诗篇 55
1 大卫的训诲诗，交与伶长。用丝弦的乐器。 神啊，求你留心听我的祷告， 不要隐藏不听我的恳求！
Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 求你侧耳听我，应允我。 我哀叹不安，发声唉哼，
Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
3 都因仇敌的声音，恶人的欺压； 因为他们将罪孽加在我身上，发怒气逼迫我。
because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
4 我心在我里面甚是疼痛； 死的惊惶临到我身。
My heart is greatly pained within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 恐惧战兢归到我身； 惊恐漫过了我。
Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
6 我说：但愿我有翅膀像鸽子， 我就飞去，得享安息。
And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
7 我必远游， 宿在旷野。 (细拉)
Lo, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 我必速速逃到避所， 脱离狂风暴雨。
I would hasten myself to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.
9 主啊，求你吞灭他们，变乱他们的舌头！ 因为我在城中见了强暴争竞的事。
Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongue, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 他们在城墙上昼夜绕行； 在城内也有罪孽和奸恶。
Day and night they go about it, upon the walls of it. Iniquity and mischief also are in the midst of it.
11 邪恶在其中； 欺压和诡诈不离街市。
Wickedness is in the midst of it. Oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.
12 原来不是仇敌辱骂我， 若是仇敌，还可忍耐； 也不是恨我的人向我狂大， 若是恨我的人就必躲避他。
For it was not an enemy who reproached me. Then I could have borne it. Neither was it he who hated me that magnified himself against me. Then I would have hid myself from him.
13 不料是你；你原与我平等， 是我的同伴，是我知己的朋友！
But it was thou, a man my equal, my companion, and my familiar friend.
14 我们素常彼此谈论，以为甘甜； 我们与群众在 神的殿中同行。
We took sweet counsel together. We walked in the house of God with the throng.
Let death come suddenly upon them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 至于我，我要求告 神； 耶和华必拯救我。
As for me, I will call upon God, and Jehovah will save me.
17 我要晚上、早晨、晌午哀声悲叹； 他也必听我的声音。
Evening, and morning, and at noonday, I will complain and moan. And he will hear my voice.
18 他救赎我命脱离攻击我的人， 使我得享平安， 因为与我相争的人甚多。
He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, for there were many by me.
19 那没有更变、不敬畏 神的人， 从太古常存的 神必听见而苦待他。
God will hear, and respond to them, (even he who abides of old), (Selah) men who have no changes, and who fear not God.
20 他背了约， 伸手攻击与他和好的人。
He has put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him. He has profaned his covenant.
21 他的口如奶油光滑， 他的心却怀着争战； 他的话比油柔和， 其实是拔出来的刀。
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
22 你要把你的重担卸给耶和华， 他必抚养你； 他永不叫义人动摇。
(Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee. He will never allow the righteous man to be moved.)
23 神啊，你必使恶人下入灭亡的坑； 流人血、行诡诈的人必活不到半世， 但我要倚靠你。
But thou, O God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in thee.
