< Psalms 54 >
1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
達味訓誨歌,交與樂官,和以絃樂。 作於齊弗人來對撒烏耳說:「看,達味藏在我們這裡」時。 天主,求你因你的名賜我救援,求你並以你的權能為我伸冤。
2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.
天主,求你俯聽我的祈求,側耳傾聽我的投訴。
3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They have not set God before them. (Selah)
傲慢的人起來向我進攻,蠻橫的人想謀害我的生命,他們沒有把天主放在眼中。(休止)
4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
請看,天主必定給我助陣,上主必扶持我生命。
5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
求你使災禍報應在我的仇讎身上,求你憑你的忠誠將他們消除滅亡。
6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.
我要自願向上主祭獻;上主,我要對你的美名稱讚。
7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
因為你救我脫離了一切災難,使我親眼看見我的仇敵潰散。
