物留给他们的婴孩。
From men [which are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, [which have] their portion in [this] life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure: ] they are full of children, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their babes.
15 至于我，我必在义中见你的面； 我醒了的时候，得见你的形象就心满意足了。
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
