詩篇 59
1 掃羅打發人窺探大衛的房屋，要殺他。那時，大衛作這金詩，交與伶長。調用休要毀壞。 我的上帝啊，求你救我脫離仇敵， 把我安置在高處，得脫那些起來攻擊我的人。
Deliver me from my enemies, O my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2 求你救我脫離作孽的人 和喜愛流人血的人！
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3 因為，他們埋伏要害我的命； 有能力的人聚集來攻擊我。 耶和華啊，這不是為我的過犯， 也不是為我的罪愆。
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
4 我雖然無過，他們預備整齊，跑來攻擊我。 求你興起鑒察，幫助我！
They run and prepare themselves without my fault. Awake thou to help me, and behold.
5 萬軍之上帝－耶和華以色列的上帝啊！ 求你興起，懲治萬邦！ 不要憐憫行詭詐的惡人！ (細拉)
Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations. Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
6 他們晚上轉回， 叫號如狗，圍城繞行。
They return at evening. They howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 他們口中噴吐惡言，嘴裏有刀； 他們說：有誰聽見？
Behold, they belch out with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, for they say, Who hears?
8 但你－耶和華必笑話他們； 你要嗤笑萬邦。
But thou, O Jehovah, will laugh at them. Thou will have all the nations in derision.
9 我的力量啊，我必仰望你， 因為上帝是我的高臺。
O my strength, I will give heed to thee, for God is my high tower.
10 我的上帝要以慈愛迎接我； 上帝要叫我看見我仇敵遭報。
My God with his loving kindness will meet me. God will let me look upon my enemies.
11 不要殺他們，恐怕我的民忘記。 主啊，你是我們的盾牌； 求你用你的能力使他們四散， 且降為卑。
Kill them not, lest my people forget. Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield,
12 因他們口中的罪和嘴裏的言語， 並咒罵虛謊的話， 願他們在驕傲之中被纏住了。
for the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips. Let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13 求你發怒，使他們消滅， 以致歸於無有， 叫他們知道上帝在雅各中間掌權， 直到地極。 (細拉)
Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more. And let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 到了晚上，任憑他們轉回； 任憑他們叫號如狗，圍城繞行。
And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 他們必走來走去，尋找食物， 若不得飽就終夜在外。
They shall wander up and down for food, and tarry all night if they be not satisfied.
16 但我要歌頌你的力量， 早晨要高唱你的慈愛； 因為你作過我的高臺， 在我急難的日子作過我的避難所。
But I will sing of thy strength. Yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving kindness in the morning. For thou have been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 我的力量啊，我要歌頌你； 因為上帝是我的高臺， 是賜恩與我的上帝。
To thee, O my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
