Psalms 7
1 Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me. Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me [in order to harm me].
大衛指着便雅憫人古實的話，向耶和華唱的流離歌。 耶和華－我的上帝啊，我投靠你！ 求你救我脫離一切追趕我的人，將我救拔出來！
2 If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces like a lion does [when it attacks the animals it wants to kill], and no one will save me [from them].
恐怕他們像獅子撕裂我， 甚至撕碎，無人搭救。
3 Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
耶和華－我的上帝啊，我若行了這事， 若有罪孽在我手裏，
4 if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me, or if, for no good reason, I have spared (OR, acted violently toward) those who were my enemies,
我若以惡報那與我交好的人－ 連那無故與我為敵的，我也救了他，
5 allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me [SYN] [lying dead] in the dirt.
就任憑仇敵追趕我，直到追上， 將我的性命踏在地下， 使我的榮耀歸於灰塵。 (細拉)
6 But Yahweh, because you are [very] angry [with those who pursue me], arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily [attacking me] Do to them what is just!
耶和華啊，求你在怒中起來， 挺身而立，抵擋我敵人的暴怒！ 求你為我興起！你已經命定施行審判！
7 Gather around you the people of [all] nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven [MTY].
願眾民的會環繞你！ 願你從其上歸於高位！
8 Yahweh, judge the people of [all] nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.
耶和華向眾民施行審判； 耶和華啊，求你按我的公義和我心中的純正判斷我。
9 God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you [always] do what is just/right. [So now] stop evil people from doing wicked [deeds], and defend [all of us who are] righteous!
願惡人的惡斷絕！ 願你堅立義人！ 因為公義的上帝察驗人的心腸肺腑。
10 God, you protect me like a shield [protects soldiers] [MET]; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
上帝是我的盾牌； 他拯救心裏正直的人。
11 You judge [everyone] correctly, and every day you punish [wicked people].
上帝是公義的審判者， 又是天天向惡人發怒的上帝。
12 Whenever your enemies do not (repent/change their behavior), [it is as though] [MET] you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow [to get ready to kill them].
若有人不回頭，他的刀必磨快， 弓必上弦，預備妥當了。
13 You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
他也預備了殺人的器械； 他所射的是火箭。
14 Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do [MET] the evil things that they are planning to do [just as surely as] a pregnant woman [knows that she is going to give birth to a child] [MET].
試看惡人因奸惡而劬勞， 所懷的是毒害，所生的是虛假。
15 But when they dig a deep pit [to trap others], they themselves will fall into it.
他掘了坑，又挖深了， 竟掉在自己所挖的阱裏。
16 They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
他的毒害必臨到他自己的頭上； 他的強暴必落到他自己的腦袋上。
17 I praise Yahweh because he [always acts] righteously/justly; I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
我要照着耶和華的公義稱謝他， 歌頌耶和華至高者的名。
