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,

非利士人在迦特拿住大衛。那時，他作這金詩，交與伶長。調用遠方無聲鴿。 上帝啊，求你憐憫我，因為人要把我吞了， 終日攻擊欺壓我。

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

我的仇敵終日要把我吞了， 因逞驕傲攻擊我的人甚多。

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

我懼怕的時候要倚靠你。

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

我倚靠上帝，我要讚美他的話； 我倚靠上帝，必不懼怕。 血氣之輩能把我怎麼樣呢？

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

他們終日顛倒我的話； 他們一切的心思都是要害我。

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

他們聚集，埋伏窺探我的腳蹤， 等候要害我的命。

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

他們豈能因罪孽逃脫嗎？ 上帝啊，求你在怒中使眾民墮落！

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

我幾次流離，你都記數； 求你把我眼淚裝在你的皮袋裏。 這不都記在你冊子上嗎？

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

我呼求的日子，我的仇敵都要轉身退後。 上帝幫助我，這是我所知道的。

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

我倚靠上帝，我要讚美他的話； 我倚靠耶和華，我要讚美他的話。

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

我倚靠上帝，必不懼怕。 人能把我怎麼樣呢？

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

上帝啊，我向你所許的願在我身上； 我要將感謝祭獻給你。

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!

因為你救我的命脫離死亡。 你豈不是救護我的腳不跌倒、 使我在生命光中行在上帝面前嗎？
