< Psalms 54 >
1 For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy 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 O God, hear my prayer; hearken 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, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)
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 For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.
請看,天主必定給我助陣,上主必扶持我生命。
5 He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy 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 I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O 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 thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine 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。
