Psalms 56

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David on Michtam, concerning the dumme doue in a farre countrey, when the Philistims tooke him in Gath. Be mercifull vnto me, O God, for man would swallow me vp: he fighteth continually and vexeth me.

非利士人在迦特拿住大卫。那时，他作这金诗，交与伶长。调用远方无声鸽。 神啊，求你怜悯我，因为人要把我吞了， 终日攻击欺压我。

2 Mine enemies would dayly swallowe mee vp: for many fight against me, O thou most High.

我的仇敌终日要把我吞了， 因逞骄傲攻击我的人甚多。

3 When I was afrayd, I trusted in thee.

我惧怕的时候要倚靠你。

4 I will reioyce in God, because of his word, I trust in God, and will not feare what flesh can doe vnto me.

我倚靠 神，我要赞美他的话； 我倚靠 神，必不惧怕。 血气之辈能把我怎么样呢？

5 Mine owne wordes grieue me dayly: all their thoughtes are against me to doe me hurt.

他们终日颠倒我的话； 他们一切的心思都是要害我。

6 They gather together, and keepe them selues close: they marke my steps, because they waite for my soule.

他们聚集，埋伏窥探我的脚踪， 等候要害我的命。

7 They thinke they shall escape by iniquitie: O God, cast these people downe in thine anger.

他们岂能因罪孽逃脱吗？ 神啊，求你在怒中使众民堕落！

8 Thou hast counted my wandrings: put my teares into thy bottel: are they not in thy register?

我几次流离，你都记数； 求你把我眼泪装在你的皮袋里。 这不都记在你册子上吗？

9 When I cry, then mine enemies shall turne backe: this I know, for God is with me.

我呼求的日子，我的仇敌都要转身退后。 神帮助我，这是我所知道的。

10 I will reioyce in God because of his worde: in the Lord wil I reioyce because of his worde.

我倚靠 神，我要赞美他的话； 我倚靠耶和华，我要赞美他的话。

11 In God doe I trust: I will not be afrayd what man can doe vnto me.

我倚靠 神，必不惧怕。 人能把我怎么样呢？

12 Thy vowes are vpon me, O God: I will render prayses vnto thee.

神啊，我向你所许的愿在我身上； 我要将感谢祭献给你。

13 For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, and also my feete from falling, that I may walke before God in the light of the liuing.

因为你救我的命脱离死亡。 你岂不是救护我的脚不跌倒、 使我在生命光中行在 神面前吗？
