Psalms 59
1 God, save me from my enemies! Protect me from those who want to attack me!
掃羅打發人窺探大衛的房屋，要殺他。那時，大衛作這金詩，交與伶長。調用休要毀壞。 我的上帝啊，求你救我脫離仇敵， 把我安置在高處，得脫那些起來攻擊我的人。
2 Rescue me from men who want to do what is wicked, men who are murderers!
求你救我脫離作孽的人 和喜愛流人血的人！
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!
因為，他們埋伏要害我的命； 有能力的人聚集來攻擊我。 耶和華啊，這不是為我的過犯， 也不是為我的罪愆。
4 It is not because I have committed any sin [against them] that they run and get ready to attack me.
我雖然無過，他們預備整齊，跑來攻擊我。 求你興起鑒察，幫助我！
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.
萬軍之上帝－耶和華以色列的上帝啊！ 求你興起，懲治萬邦！ 不要憐憫行詭詐的惡人！ (細拉)
6 They return each evening, snarling like vicious dogs [SIM] as they prowl around this city.
他們晚上轉回， 叫號如狗，圍城繞行。
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!”
他們口中噴吐惡言，嘴裏有刀； 他們說：有誰聽見？
8 But Yahweh, you laugh at them. You (scoff at/ridicule) the [people of the pagan] nations.
但你－耶和華必笑話他們； 你要嗤笑萬邦。
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， 因為上帝是我的高臺。
10 Because you love me, you will come to save me; you will allow me to watch while you defeat my enemies.
我的上帝要以慈愛迎接我； 上帝要叫我看見我仇敵遭報。
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.
不要殺他們，恐怕我的民忘記。 主啊，你是我們的盾牌； 求你用你的能力使他們四散， 且降為卑。
12 Because what they say [MTY] is sinful, allow them to be trapped for being proud. Because they are [always] cursing and telling lies,
因他們口中的罪和嘴裏的言語， 並咒罵虛謊的話， 願他們在驕傲之中被纏住了。
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.
求你發怒，使他們消滅， 以致歸於無有， 叫他們知道上帝在雅各中間掌權， 直到地極。 (細拉)
14 My enemies return each evening, snarling like [vicious] dogs as they prowl around this city.
到了晚上，任憑他們轉回； 任憑他們叫號如狗，圍城繞行。
15 They roam around, searching for food; and if they do not find enough, they growl.
他們必走來走去，尋找食物， 若不得飽就終夜在外。
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.
但我要歌頌你的力量， 早晨要高唱你的慈愛； 因為你作過我的高臺， 在我急難的日子作過我的避難所。
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，我要歌頌你； 因為上帝是我的高臺， 是賜恩與我的上帝。
