< 诗篇 7 >
1 大卫指着便雅悯人古实的话,向耶和华唱的流离歌。 耶和华—我的 神啊,我投靠你! 求你救我脱离一切追赶我的人,将我救拔出来!
[A meditation by David, which he sang to YHWH, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.] YHWH, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 耶和华—我的 神啊,我若行了这事, 若有罪孽在我手里,
YHWH, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
4 我若以恶报那与我交好的人— 连那无故与我为敌的,我也救了他,
if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, or oppressed my enemy without cause,
5 就任凭仇敌追赶我,直到追上, 将我的性命踏在地下, 使我的荣耀归于灰尘。 (细拉)
let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
6 耶和华啊,求你在怒中起来, 挺身而立,抵挡我敌人的暴怒! 求你为我兴起!你已经命定施行审判!
Arise, YHWH, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake, my God; you have appointed judgment.
And let the congregation of the peoples surround you, and rule over them on high.
8 耶和华向众民施行审判; 耶和华啊,求你按我的公义和我心中的纯正判断我。
YHWH administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, YHWH, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
9 愿恶人的恶断绝! 愿你坚立义人! 因为公义的 神察验人的心肠肺腑。
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. The righteous God tests hearts and minds.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 神是公义的审判者, 又是天天向恶人发怒的 神。
God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.
12 若有人不回头,他的刀必磨快, 弓必上弦,预备妥当了。
If a man doesn't relent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.
He has also prepared for himself deadly weapons. He makes ready his flaming arrows.
14 试看恶人因奸恶而劬劳, 所怀的是毒害,所生的是虚假。
Look, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 他掘了坑,又挖深了, 竟掉在自己所挖的阱里。
He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.
16 他的毒害必临到他自己的头上; 他的强暴必落到他自己的脑袋上。
The trouble he causes shall return to his own head, and his violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
17 我要照着耶和华的公义称谢他, 歌颂耶和华至高者的名。
I will give thanks to YHWH according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of YHWH Most High.
