< Psalms 59 >
1 For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David, concerning the time Saul sent out soldiers to watch David's house in order to kill him. Rescue me from my enemies, God! Protect me from those who are attacking me!
扫罗打发人窥探大卫的房屋,要杀他。那时,大卫作这金诗,交与伶长。调用休要毁坏。 我的 神啊,求你救我脱离仇敌, 把我安置在高处,得脱那些起来攻击我的人。
2 Rescue me from these evil people! Save me from these murderers!
求你救我脱离作孽的人 和喜爱流人血的人!
3 See how they're lying in wait to kill me! Powerful men are gathered against me, Lord, even though I have not sinned or done anything wrong.
因为,他们埋伏要害我的命; 有能力的人聚集来攻击我。 耶和华啊,这不是为我的过犯, 也不是为我的罪愆。
4 Even though I'm not guilty they hurry to prepare an attack on me. Please stand up, come and help me, and see what's going on.
我虽然无过,他们预备整齐,跑来攻击我。 求你兴起鉴察,帮助我!
5 You are God, the Lord Almighty, God of Israel. Stand up, and punish all the nations. Don't have any mercy on these evil traitors. (Selah)
万军之 神—耶和华以色列的 神啊! 求你兴起,惩治万邦! 不要怜悯行诡诈的恶人! (细拉)
6 In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
他们晚上转回, 叫号如狗,围城绕行。
7 See what evil talk comes pouring out of their mouths! Words sharp as swords, for they say to themselves, “Who can hear us?”
他们口中喷吐恶言,嘴里有刀; 他们说:有谁听见?
8 But you, Lord, you laugh at them; you pour scorn on all the nations.
但你—耶和华必笑话他们; 你要嗤笑万邦。
9 You are my strength! I will look to you, God, for you are the one who protects me.
我的力量啊,我必仰望你, 因为 神是我的高台。
10 In his trustworthy love, God will come and save me. He will show me how my enemies are defeated.
我的 神要以慈爱迎接我; 神要叫我看见我仇敌遭报。
11 Don't kill them right away, otherwise my people will quickly forget what you have done. By your power make them stagger around and then fall down, Lord our protection.
不要杀他们,恐怕我的民忘记。 主啊,你是我们的盾牌; 求你用你的能力使他们四散, 且降为卑。
12 Let them be caught out by the evil things they say, the words they proudly speak—brought down by their curses and the lies they tell!
因他们口中的罪和嘴里的言语, 并咒骂虚谎的话, 愿他们在骄傲之中被缠住了。
13 Destroy them in your anger! Destroy them completely! Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel!
求你发怒,使他们消灭, 以致归于无有, 叫他们知道 神在雅各中间掌权, 直到地极。 (细拉)
14 In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
到了晚上,任凭他们转回; 任凭他们叫号如狗,围城绕行。
15 They wander around, looking for things to eat, and howl when they're not satisfied.
他们必走来走去,寻找食物, 若不得饱就终夜在外。
16 But I will sing of your strength; in the morning I will sing for joy about your trustworthy love. For you have been my protection; my place of safety in my time of trouble.
但我要歌颂你的力量, 早晨要高唱你的慈爱; 因为你作过我的高台, 在我急难的日子作过我的避难所。
17 You are my strength, I sing praises to you, for you are the one who protects me—the God who shows me his trustworthy love!
我的力量啊,我要歌颂你; 因为 神是我的高台, 是赐恩与我的 神。
