詩篇 64

1 大衛的詩，交與伶長。 上帝啊，我哀歎的時候，求你聽我的聲音！ 求你保護我的性命，不受仇敵的驚恐！

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 求你把我隱藏， 使我脫離作惡之人的暗謀和作孽之人的擾亂。

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

3 他們磨舌如刀， 發出苦毒的言語，好像比準了的箭，

who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

4 要在暗地射完全人； 他們忽然射他，並不懼怕。

to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

5 他們彼此勉勵設下惡計； 他們商量暗設網羅， 說：誰能看見？

They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"

6 他們圖謀奸惡， 說：我們是極力圖謀的。 他們各人的意念心思是深的。

They plot injustice; they hide a well-conceived plan. Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.

7 但上帝要射他們； 他們忽然被箭射傷。

But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

8 他們必然絆跌，被自己的舌頭所害； 凡看見他們的必都搖頭。

Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

9 眾人都要害怕， 要傳揚上帝的工作， 並且明白他的作為。

All humankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

10 義人必因耶和華歡喜， 並要投靠他； 凡心裏正直的人都要誇口。

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him.
