Psalms 55
1 To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a poem of David. Give ear to! O God prayer my and may not you hide yourself from supplication my.
達味訓誨歌，交與槳官。 天主，求你側耳傾聽我的祈禱，求你不要迴避我的哀告。
2 Pay attention! to me and answer me I am restless in complaint my and I am distraught.
求你俯視我，並垂允我，我痛苦憂傷，嘆息悲號：
3 From [the] sound of an enemy because of [the] pressure of [the] wicked for they drop on me wickedness and in anger they are hostile to me.
由於仇敵的叫囂，並因惡人的吵鬧，因加於我的災禍，怒中給我的騷擾，
4 Heart my it trembles within me and [the] terrors of death they have fallen on me.
我的心在我胸內焦灼，死亡的恐怖籠罩了我，
5 Fear and trembling it comes on me and it has covered me shuddering.
驚懼與戰慄侵襲了我，恐怖與煩惱淹沒了我。
6 And I said who? will he give [will belong] to me wing[s] like dove I want to fly away and I want to settle down.
我於是說：但願我有鴿子般的翅膀，為能飛翔而去，棲身安藏！
7 Here! I want to be far away [surely] to flee I want to lodge in the wilderness (Selah)
看，我必要逃往遠處，在荒涼的地方暫住；
8 I want to make haste a place of escape of me from a wind rushing from a storm.
從速尋找一個避難所，避過這一場風狂雨暴。
9 Confuse O Lord divide tongue their for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
我主，求你分散擾亂他們的語言，因我在城中只見到鬥爭與紛亂：
10 By day and night they go around it on walls its and wickedness and trouble [are] in midst its.
他們日夜在城牆上巡行，邪惡與欺壓在城中叢生。
11 Destruction [are] in midst its and not it departs from public square its oppression and deceit.
城池中已滿布詭計，霸道欺詐橫行街市。
12 For not an enemy he taunts me and I may endure not [one who] hates me on me he magnified himself then I may hide myself from him.
若是我的仇人辱罵我，我還可容忍；若是惱恨我者欺凌我，我尚可退隱；
13 And you a man according to value my close friend my and acquaintance my.
可惜是你，我的同僚，我的伙伴，我的友好；
14 Who together we made sweet counsel in [the] house of God we walked about in a crowd.
我們曾經推心置腹，無所諱言，在人群中走進了天主的聖殿。
15 (May it deceive death - *Q(K)*) on them may they go down Sheol alive for evil deeds [are] in sojourning-place their in inner being their. (Sheol h7585)
願死亡突襲他們，活活的墜入陰府！因為他們的居處和內心滿是惡毒。 (Sheol h7585)
16 I to God I will call out and Yahweh he will save me.
但我卻要呼號天主，上主必定予我救助。
17 Evening and morning and noon I will complain and I may murmur and he heard voice my.
不論在黃昏在清晨或在中午，我哀聲悲嘆，祂必聽我的苦訴。
18 He will ransom in peace life my from battle to me for many [people] they are with me.
祂必從迫害我的人中，救我然脫險，因為那些反對我的人，實在眾多難算。
19 He will hear - God - and he will answer them and [the one who] sits antiquity (Selah) whom not changes [belong] to them and not they fear God.
永遠為王的天主必要俯聽我，而把他們趕走，因為他們不知回心轉意，又不知敬愛天主。
20 He stretched out hands his on allies his he violated covenant his.
他們伸手攻擊自己的友好，他們任意訂立違背的盟約。
21 They were smooth - [the] creamy things of mouth his and [was] war heart his they were soft words his more than oil and they [were] drawn swords.
他們的容貌比奶油更光滑，心卻是好戰；他們的言語比脂粉還柔和，但口蜜腹劍。
22 Cast on Yahweh - burden your and he he will sustain you not he will permit for ever to shake to the righteous.
將你的重擔卸交上主，祂必扶持你，祂決對不會讓義人永遠動搖不止。
23 And you O God - you will bring down them - to [the] pit of [the] pit people of blood and deceit not they will divide in half days their and I I will trust in you.
天主，求你使他們墮入滅亡的深穴！兇手和奸詐的歹徒必定中年夭折。上主，但我卻要時常一心唯你是賴。
