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

2 愿我的判语从你面前发出； 愿你的眼睛观看公正。

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

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

5 我的脚踏定了你的路径； 我的两脚未曾滑跌。

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

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

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

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

9 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 have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.

10 他们的心被脂油包裹； 他们用口说骄傲的话。

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

11 他们围困了我们的脚步； 他们瞪着眼，要把我们推倒在地。

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

12 他像狮子急要抓食， 又像少壮狮子蹲伏在暗处。

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，前去迎敌，将他打倒！ 用你的刀救护我命脱离恶人。

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

15 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。
