Psalms 35
1 BY DAVID. Strive, YHWH, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
大衛的詩。 耶和華啊，與我相爭的，求你與他們相爭！ 與我相戰的，求你與他們相戰！
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
拿着大小的盾牌， 起來幫助我。
3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, “I [am] your salvation.”
抽出槍來，擋住那追趕我的； 求你對我的靈魂說：我是拯救你的。
4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
願那尋索我命的，蒙羞受辱！ 願那謀害我的，退後羞愧！
5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of YHWH driving away.
願他們像風前的糠， 有耶和華的使者趕逐他們。
6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of YHWH—their pursuer.
願他們的道路又暗又滑， 有耶和華的使者追趕他們。
7 For without cause they hid their net [in] a pit for me, Without cause they dug for my soul.
因他們無故地為我暗設網羅， 無故地挖坑，要害我的性命。
8 Desolation meets him—he does not know, And his net that he hid catches him, He falls into it for desolation.
願災禍忽然臨到他身上！ 願他暗設的網纏住自己！ 願他落在其中遭災禍！
9 And my soul is joyful in YHWH, It rejoices in His salvation.
我的心必靠耶和華快樂， 靠他的救恩高興。
10 All my bones say, “YHWH, who is like You, Delivering the poor from the [one] stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.”
我的骨頭都要說： 耶和華啊，誰能像你 救護困苦人脫離那比他強壯的， 救護困苦窮乏人脫離那搶奪他的？
11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
凶惡的見證人起來， 盤問我所不知道的事。
12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
他們向我以惡報善， 使我的靈魂孤苦。
13 And I—in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled my soul with fastings, And my prayer returns to my bosom.
至於我，當他們有病的時候， 我便穿麻衣，禁食，刻苦己心； 我所求的都歸到自己的懷中。
14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I habitually walked, As a mourner for a mother, I have bowed down mourning.
我這樣行，好像他是我的朋友，我的弟兄； 我屈身悲哀，如同人為母親哀痛。
15 And they have rejoiced in my halting, And have been gathered together, The strikers were gathered against me, And I have not known, They have torn, and they have not ceased;
我在患難中，他們卻歡喜，大家聚集。 我所不認識的那些下流人聚集攻擊我； 他們不住地把我撕裂。
16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing their teeth against me.
他們如同席上好嬉笑的狂妄人向我咬牙。
17 Lord, how long do You behold? Keep my soul back from their desolations, My only one from young lions.
主啊，你看着不理要到幾時呢？ 求你救我的靈魂脫離他們的殘害！ 救我的生命脫離少壯獅子！
18 I thank You in a great assembly, I praise You among a mighty people.
我在大會中要稱謝你， 在眾民中要讚美你。
19 Do not let my enemies rejoice over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
求你不容那無理與我為仇的向我誇耀！ 不容那無故恨我的向我擠眼！
20 For they do not speak peace, And against the quiet of the land, They devise deceitful words,
因為他們不說和平話， 倒想出詭詐的言語害地上的安靜人。
21 And they enlarge their mouth against me, They said, “Aha, aha, our eye has seen.”
他們大大張口攻擊我，說： 阿哈，阿哈，我們的眼已經看見了！
22 You have seen, O YHWH, Do not be silent, O Lord—do not be far from me,
耶和華啊，你已經看見了，求你不要閉口！ 主啊，求你不要遠離我！
23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
我的上帝我的主啊，求你奮興醒起， 判清我的事，伸明我的冤！
24 Judge me according to Your righteousness, O YHWH my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
耶和華－我的上帝啊，求你按你的公義判斷我， 不容他們向我誇耀！
25 They do not say in their heart, “Aha, our desire.” They do not say, “We swallowed him up.”
不容他們心裏說：阿哈，遂我們的心願了！ 不容他們說：我們已經把他吞了！
26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
願那喜歡我遭難的一同抱愧蒙羞！ 願那向我妄自尊大的披慚愧，蒙羞辱！
27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they continually say, “YHWH is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.”
願那喜悅我冤屈得伸的歡呼快樂； 願他們常說：當尊耶和華為大！ 耶和華喜悅他的僕人平安。
28 And my tongue utters Your righteousness, All the day Your praise!
我的舌頭要終日論說你的公義， 時常讚美你。
