Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me;
【苦中投奔於主】 達味有感於本雅明族人的話，向上主唱流離之歌。 上主，我的天主！我一心投奔你；求你助我逃脫一切追逐我的人，求你救拔我；
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
免得有人像獅子一般撕裂我時，無人搭救我。
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
上主！如果我真做了這事，我主！在我手中就真有罪！
4 If I have requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness;
我若真加害過我的友好，或無故把我的仇敵劫掠；
5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
就讓敵人追逐我，擒獲我，把我的性命踐踏在污地，將我的光榮歸諸於泥灰。
6 Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.
上主，求你震怒奮起，前來克制我仇的暴慢。我的天主，求你醒起助我，施行你定的斷案。
7 And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high.
願萬民聚齊環繞著你。願你回駕由高處鑒視。
8 O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
上主，萬民的審判者! 上主，請照我的正義，請按我的無罪，護衛我的權利。
9 Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins.
公義的天主! 惟你洞察肺腑和人心，願惡人的毒害停止，求你堅固義人!
10 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
天主是我的護盾，給心正的人助陣。
11 God is a righteous judge, yea, a God that hath indignation every day:
天主是公義的審判者，對怙惡的人終日怒嚇。
12 If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;
仇人雖然磨刀擦劍，開弓拉弦準備射箭；
13 He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.
那只是為自己預備死亡的武器，為自己製造帶火的箭矢。
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
試看，他既孕惡懷毒，自然就要產生虛無，
15 He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
他挖掘坑穴，擺布陷阱，勢必落在自備的窖中。
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
他的兇惡必反轉到自己頭上，他的橫暴必降落在自己的頂上。
17 I will give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
我要稱謝上主的公道，歌頌至高上主的名號。
