詩篇 59
1 掃羅打發人窺探大衛的房屋，要殺他。那時，大衛作這金詩，交與伶長。調用休要毀壞。 我的上帝啊，求你救我脫離仇敵， 把我安置在高處，得脫那些起來攻擊我的人。
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2 求你救我脫離作孽的人 和喜愛流人血的人！
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3 因為，他們埋伏要害我的命； 有能力的人聚集來攻擊我。 耶和華啊，這不是為我的過犯， 也不是為我的罪愆。
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD.
4 我雖然無過，他們預備整齊，跑來攻擊我。 求你興起鑒察，幫助我！
They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5 萬軍之上帝－耶和華以色列的上帝啊！ 求你興起，懲治萬邦！ 不要憐憫行詭詐的惡人！ (細拉)
Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
6 他們晚上轉回， 叫號如狗，圍城繞行。
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 他們口中噴吐惡言，嘴裏有刀； 他們說：有誰聽見？
Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?
8 但你－耶和華必笑話他們； 你要嗤笑萬邦。
But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9 我的力量啊，我必仰望你， 因為上帝是我的高臺。
[Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my defence.
10 我的上帝要以慈愛迎接我； 上帝要叫我看見我仇敵遭報。
The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
11 不要殺他們，恐怕我的民忘記。 主啊，你是我們的盾牌； 求你用你的能力使他們四散， 且降為卑。
Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12 因他們口中的罪和嘴裏的言語， 並咒罵虛謊的話， 願他們在驕傲之中被纏住了。
[For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying [which] they speak.
13 求你發怒，使他們消滅， 以致歸於無有， 叫他們知道上帝在雅各中間掌權， 直到地極。 (細拉)
Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may] not [be: ] and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 到了晚上，任憑他們轉回； 任憑他們叫號如狗，圍城繞行。
And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 他們必走來走去，尋找食物， 若不得飽就終夜在外。
Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16 但我要歌頌你的力量， 早晨要高唱你的慈愛； 因為你作過我的高臺， 在我急難的日子作過我的避難所。
But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 我的力量啊，我要歌頌你； 因為上帝是我的高臺， 是賜恩與我的上帝。
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defence, [and] the God of my mercy.
