诗篇 56

1 非利士人在迦特拿住大卫。那时，他作这金诗，交与伶长。调用远方无声鸽。 神啊，求你怜悯我，因为人要把我吞了， 终日攻击欺压我。

[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Silent Dove in Distant Lands." A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.] Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

2 我的仇敌终日要把我吞了， 因逞骄傲攻击我的人甚多。

My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

3 我惧怕的时候要倚靠你。

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

4 我倚靠 神，我要赞美他的话； 我倚靠 神，必不惧怕。 血气之辈能把我怎么样呢？

In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

5 他们终日颠倒我的话； 他们一切的心思都是要害我。

All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 他们聚集，埋伏窥探我的脚踪， 等候要害我的命。

They conspire and lurk, watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.

7 他们岂能因罪孽逃脱吗？ 神啊，求你在怒中使众民堕落！

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

8 我几次流离，你都记数； 求你把我眼泪装在你的皮袋里。 这不都记在你册子上吗？

You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?

9 我呼求的日子，我的仇敌都要转身退后。 神帮助我，这是我所知道的。

Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this, that God is for me.

10 我倚靠 神，我要赞美他的话； 我倚靠耶和华，我要赞美他的话。

In God, I will praise his word. In Jehovah, I will praise his word.

11 我倚靠 神，必不惧怕。 人能把我怎么样呢？

I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 神啊，我向你所许的愿在我身上； 我要将感谢祭献给你。

Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

13 因为你救我的命脱离死亡。 你岂不是救护我的脚不跌倒、 使我在生命光中行在 神面前吗？

For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
