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.
大衛的祈禱。 耶和華啊，求你聽聞公義， 側耳聽我的呼籲！ 求你留心聽我這不出於詭詐嘴唇的祈禱！
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.
願我的判語從你面前發出； 願你的眼睛觀看公正。
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.
你已經試驗我的心； 你在夜間鑒察我； 你熬煉我，卻找不着甚麼； 我立志叫我口中沒有過失。
4 I have not done like others do; I have always done what is right [IDM], and I have not acted cruelly toward others.
論到人的行為，我藉着你嘴唇的言語自己謹守， 不行強暴人的道路。
5 I have always done what you told me to do [IDM], I have (never failed to do/always done) [LIT] those things.
我的腳踏定了你的路徑； 我的兩腳未曾滑跌。
6 O God, I pray to you because you answer me; please listen [MTY] to what I am saying.
上帝啊，我曾求告你，因為你必應允我； 求你向我側耳，聽我的言語。
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.
求你顯出你奇妙的慈愛來； 你是那用右手拯救投靠你的脫離起來攻擊他們的人。
8 Protect me as people carefully protect their own eyes; protect me like [birds] protect [their babies] under their wings [MET].
求你保護我，如同保護眼中的瞳人； 將我隱藏在你翅膀的蔭下，
9 Do not allow wicked people to attack me; my enemies surround me, wanting to kill me.
使我脫離那欺壓我的惡人， 就是圍困我要害我命的仇敵。
10 They never pity [IDM] anyone, and they are always boasting.
他們的心被脂油包裹； 他們用口說驕傲的話。
11 They have hunted/searched for me and found me. They surround me, watching for an opportunity to throw me to the ground.
他們圍困了我們的腳步； 他們瞪着眼，要把我們推倒在地。
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].
他像獅子急要抓食， 又像少壯獅子蹲伏在暗處。
13 Yahweh, come and (oppose/fight against) my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!
耶和華啊，求你起來，前去迎敵，將他打倒！ 用你的刀救護我命脫離惡人。
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.
耶和華啊，求你用手救我脫離世人， 脫離那只在今生有福分的世人！ 你把你的財寶充滿他們的肚腹； 他們因有兒女就心滿意足， 將其餘的財物留給他們的嬰孩。
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.
至於我，我必在義中見你的面； 我醒了的時候，得見你的形像就心滿意足了。
