Psalms 64

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear 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 secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection 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 whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

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 at the perfect: 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 themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall 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 accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

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 shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

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 shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

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 shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of 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 Yhwh, and shall trust 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。
