Psalms 64

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

達味詩歌，交與樂官。 天主，求您傾聽我哀訴的聲音，從仇敵的恐嚇中保全我生命。

2 Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,

求您掩護我遠離惡人的陰險，使我脫免作奸犯科者的暴亂；

3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,

他們磨礪自己的舌頭有如刀劍，他們吐出有毒的語言有如弓箭：

4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.

暗地裏向無辜的人擊撾，肆無忌憚，突然將他刺殺。

5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

他們彼此激勵行惡，互相商議暗佈羅網；說：看見我們的究竟是誰？

6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

誰能查出我們的邪思﹖我們已作成精密陰謀，走近的人必墜入深溝。

7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.

但是，天主必要用箭射擊他們，他們必要突然身受創痕。

8 They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.

他們的舌頭必使自己跌仆，凡見到他們的人都必搖頭。

9 Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

眾人要恐懼，要傳述天主的作為，他們也都要細心默思他的事跡。

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.

義人必要喜樂於上主，向他投靠，心地正直的人，必要因此而歡躍。
