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, O YHWH, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit.

2 愿我的判语从你面前发出； 愿你的眼睛观看公正。

My judgment goes out from before You; Your eyes see uprightly.

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。

You have proved my heart, You have inspected by night, You have tried me, You find nothing; My thoughts do not pass over my mouth.

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。

As for doings of man, Through a word of Your lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;

5 我的脚踏定了你的路径； 我的两脚未曾滑跌。

To uphold my goings in Your paths, My steps have not slipped.

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 called You, for You answer me, O God, incline Your ear to me, 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。

Separate Your kindness wonderfully, O Savior of the confiding, By Your right hand, from withstanders.

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, the daughter of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your 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 face of the wicked who spoiled me, [From] my enemies in soul who go around against me.

10 他们的心被脂油包裹； 他们用口说骄傲的话。

They have closed up their fat, Their mouths have spoken with pride:

11 他们围困了我们的脚步； 他们瞪着眼，要把我们推倒在地。

“Our steps have now surrounded [him]”; They set their eyes to turn aside in the land.

12 他像狮子急要抓食， 又像少壮狮子蹲伏在暗处。

His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling 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 YHWH, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Your 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, Your hand, O YHWH, From men of the world, their portion [is] in life, And [with] Your hidden things You fill their belly, They are satisfied [with] sons, And have left their abundance to their sucklings.

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。

I—in righteousness, I see Your face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Your form!
