Psalms 56

1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “A SILENT DOVE FAR OFF.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN THE PHILISTINES’ TAKING HOLD OF HIM IN GATH. Favor me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresses me,

達味金詩，交與樂官。 天主，求你憐憫我，因為人要謀害我，時時處處有人欺壓我。

2 My enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O Most High,

我的仇敵終日謀害我，攻擊我的人實在眾多。

3 [In] the day I am afraid I am confident toward You.

至高者！恐惶侵襲我的時日，我只有全心仰賴你。

4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I do not fear what flesh does to me.

我全心倚賴天主，並歌頌祂的許諾；我決不怕血肉的人，對我要做什麼。

5 All the day they wrest my words, All their thoughts [are] for evil concerning me,

他們終日破壞我的生活，千方百計地想加害於我；

6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

他們群集埋伏，窺伺我的行徑，他們等待時機，謀圖我的性命。

7 They escape by iniquity, In anger put down the peoples, O God.

天主，求你審判他們的罪行；求你在盛怒中將異民敉平。

8 You have counted my wandering, You place my tear in Your bottle, Are they not in Your scroll?

我多次流離失所，你都知悉，我的眼淚聚在你皮囊裏；豈不是也寫在你的書卷內？

9 Then turn back my enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.

我幾時呼號你，我的仇敵便退卻，從此我也全知道，天主常扶助我。

10 In God I praise the word, In YHWH I praise the word.

我全心倚賴天主，歌頌祂的許諾；

11 In God I trusted, I do not fear what man does to me,

決不怕脆弱的人，對我要做什麼。

12 On me, O God, [are] Your vows, I repay thank-offerings to You.

天主，我必遵守向你所許的願，我必要向你償還頌謝的祭獻。

13 For You have delivered my soul from death, Do You not [keep] my feet from falling? To habitually walk before God in the light of the living!

因為你救我脫離死亡，使我的腳免於跌仆，使我能在活人的光明中，在天主的面前行走。
