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！

God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.

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。

Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.

3 他們磨舌如刀， 發出苦毒的言語，好像比準了的箭，

The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.

4 要在暗地射完全人； 他們忽然射他，並不懼怕。

Without being afraid, they [lie about people and slander people] who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots [arrows] at his enemy [MET].

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 each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk [with each other] about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one [RHQ] will see what we are doing,

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。

because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!

7 但上帝要射他們； 他們忽然被箭射傷。

But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.

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。

Because of what they say [MTY], he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees [what has happened to] them will shake their heads [to ridicule them].

9 眾人都要害怕， 要傳揚上帝的工作， 並且明白他的作為。

And then everyone will be afraid [to sin because of what might happen to them, also]; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.

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。

Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]; they should go to him to (find protection/be safe); and all those who are godly will praise him.
