Psalms 56

1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily 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 My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O thou most High.

我的仇敌终日要把我吞了， 因逞骄傲攻击我的人甚多。

3 When I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

我惧怕的时候要倚靠你。

4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to 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 Every day they pervert my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

他们终日颠倒我的话； 他们一切的心思都是要害我。

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

他们聚集，埋伏窥探我的脚踪， 等候要害我的命。

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thy anger cast down the people, 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 Thou numberest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

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 When I cry to thee, then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

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 his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.

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 put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me.

我倚靠 神，必不惧怕。 人能把我怎么样呢？

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises to 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 delivered my soul from death: wilt thou not deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

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？
