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 the chief musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, by David, a Michtham, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.” Be gracious unto me, O God; for man longeth to swallow me up; all the time he oppresseth me fighting.

2 我的仇敵終日要把我吞了， 因逞驕傲攻擊我的人甚多。

Those that regard me with envy long to swallow [me] up all the time; for many are they that fight against me, O thou Most High.

3 我懼怕的時候要倚靠你。

The day [when] I am afraid, I will still trust 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？

In God will I praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid: what can flesh do unto me?

5 他們終日顛倒我的話； 他們一切的心思都是要害我。

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

6 他們聚集，埋伏窺探我的腳蹤， 等候要害我的命。

They come together in troops, they hide themselves, they are those that watch my heels, as though they hoped [to take] my soul.

7 他們豈能因罪孽逃脫嗎？ 上帝啊，求你在怒中使眾民墮落！

Because of their wrong-doing let me escape from them: in anger cast down the people, O God.

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？

My wanderings hast thou well numbered: put thou my tears into thy bottle; behold, they are numbered by thee.

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。

Then shall my enemies retire backward on the day when I call [on thee]: this I know—that God is for 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。

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

11 我倚靠上帝，必不懼怕。 人能把我怎麼樣呢？

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

Upon me, O God, [rest] thy vows: I will pay thanksgiving offerings unto 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 delivered my soul from death—yea, behold, my feet from slipping, that I may walk before God in the light of the life.
