< Psalms 54 >
1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when the Ziphites came to Saul and told him, “David is hiding among us.” God, because of your very nature, please save me! Vindicate me by your power!
西弗人來對掃羅說:「大衛豈不是在我們那裏藏身嗎?」那時,大衛作這訓誨詩,交與伶長。用絲弦的樂器。 上帝啊,求你以你的名救我, 憑你的大能為我伸冤。
2 God, please hear my prayer; listen to what I'm saying.
上帝啊,求你聽我的禱告, 留心聽我口中的言語。
3 For strangers are coming to attack me—violent men who don't care about God are trying to kill me. (Selah)
因為,外人起來攻擊我, 強暴人尋索我的命; 他們眼中沒有上帝。 (細拉)
4 But God helps me; the Lord saves my life!
上帝是幫助我的,是扶持我命的。
5 The evil my enemies have done will come back upon them. I depend on you to destroy them.
他要報應我仇敵所行的惡; 求你憑你的誠實滅絕他們。
6 I will happily offer a sacrifice to you; I will praise the kind of person you are, Lord, for you are good.
我要把甘心祭獻給你。 耶和華啊,我要稱讚你的名;這名本為美好。
7 For he has saved me from all my troubles; and I have seen those who hated me defeated.
他從一切的急難中把我救出來; 我的眼睛也看見了我仇敵遭報。
