Psalms 7
1 A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
【苦中投奔於主】 達味有感於本雅明族人的話，向上主唱流離之歌。 上主，我的天主！我一心投奔你；求你助我逃脫一切追逐我的人，求你救拔我；
2 or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
免得有人像獅子一般撕裂我時，無人搭救我。
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,
上主！如果我真做了這事，我主！在我手中就真有罪！
4 if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,
我若真加害過我的友好，或無故把我的仇敵劫掠；
5 then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust.
就讓敵人追逐我，擒獲我，把我的性命踐踏在污地，將我的光榮歸諸於泥灰。
6 Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
上主，求你震怒奮起，前來克制我仇的暴慢。我的天主，求你醒起助我，施行你定的斷案。
7 Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
願萬民聚齊環繞著你。願你回駕由高處鑒視。
8 The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
上主，萬民的審判者! 上主，請照我的正義，請按我的無罪，護衛我的權利。
9 Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
公義的天主! 惟你洞察肺腑和人心，願惡人的毒害停止，求你堅固義人!
10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
天主是我的護盾，給心正的人助陣。
11 God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
天主是公義的審判者，對怙惡的人終日怒嚇。
12 If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
仇人雖然磨刀擦劍，開弓拉弦準備射箭；
13 He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.
那只是為自己預備死亡的武器，為自己製造帶火的箭矢。
14 Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
試看，他既孕惡懷毒，自然就要產生虛無，
15 He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
他挖掘坑穴，擺布陷阱，勢必落在自備的窖中。
16 His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
他的兇惡必反轉到自己頭上，他的橫暴必降落在自己的頂上。
17 I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
我要稱謝上主的公道，歌頌至高上主的名號。
