Psalms 56

1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Dumb Dove far off.' — A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

非利士人在迦特拿住大衛。那時，他作這金詩，交與伶長。調用遠方無聲鴿。 上帝啊，求你憐憫我，因為人要把我吞了， 終日攻擊欺壓我。

2 Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,

我的仇敵終日要把我吞了， 因逞驕傲攻擊我的人甚多。

3 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.

我懼怕的時候要倚靠你。

4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.

我倚靠上帝，我要讚美他的話； 我倚靠上帝，必不懼怕。 血氣之輩能把我怎麼樣呢？

5 All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,

他們終日顛倒我的話； 他們一切的心思都是要害我。

6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

他們聚集，埋伏窺探我的腳蹤， 等候要害我的命。

7 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.

他們豈能因罪孽逃脫嗎？ 上帝啊，求你在怒中使眾民墮落！

8 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou — place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?

我幾次流離，你都記數； 求你把我眼淚裝在你的皮袋裏。 這不都記在你冊子上嗎？

9 Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.

我呼求的日子，我的仇敵都要轉身退後。 上帝幫助我，這是我所知道的。

10 In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.

我倚靠上帝，我要讚美他的話； 我倚靠耶和華，我要讚美他的話。

11 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,

我倚靠上帝，必不懼怕。 人能把我怎麼樣呢？

12 On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.

上帝啊，我向你所許的願在我身上； 我要將感謝祭獻給你。

13 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!

因為你救我的命脫離死亡。 你豈不是救護我的腳不跌倒、 使我在生命光中行在上帝面前嗎？
