< Psalms 59 >
1 God, save me from my enemies! Protect me from those who want to attack me!
扫罗打发人窥探大卫的房屋,要杀他。那时,大卫作这金诗,交与伶长。调用休要毁坏。 我的 神啊,求你救我脱离仇敌, 把我安置在高处,得脱那些起来攻击我的人。
2 Rescue me from men who want to do what is wicked, men who are murderers!
求你救我脱离作孽的人 和喜爱流人血的人!
3 Look! They are waiting to kill me! Fierce men have gathered to assault me. Yahweh, they are doing that even though I have not done what is wrong!
因为,他们埋伏要害我的命; 有能力的人聚集来攻击我。 耶和华啊,这不是为我的过犯, 也不是为我的罪愆。
4 It is not because I have committed any sin [against them] that they run and get ready to attack me.
我虽然无过,他们预备整齐,跑来攻击我。 求你兴起鉴察,帮助我!
5 Yahweh my God, commander of the armies of heaven, the one we Israelis [worship], arise and punish the [ungodly/heathen people of] all the nations; do not be merciful to those [wicked people] who have (acted treacherously toward/secretly planned to harm) us.
万军之 神—耶和华以色列的 神啊! 求你兴起,惩治万邦! 不要怜悯行诡诈的恶人! (细拉)
6 They return each evening, snarling like vicious dogs [SIM] as they prowl around this city.
他们晚上转回, 叫号如狗,围城绕行。
7 They loudly say terrible things; they say [MTY] many things that [injure people like] [MET] swords do, but they think, “No one will [RHQ] hear us!”
他们口中喷吐恶言,嘴里有刀; 他们说:有谁听见?
8 But Yahweh, you laugh at them. You (scoff at/ridicule) the [people of the pagan] nations.
但你—耶和华必笑话他们; 你要嗤笑万邦。
9 God, I have confidence in you because you are very strong; you are my refuge.
我的力量啊,我必仰望你, 因为 神是我的高台。
10 Because you love me, you will come to save me; you will allow me to watch while you defeat my enemies.
我的 神要以慈爱迎接我; 神要叫我看见我仇敌遭报。
11 But do not kill them [immediately] in order that my people will not forget [how you punished them]! [Instead], Lord, [you who are like a] shield [that protects us] [MET], scatter them by your power, and [then] defeat them.
不要杀他们,恐怕我的民忘记。 主啊,你是我们的盾牌; 求你用你的能力使他们四散, 且降为卑。
12 Because what they say [MTY] is sinful, allow them to be trapped for being proud. Because they are [always] cursing and telling lies,
因他们口中的罪和嘴里的言语, 并咒骂虚谎的话, 愿他们在骄傲之中被缠住了。
13 because you are angry, get rid of them; destroy them completely in order that people will know that you rule over us, your Israeli people, and that you rule over all the earth.
求你发怒,使他们消灭, 以致归于无有, 叫他们知道 神在雅各中间掌权, 直到地极。 (细拉)
14 My enemies return each evening, snarling like [vicious] dogs as they prowl around this city.
到了晚上,任凭他们转回; 任凭他们叫号如狗,围城绕行。
15 They roam around, searching for food; and if they do not find enough, they growl.
他们必走来走去,寻找食物, 若不得饱就终夜在外。
16 But [as for me], I will sing about your power; [every] morning I will sing joyfully about your faithfully loving [us]. I will sing about how you protected me when I was [very] distressed.
但我要歌颂你的力量, 早晨要高唱你的慈爱; 因为你作过我的高台, 在我急难的日子作过我的避难所。
17 God, you are the one who enables me to be strong; you are my refuge; you faithfully love me.
我的力量啊,我要歌颂你; 因为 神是我的高台, 是赐恩与我的 神。
