Psalms 55

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.

1 神啊，求你留心听我的祷告， 不要隐藏不听我的恳求！

2 Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught

2 求你侧耳听我，应允我。 我哀叹不安，发声唉哼，

3 at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they bring down disaster upon me and resent me in their anger.

3 都因仇敌的声音，恶人的欺压； 因为他们将罪孽加在我身上，发怒气逼迫我。

4 My heart pounds within me, and the terrors of death assail me.

4 我心在我里面甚是疼痛； 死的惊惶临到我身。

5 Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.

5 恐惧战兢归到我身； 惊恐漫过了我。

6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.

6 我说：但愿我有翅膀像鸽子， 我就飞去，得享安息。

7 How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah

7 我必远游， 宿在旷野。 （细拉）

8 I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”

8 我必速速逃到避所， 脱离狂风暴雨。

9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.

9 主啊，求你吞灭他们，变乱他们的舌头！ 因为我在城中见了强暴争竞的事。

10 Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.

10 他们在城墙上昼夜绕行； 在城内也有罪孽和奸恶。

11 Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.

11 邪恶在其中； 欺压和诡诈不离街市。

12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.

12 原来不是仇敌辱骂我， 若是仇敌，还可忍耐； 也不是恨我的人向我狂大， 若是恨我的人就必躲避他。

13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.

13 不料是你；你原与我平等， 是我的同伴，是我知己的朋友！

14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.

14 我们素常彼此谈论，以为甘甜； 我们与群众在 神的殿中同行。

15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.

15 愿死亡忽然临到他们！ 愿他们活活地下入阴间！ 因为他们的住处，他们的心中，都是邪恶。

16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.

16 至于我，我要求告 神； 耶和华必拯救我。

17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.

17 我要晚上、早晨、晌午哀声悲叹； 他也必听我的声音。

18 He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.

18 他救赎我命脱离攻击我的人， 使我得享平安， 因为与我相争的人甚多。

19 God will hear and humiliate them—the One enthroned for the ages—Selah because they do not change and they have no fear of God.

19 那没有更变、不敬畏 神的人， 从太古常存的 神必听见而苦待他。

20 My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.

20 他背了约， 伸手攻击与他和好的人。

21 His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.

21 他的口如奶油光滑， 他的心却怀着争战； 他的话比油柔和， 其实是拔出来的刀。

22 Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.

22 你要把你的重担卸给耶和华， 他必抚养你； 他永不叫义人动摇。

23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

23 神啊，你必使恶人下入灭亡的坑； 流人血、行诡诈的人必活不到半世， 但我要倚靠你。
