Psalms 64

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint; preserve my life from fear of my enemies.

達味詩歌，交與樂官。 天主，求您傾聽我哀訴的聲音，從仇敵的恐嚇中保全我生命。

2 Hide me from the secret plotting of evildoers, from the commotion of the doers of iniquity.

求您掩護我遠離惡人的陰險，使我脫免作奸犯科者的暴亂；

3 They have sharpened their tongues like swords; they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,

他們磨礪自己的舌頭有如刀劍，他們吐出有毒的語言有如弓箭：

4 so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent; suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.

暗地裏向無辜的人擊撾，肆無忌憚，突然將他刺殺。

5 They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they consult privately together in order to set traps; they say, “Who will see us?”

他們彼此激勵行惡，互相商議暗佈羅網；說：看見我們的究竟是誰？

6 They invent sinful plans; “We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.” The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.

誰能查出我們的邪思﹖我們已作成精密陰謀，走近的人必墜入深溝。

7 But God will shoot them; suddenly they will be wounded with his arrows.

但是，天主必要用箭射擊他們，他們必要突然身受創痕。

8 They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them; all who see them will wag their heads.

他們的舌頭必使自己跌仆，凡見到他們的人都必搖頭。

9 All people will fear and will declare God's deeds. They will wisely think about what he has done.

眾人要恐懼，要傳述天主的作為，他們也都要細心默思他的事跡。

10 The righteous will be glad about Yahweh and will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will take pride in him.

義人必要喜樂於上主，向他投靠，心地正直的人，必要因此而歡躍。
