Psalms 56

1 God, be merciful to me because men have harassed me; all day my enemies pursue 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 harass me all day long; there are many of them who proudly attack me.

我的仇敵終日謀害我，攻擊我的人實在眾多。

3 But whenever I am afraid, I trust in you.

至高者！恐惶侵襲我的時日，我只有全心仰賴你。

4 God, I praise/thank you because you do what you have promised; I trust in you, and then I am not afraid. Ordinary humans certainly cannot [RHQ] harm 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 day long my enemies claim that I said things that I did not say (OR, try to destroy what I am doing); they are always thinking of ways to harm me.

他們終日破壞我的生活，千方百計地想加害於我；

6 In order to cause trouble for me, they hide and watch everything that I do, waiting for [an opportunity] to kill me [MTY].

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 So, God, punish them for the wicked things that they are doing; show that you are angry by defeating those people!

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 [all] the times that I have been wandering alone/distressed; [it is as though] you have put [all] my tears in a bottle [in order that you can see how much I have cried]. [You have counted my tears and written] the number in your book.

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 When I call out to you, [my] God, my enemies will be defeated; I know that will happen, because you are fighting 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 I praise/thank you that you do what you have promised; Yahweh, I [will always] praise you for that [DOU].

我全心倚賴天主，歌頌祂的許諾；

11 I trust in you, and as a result, I will not be afraid. I know that humans cannot really [RHQ] harm me!

決不怕脆弱的人，對我要做什麼。

12 I will bring to you the offering that I promised; I will bring an offering to you to thank 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 because you have rescued me from being killed; you have kept me from stumbling. As a result, I will continue to live in your presence in the light that [shines on those who are still] alive (OR, in the light that [enables people to] live).

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。
