Psalms 56

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.

1 上帝啊，求你怜悯我， 因为仇敌迫害我，整日攻击我。

2 My enemies pursue me all day long, for many proudly assail me.

2 我的仇敌整日迫害我， 许多人狂妄地攻击我。

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.

3 我害怕的时候， 就倚靠你。

4 In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

4 我靠着上帝赞美祂的应许， 我信靠上帝，就不惧怕， 区区世人能把我怎样？

5 All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.

5 他们整天歪曲我的话， 总是图谋害我。

6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.

6 他们勾结起来， 暗中监视我的行踪， 伺机害我。

7 In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.

7 上帝啊， 不要让这些作恶的人逃脱， 求你发烈怒毁灭他们。

8 You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle—are they not in Your book?

8 你记录我的哀伤， 你把我的眼泪收在袋中。 我的遭遇都记录在你的册子上。

9 Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.

9 我向你求救的时候， 敌人都落荒而逃。 我知道上帝是我的帮助。

10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,

10 我靠着上帝赞美祂的应许， 我靠着耶和华赞美祂的应许。

11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

11 我信靠上帝，就不惧怕， 区区世人能把我怎样？

12 Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

12 上帝啊， 我要恪守向你发的誓言， 献上感恩祭。

13 For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

13 因为你救我脱离死亡， 使我没有跌倒， 让我可以活在你面前， 沐浴生命之光。
