詩篇 56

1 非利士人在迦特拿住大衛。那時，他作這金詩，交與伶長。調用遠方無聲鴿。 上帝啊，求你憐憫我，因為人要把我吞了， 終日攻擊欺壓我。

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David on Michtam, concerning the dumme doue in a farre countrey, when the Philistims tooke him in Gath. Be mercifull vnto me, O God, for man would swallow me vp: he fighteth continually and vexeth me.

2 我的仇敵終日要把我吞了， 因逞驕傲攻擊我的人甚多。

Mine enemies would dayly swallowe mee vp: for many fight against me, O thou most High.

3 我懼怕的時候要倚靠你。

When I was afrayd, I trusted in thee.

4 我倚靠上帝，我要讚美他的話； 我倚靠上帝，必不懼怕。 血氣之輩能把我怎麼樣呢？

I will reioyce in God, because of his word, I trust in God, and will not feare what flesh can doe vnto me.

5 他們終日顛倒我的話； 他們一切的心思都是要害我。

Mine owne wordes grieue me dayly: all their thoughtes are against me to doe me hurt.

6 他們聚集，埋伏窺探我的腳蹤， 等候要害我的命。

They gather together, and keepe them selues close: they marke my steps, because they waite for my soule.

7 他們豈能因罪孽逃脫嗎？ 上帝啊，求你在怒中使眾民墮落！

They thinke they shall escape by iniquitie: O God, cast these people downe in thine anger.

8 我幾次流離，你都記數； 求你把我眼淚裝在你的皮袋裏。 這不都記在你冊子上嗎？

Thou hast counted my wandrings: put my teares into thy bottel: are they not in thy register?

9 我呼求的日子，我的仇敵都要轉身退後。 上帝幫助我，這是我所知道的。

When I cry, then mine enemies shall turne backe: this I know, for God is with me.

10 我倚靠上帝，我要讚美他的話； 我倚靠耶和華，我要讚美他的話。

I will reioyce in God because of his worde: in the Lord wil I reioyce because of his worde.

11 我倚靠上帝，必不懼怕。 人能把我怎麼樣呢？

In God doe I trust: I will not be afrayd what man can doe vnto me.

12 上帝啊，我向你所許的願在我身上； 我要將感謝祭獻給你。

Thy vowes are vpon me, O God: I will render prayses vnto thee.

13 因為你救我的命脫離死亡。 你豈不是救護我的腳不跌倒、 使我在生命光中行在上帝面前嗎？

For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, and also my feete from falling, that I may walke before God in the light of the liuing.
