Psalms 17

1 A prayer of David. Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer—it comes from lips free of deceit.

1 耶和华啊， 求你听我祈求公义的声音， 侧耳听我的呼求， 垂听我真诚的祷告。

2 May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.

2 愿你宣判我无罪， 愿你明察是非。

3 You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.

3 你试验过我的心思， 夜间鉴察过我，磨炼过我， 找不出任何过犯； 我立志口不犯罪。

4 As for the deeds of men—by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.

4 我遵守你的教导，洁身自守， 不与残暴之徒同流。

5 My steps have held to Your paths; my feet have not slipped.

5 我坚定地走你的道路， 脚步从未偏离。

6 I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words.

6 上帝啊！我向你求告， 因为你必应允我。 求你侧耳听我的祷告。

7 Show the wonders of Your loving devotion, You who save by Your right hand those who seek refuge from their foes.

7 求你彰显你奇妙的慈爱， 用右手拯救投靠你的人脱离仇敌。

8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings

8 求你保护我，像保护眼中的瞳仁， 用你的翅膀荫庇我，

9 from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.

9 救我脱离恶人的攻击， 脱离四围杀气腾腾的仇敌。

10 They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.

10 他们良心丧尽，口出狂言。

11 They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,

11 他们穷追围堵， 伺机把我打倒在地。

12 like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.

12 他们像急于撕碎猎物的饿狮， 又像蹲伏在暗处的猛狮。

13 Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,

13 耶和华啊， 求你起来迎头击倒他们， 求你持刀救我脱离恶人。

14 from such men, O LORD, by Your hand—from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.

14 耶和华啊， 求你伸手救我脱离这些人， 脱离这些只在今生有福分的世人。 你使他们财宝无数。 他们儿女众多， 还把财富留给子孙。

15 As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.

15 但我必因公义而得见你的面； 我醒来见到你的真容就心满意足了。
