Psalms 56

1 To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Dove of God from the distant Sea." David’s. A precious Psalm. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter oppresseth me:

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。

2 Mine adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.

我的仇敌终日要把我吞了， 因逞骄傲攻击我的人甚多。

3 What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.

我惧怕的时候要倚靠你。

4 In God, I will praise his cause, —In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can flesh do unto me?

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？

5 All the day, they wrest, my words, Against me, all their devices are for mischief;

他们终日颠倒我的话； 他们一切的心思都是要害我。

6 They stir up strife—they lie hid, They, mark my steps, —Seeing they have waited for my life.

他们聚集，埋伏窥探我的脚踪， 等候要害我的命。

7 Because of iniquity, recompense thou them, —In anger, bring thou down, the peoples, O God.

他们岂能因罪孽逃脱吗？ 神啊，求你在怒中使众民堕落！

8 My wandering, hast, thou, recorded, —Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?

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？

9 Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!

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。

10 In God, will I praise with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;

我倚靠 神，我要赞美他的话； 我倚靠耶和华，我要赞美他的话。

11 In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!

我倚靠 神，必不惧怕。 人能把我怎么样呢？

12 Upon me, O God, are thy vows, I will pay back praises unto thee.

神啊，我向你所许的愿在我身上； 我要将感谢祭献给你。

13 For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.

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？
