Psalms 56

1 For the chief musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A psalm of David. A michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for men are attacking me! All the day long those who fight me press their assault.

ああ神よねがはくは我をあはれみたまへ 人いきまきて我をのまんとし終日たたかひて我をしへたぐ

2 My enemies trample me all day long; for there are many who arrogantly fight against me.

わが仇ひねもす急喘てわれをのまんとす誇りたかぶりて我とたたかふものおほし

3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

われおそるるときは汝によりたのまん

4 In God, whose word I praise— in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid; what can mere man do to me?

われ神によりてその聖言をほめまつらん われ神に依賴みたればおそるることあらじ肉體われになにをなし得んや

5 All the day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

かれらは終日わがことばを曲るなり その思念はことごとくわれにわざはひをなす

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, and they mark my steps, just as they have waited for my life.

かれらは群つどひて身をひそめ わが歩に目をとめてわが霊魂をうかがひもとむ

7 Do not let them escape doing iniquity. Bring down the peoples in your anger, God.

かれらは不義をもてのがれんとおもへり 神よねがはくは憤ほりてもろもろの民をたふしたまへ

8 You number my wanderings and put my tears into your bottle; are they not in your book?

汝わがあまた土の流離をかぞへたまへり なんぢの革嚢にわが涙をたくはへたまへ こは皆なんぢの冊にしるしあるにあらずや

9 Then my enemies will turn back on the day that I call to you; this I know, that God is for me.

わがよびもとむる日にはわが仇しりぞかん われ神のわれを守りたまふことを知る

10 In God—whose word I praise, in Yahweh—whose word I praise,

われ神によりてその聖言をはめまつらん 我ヱホバによりてそのみことばを讃まつらん

11 in God I trust, I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?

われ神によりたのみたれば懼るることあらじ 人はわれに何をなしえんや

12 The duty to fulfill my vows to you is on me, God; I will give thank offerings to you.

神よわがなんぢにたてし誓はわれをまとへり われ感謝のささげものを汝にささげん

13 For you have rescued my life from death; you have kept my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

汝わがたましひを死よりすくひたまへばなり なんぢ我をたふさじとわが足をまもり生命の光のうちにて神のまへに我をあゆませ給ひしにあらずや
