< Psalms 59 >

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.
扫罗打发人窥探大卫的房屋,要杀他。那时,大卫作这金诗,交与伶长。调用休要毁坏。 我的 神啊,求你救我脱离仇敌, 把我安置在高处,得脱那些起来攻击我的人。
2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.
求你救我脱离作孽的人 和喜爱流人血的人!
3 See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.
因为,他们埋伏要害我的命; 有能力的人聚集来攻击我。 耶和华啊,这不是为我的过犯, 也不是为我的罪愆。
4 For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.
我虽然无过,他们预备整齐,跑来攻击我。 求你兴起鉴察,帮助我!
5 O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors.
万军之 神—耶和华以色列的 神啊! 求你兴起,惩治万邦! 不要怜悯行诡诈的恶人! (细拉)
6 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
他们晚上转回, 叫号如狗,围城绕行。
7 See what they spew from their mouths— sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”
他们口中喷吐恶言,嘴里有刀; 他们说:有谁听见?
8 But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.
但你—耶和华必笑话他们; 你要嗤笑万邦。
9 I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.
我的力量啊,我必仰望你, 因为 神是我的高台。
10 My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.
我的 神要以慈爱迎接我; 神要叫我看见我仇敌遭报。
11 Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
不要杀他们,恐怕我的民忘记。 主啊,你是我们的盾牌; 求你用你的能力使他们四散, 且降为卑。
12 By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.
因他们口中的罪和嘴里的言语, 并咒骂虚谎的话, 愿他们在骄傲之中被缠住了。
13 Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.
求你发怒,使他们消灭, 以致归于无有, 叫他们知道 神在雅各中间掌权, 直到地极。 (细拉)
14 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
到了晚上,任凭他们转回; 任凭他们叫号如狗,围城绕行。
15 They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.
他们必走来走去,寻找食物, 若不得饱就终夜在外。
16 But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
但我要歌颂你的力量, 早晨要高唱你的慈爱; 因为你作过我的高台, 在我急难的日子作过我的避难所。
17 To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.
我的力量啊,我要歌颂你; 因为 神是我的高台, 是赐恩与我的 神。
