Psalms 59
1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; set me on high from them that rise up against me.
掃羅打發人窺探大衛的房屋，要殺他。那時，大衛作這金詩，交與伶長。調用休要毀壞。 我的上帝啊，求你救我脫離仇敵， 把我安置在高處，得脫那些起來攻擊我的人。
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the men of blood.
求你救我脫離作孽的人 和喜愛流人血的人！
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather themselves together against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
因為，他們埋伏要害我的命； 有能力的人聚集來攻擊我。 耶和華啊，這不是為我的過犯， 也不是為我的罪愆。
4 Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold.
我雖然無過，他們預備整齊，跑來攻擊我。 求你興起鑒察，幫助我！
5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arouse Thyself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. (Selah)
萬軍之上帝－耶和華以色列的上帝啊！ 求你興起，懲治萬邦！ 不要憐憫行詭詐的惡人！ (細拉)
6 They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
他們晚上轉回， 叫號如狗，圍城繞行。
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: 'For who doth hear?'
他們口中噴吐惡言，嘴裏有刀； 他們說：有誰聽見？
8 But Thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the nations in derision.
但你－耶和華必笑話他們； 你要嗤笑萬邦。
9 Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for God is my high tower.
我的力量啊，我必仰望你， 因為上帝是我的高臺。
10 The God of my mercy will come to meet me; God will let me gaze upon mine adversaries.
我的上帝要以慈愛迎接我； 上帝要叫我看見我仇敵遭報。
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget, make them wander to and fro by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
不要殺他們，恐怕我的民忘記。 主啊，你是我們的盾牌； 求你用你的能力使他們四散， 且降為卑。
12 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak.
因他們口中的罪和嘴裏的言語， 並咒罵虛謊的話， 願他們在驕傲之中被纏住了。
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more; and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
求你發怒，使他們消滅， 以致歸於無有， 叫他們知道上帝在雅各中間掌權， 直到地極。 (細拉)
14 And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city;
到了晚上，任憑他們轉回； 任憑他們叫號如狗，圍城繞行。
15 They wander up and down to devour, and tarry all night if they have not their fill.
他們必走來走去，尋找食物， 若不得飽就終夜在外。
16 But as for me, I will sing of Thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; for Thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.
但我要歌頌你的力量， 早晨要高唱你的慈愛； 因為你作過我的高臺， 在我急難的日子作過我的避難所。
17 O my strength, unto Thee will I sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
我的力量啊，我要歌頌你； 因為上帝是我的高臺， 是賜恩與我的上帝。
