Psalms 64

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

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 conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

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 who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly 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 to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

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 evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”

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 plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

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 at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

但是，天主必要用箭射擊他們，他們必要突然身受創痕。

8 Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake 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 mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder 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 shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise 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。
