诗篇 56

1 非利士人在迦特拿住大卫。那时，他作这金诗，交与伶长。调用远方无声鸽。 神啊，求你怜悯我，因为人要把我吞了， 终日攻击欺压我。

BE merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

2 我的仇敌终日要把我吞了， 因逞骄傲攻击我的人甚多。

Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

3 我惧怕的时候要倚靠你。

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

4 我倚靠 神，我要赞美他的话； 我倚靠 神，必不惧怕。 血气之辈能把我怎么样呢？

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

5 他们终日颠倒我的话； 他们一切的心思都是要害我。

Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 他们聚集，埋伏窥探我的脚踪， 等候要害我的命。

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

7 他们岂能因罪孽逃脱吗？ 神啊，求你在怒中使众民堕落！

Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

8 我几次流离，你都记数； 求你把我眼泪装在你的皮袋里。 这不都记在你册子上吗？

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

9 我呼求的日子，我的仇敌都要转身退后。 神帮助我，这是我所知道的。

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

10 我倚靠 神，我要赞美他的话； 我倚靠耶和华，我要赞美他的话。

In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.

11 我倚靠 神，必不惧怕。 人能把我怎么样呢？

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

12 神啊，我向你所许的愿在我身上； 我要将感谢祭献给你。

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

13 因为你救我的命脱离死亡。 你岂不是救护我的脚不跌倒、 使我在生命光中行在 神面前吗？

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
