< Psalms 17 >

1 Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me. Hear me while I call out to you to help me. Pay attention to what I say while I pray because I am speaking [MTY] honestly/truthfully.
大卫的祈祷。 耶和华啊,求你听闻公义, 侧耳听我的呼吁! 求你留心听我这不出于诡诈嘴唇的祈祷!
2 You are the one who is able to declare that I (am innocent/have not done anything that was wrong) because you see/know that I am telling the truth.
愿我的判语从你面前发出; 愿你的眼睛观看公正。
3 You know what I think, [even] at night; you have examined what I say and do, and you know that I have determined to never tell any lies.
你已经试验我的心; 你在夜间鉴察我; 你熬炼我,却找不着什么; 我立志叫我口中没有过失。
4 I have not done like others do; I have always done what is right [IDM], and I have not acted cruelly toward others.
论到人的行为,我借着你嘴唇的言语自己谨守, 不行强暴人的道路。
5 I have always done what you told me to do [IDM], I have (never failed to do/always done) [LIT] those things.
我的脚踏定了你的路径; 我的两脚未曾滑跌。
6 O God, I pray to you because you answer me; please listen [MTY] to what I am saying.
神啊,我曾求告你,因为你必应允我; 求你向我侧耳,听我的言语。
7 Show me that you faithfully love me. By your great power [MTY] rescue those who (run to/trust in) you to protect them from their enemies.
求你显出你奇妙的慈爱来; 你是那用右手拯救投靠你的脱离起来攻击他们的人。
8 Protect me as people carefully protect their own eyes; protect me like [birds] protect [their babies] under their wings [MET].
求你保护我,如同保护眼中的瞳人; 将我隐藏在你翅膀的荫下,
9 Do not allow wicked people to attack me; my enemies surround me, wanting to kill me.
使我脱离那欺压我的恶人, 就是围困我要害我命的仇敌。
10 They never pity [IDM] anyone, and they are always boasting.
他们的心被脂油包裹; 他们用口说骄傲的话。
11 They have hunted/searched for me and found me. They surround me, watching for an opportunity to throw me to the ground.
他们围困了我们的脚步; 他们瞪着眼,要把我们推倒在地。
12 They are like lions [SIM] that are ready to tear apart the animals that they capture; they are like young lions that are hiding, waiting to pounce [on their prey].
他像狮子急要抓食, 又像少壮狮子蹲伏在暗处。
13 Yahweh, come and (oppose/fight against) my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!
耶和华啊,求你起来,前去迎敌,将他打倒! 用你的刀救护我命脱离恶人。
14 Yahweh, by your power [MTY] rescue me from those people who are interested [only] in things here in this world. But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly; their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
耶和华啊,求你用手救我脱离世人, 脱离那只在今生有福分的世人! 你把你的财宝充满他们的肚腹; 他们因有儿女就心满意足, 将其余的财物留给他们的婴孩。
15 Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will [some day] see you [SYN]. When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.
至于我,我必在义中见你的面; 我醒了的时候,得见你的形象就心满意足了。
