Psalms 64

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

達味詩歌，交與樂官。 天主，求您傾聽我哀訴的聲音，從仇敵的恐嚇中保全我生命。

2 Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

求您掩護我遠離惡人的陰險，使我脫免作奸犯科者的暴亂；

3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

他們磨礪自己的舌頭有如刀劍，他們吐出有毒的語言有如弓箭：

4 That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

暗地裏向無辜的人擊撾，肆無忌憚，突然將他刺殺。

5 They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.

他們彼此激勵行惡，互相商議暗佈羅網；說：看見我們的究竟是誰？

6 They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

誰能查出我們的邪思﹖我們已作成精密陰謀，走近的人必墜入深溝。

7 But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

但是，天主必要用箭射擊他們，他們必要突然身受創痕。

8 So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

他們的舌頭必使自己跌仆，凡見到他們的人都必搖頭。

9 And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.

眾人要恐懼，要傳述天主的作為，他們也都要細心默思他的事跡。

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

義人必要喜樂於上主，向他投靠，心地正直的人，必要因此而歡躍。
