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 "The Dove of God from the distant Sea." David’s. A precious Psalm. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter 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 adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.

3 我懼怕的時候要倚靠你。

What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.

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, I will praise his cause, —In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, 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, all their devices are for mischief;

6 他們聚集，埋伏窺探我的腳蹤， 等候要害我的命。

They stir up strife—they lie hid, They, mark my steps, —Seeing they have waited 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！

Because of iniquity, recompense thou them, —In anger, bring thou down, the peoples, 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 wandering, hast, thou, recorded, —Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?

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 foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!

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 with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;

11 我倚靠上帝，必不懼怕。 人能把我怎麼樣呢？

In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth 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, are thy vows, I will pay back praises 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 rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.
