< 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 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord about Cush, the Benjamite. Lord my God, I take refuge in you. Deliver me, save me from all who pursue me;
or like lions they will tear me to pieces, and rend me, past hope of rescue.
3 耶和华—我的 神啊,我若行了这事, 若有罪孽在我手里,
Lord, my God, if my life has been such if my hands have been stained with guilt,
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 friends I paid back with evil, if I plundered my foes 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)
may the enemy chase and find me, trample my life to the ground, my honour leave in the dirt! (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, Lord, in anger, against my foes rise in fury. Awake for my help: let justice be done.
Gather the nations about you, and sit on your lofty throne,
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。
as the Lord, the judge of the peoples. Judge me, Lord, in my innocence and according to my integrity.
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。
Put an end to the wrong of the wicked, protect the righteous. Searcher of hearts and minds, righteous God.
God is my shield: he 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 just judge, constant in righteous anger.
12 若有人不回头,他的刀必磨快, 弓必上弦,预备妥当了。
He will sharpen his sword without fail, his bow is bent and ready,
his deadly weapons are ready, his arrows he makes of flame.
14 试看恶人因奸恶而劬劳, 所怀的是毒害,所生的是虚假。
The enemy who conceives evil; pregnant with mischief, giving birth to lies,
15 他掘了坑,又挖深了, 竟掉在自己所挖的阱里。
a pit they have made and dug; but into the hole that they made they will fall.
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。
On their own heads their mischief comes back; on their own skulls their violence comes down.
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 the Lord for his justice, and sing to the name of the Lord Most High.
