| 59:1 | 〔扫罗打发人窥探大卫的房屋、要杀他.那时大卫用这金诗、交与伶长、调用休要毁坏。〕我的 神阿、求你救我脱离仇敌、把我安置在高处、得脱那些起来攻击我的人。 | Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. |
| 59:2 | 求你救我脱离作孽的人、和喜爱流人血的人。 | Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. |
| 59:3 | 因为他们埋伏、要害我的命、有能力的人聚集来攻击我.耶和华阿、这不是为我的过犯、也不是为我的罪愆。 | For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. |
| 59:4 | 我虽然无过、他们预备整齐、跑来攻击我.求你兴起鉴察、帮助我。 | They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold. |
| 59:5 | 万军之 神耶和华以色列的 神阿。求你兴起、惩治万邦.不要怜悯行诡诈的恶人。〔细拉〕 | Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. |
| 59:6 | 他们晚上转回、叫号如狗、围城繞行。 | They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. |
| 59:7 | 他们口中喷吐恶言、嘴里有刀、他们说、有谁听见。 | Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? |
| 59:8 | 但你耶和华必笑话他们.你要嗤笑万邦。 | But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. |
| 59:9 | 我的力量阿、我必仰望你.因为 神是我的高台。 | Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence. |
| 59:10 | 我的 神要以慈爱迎接我. 神要叫我看见我仇敌遭报。 | The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. |
| 59:11 | 不要杀他们、恐怕我的民忘记.主阿、你是我们的盾牌.求你用你的能力使他们四散、且降为卑。 | Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. |
| 59:12 | 因他们口中的罪、和嘴里的言语、并咒骂虚谎的话、愿他们在骄傲之中被缠住了。 | 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. |
| 59:13 | 求你发怒、使他们消灭、以至归于无有、叫他们知道 神在雅各中间掌权、直到地极。〔细拉〕 | Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. |
| 59:14 | 到了晚上、任凭他们转回.任凭他们叫号如狗、围城绕行。 | And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. |
| 59:15 | 他们必走来走去、寻找食物.若不得饱、就终夜在外。 | Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. |
| 59:16 | 但我要歌颂你的力量、早晨要高唱你的慈爱.因为你作过我的高台.在我急难的日子、作过我的避难所。 | But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. |
| 59:17 | 我的力量阿、我要歌颂你.因为 神是我的高台、是赐恩与我的 神。 | Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy. |
