Psalms 56

1 For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.

達味金詩，交與樂官。 天主，求你憐憫我，因為人要謀害我，時時處處有人欺壓我。

2 Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

我的仇敵終日謀害我，攻擊我的人實在眾多。

3 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.

至高者！恐惶侵襲我的時日，我只有全心仰賴你。

4 In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

我全心倚賴天主，並歌頌祂的許諾；我決不怕血肉的人，對我要做什麼。

5 All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.

他們終日破壞我的生活，千方百計地想加害於我；

6 They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

他們群集埋伏，窺伺我的行徑，他們等待時機，謀圖我的性命。

7 Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.

天主，求你審判他們的罪行；求你在盛怒中將異民敉平。

8 O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou has set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.

我多次流離失所，你都知悉，我的眼淚聚在你皮囊裏；豈不是也寫在你的書卷內？

9 Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.

我幾時呼號你，我的仇敵便退卻，從此我也全知道，天主常扶助我。

10 In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.

我全心倚賴天主，歌頌祂的許諾；

11 I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

決不怕脆弱的人，對我要做什麼。

12 The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

天主，我必遵守向你所許的願，我必要向你償還頌謝的祭獻。

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.

因為你救我脫離死亡，使我的腳免於跌仆，使我能在活人的光明中，在天主的面前行走。
