Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit.
大衛的祈禱。 耶和華啊，求你聽聞公義， 側耳聽我的呼籲！ 求你留心聽我這不出於詭詐嘴唇的祈禱！
2 From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.
願我的判語從你面前發出； 願你的眼睛觀看公正。
3 Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.
你已經試驗我的心； 你在夜間鑒察我； 你熬煉我，卻找不着甚麼； 我立志叫我口中沒有過失。
4 As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;
論到人的行為，我藉着你嘴唇的言語自己謹守， 不行強暴人的道路。
5 To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.
我的腳踏定了你的路徑； 我的兩腳未曾滑跌。
6 I — I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.
上帝啊，我曾求告你，因為你必應允我； 求你向我側耳，聽我的言語。
7 Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.
求你顯出你奇妙的慈愛來； 你是那用右手拯救投靠你的脫離起來攻擊他們的人。
8 Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.
求你保護我，如同保護眼中的瞳人； 將我隱藏在你翅膀的蔭下，
9 From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.
使我脫離那欺壓我的惡人， 就是圍困我要害我命的仇敵。
10 Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride:
他們的心被脂油包裹； 他們用口說驕傲的話。
11 'Our steps now have compassed [him];' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.
他們圍困了我們的腳步； 他們瞪着眼，要把我們推倒在地。
12 His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places.
他像獅子急要抓食， 又像少壯獅子蹲伏在暗處。
13 Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,
耶和華啊，求你起來，前去迎敵，將他打倒！ 用你的刀救護我命脫離惡人。
14 From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion [is] in life, And [with] Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied [with] sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.
耶和華啊，求你用手救我脫離世人， 脫離那只在今生有福分的世人！ 你把你的財寶充滿他們的肚腹； 他們因有兒女就心滿意足， 將其餘的財物留給他們的嬰孩。
15 I — in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Thy form!
至於我，我必在義中見你的面； 我醒了的時候，得見你的形像就心滿意足了。
