Psalms 59
1 Unto the end, destroy not, for David for an inscription of It title, when Saul sent and watched his house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; and defend me from them 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 them that work 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 caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in upon me:
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 Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: without iniquity have I run, and directed my steps.
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 Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: even thou, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Attend to visit all the nations: have no mercy on all them that work iniquity.
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 shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall 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 speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us?
看，他們的唇舌宛如利劍，且滿口傲慢說：有誰聽見？
8 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing.
但是你，上主，你必嘲笑他們，你必譏諷這般異民。
9 I will keep my strength to thee: for thou art my protector:
我的力量，我只有仰望於你，因為你是天主，是我的堡壘。
10 My God, his mercy shall prevent me.
願那愛我的天主援助我，使我因仇敵失敗而歡樂！
11 God shall let me see over my enemies: slay them not, lest at any time my people forget. Scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my protector:
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: and let them be taken in their pride. And for their cursing and lying they shall be talked of,
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 When they are consumed: when they are consumed by thy wrath, and they shall be no more. And they shall know that God will rule Jacob, and all the ends of the earth.
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 shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall 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 abroad to eat, and shall murmur if they be not filled.
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 thy strength: and will extol thy mercy in the morning. For thou art become my support, and my refuge, in the day of my trouble.
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 Unto thee, O my helper, will I sing, for thou art God my defence: my God 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。
