Psalms 59
1 For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O God; and ransom me from those that rise up against me.
達味金詩，交與樂官。調寄「莫要毀壞」。 我主，求你由我的仇敵中，救我免難，求你從攻擊我者中，使戈脫險；
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
求你救我脫離為非作歹的人，求你救我脫離好流人血的人。
3 For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; violent men have set upon me: neither [is it] my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.
上主，你看，我雖然沒有作過惡，沒有犯過罪，但強橫人為害我的性命，卻群起與我作對。
4 Without iniquity I ran and directed [my course aright]: awake to help me, and behold.
我雖然無辜，他們卻跑來挑戰，求你醒來扶助我，且予以察看。
5 And you, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, draw near to visit all the heathen; pity not any that work iniquity. (Pause)
因為你是上主，萬軍的天主，以色列的天主，醒來嚴罰這些群眾，別恩待這些背信的惡徒。
6 They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.
他們晚上歸來，狂吠如犬，他們環繞城池，四周圍轉。
7 Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips; for who, [say they], has heard?
看，他們的唇舌宛如利劍，且滿口傲慢說：有誰聽見？
8 But you, Lord, will laugh them to scorn; you will utterly set at nothing all the heathen.
但是你，上主，你必嘲笑他們，你必譏諷這般異民。
9 will keep my strength, [looking] to you; for you, O God, are my helper.
我的力量，我只有仰望於你，因為你是天主，是我的堡壘。
10 [As for] my God, his mercy shall go before me: my God will show me [vengeance] on mine enemies.
願那愛我的天主援助我，使我因仇敵失敗而歡樂！
11 Slay them not, lest they forget your law; scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord, my defender.
天主，求你擊殺他們，免得侵犯我的人民；上主，我的謢盾，你以強力制服他們。
12 [For] the sin of their mouth, [and] the word of their lips, let them be even taken in their pride.
他們口唇所說的話語：就是他們口舌的罪過，他們因自己的驕傲咒罵與謊言，自陷網羅！
13 And for [their] cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced: [they shall fall] by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be; so shall they know that the God of Jacob is Lord of the ends of the earth. (Pause)
求你發怒滅絕他們，滅絕他們無一存立，使人知道：天主在雅各伯為王直達地極。
14 They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.
他們晚上歸來，狂吠如犬，他們環繞城池，四周圍轉。
15 They shall be scattered hither and there for meat; and if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.
他們到處遊蕩，覓食餬口。若不得飽食，便狂吠不休。
16 But I will sing to your strength, and in the morning will I exult [in] your mercy; for you have been my supporter, and my refuge in the day of mine affliction.
但是我要稱你的威能，每日清晨歡呼你的寬仁，因為只有你是我的碉堡，是我困厄時日的避難所。
17 [You are] my helper; to you, my God, will I sing; you are my supporter, O my God, [and] my mercy.
我的力量，我只有向你歡唱，因為只有你是天主，是我的保障。你是我的天主，你對我慈祥。
