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。

“For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “The dumb dove among strangers.” A psalm of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.” Have pity upon me, O God! for man panteth for my life; My adversary daily oppresseth 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 daily pant for my life, And many are they who war proudly against me.

3 我懼怕的時候要倚靠你。

When I am in fear, I will put my 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？

Through God shall I praise his word; In God do I put my trust; I will not fear; What can flesh do to me?

5 他們終日顛倒我的話； 他們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 他們聚集，埋伏窺探我的腳蹤， 等候要害我的命。

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, Lying in wait for my life.

7 他們豈能因罪孽逃脫嗎？ 上帝啊，求你在怒中使眾民墮落！

Shall they escape by their iniquity? In thine 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？

Count thou my wanderings; Put my tears into thy bottle! Are they not recorded in thy book?

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 to thee, my enemies shall turn back; 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。

Through God shall I praise his word; I shall glory in the promise of Jehovah.

11 我倚靠上帝，必不懼怕。 人能把我怎麼樣呢？

In God do I put my trust; I will not fear: What can man do to 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 vows are upon me, O God! I will render praises to 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 me from death, Yea, my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
