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 神啊，求你怜悯我，因为人要把我吞了， 终日攻击欺压我。

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

2 我的仇敌终日要把我吞了， 因逞骄傲攻击我的人甚多。

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

3 我惧怕的时候要倚靠你。

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

4 我倚靠 神，我要赞美他的话； 我倚靠 神，必不惧怕。 血气之辈能把我怎么样呢？

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

5 他们终日颠倒我的话； 他们一切的心思都是要害我。

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

6 他们聚集，埋伏窥探我的脚踪， 等候要害我的命。

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

7 他们岂能因罪孽逃脱吗？ 神啊，求你在怒中使众民堕落！

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

8 我几次流离，你都记数； 求你把我眼泪装在你的皮袋里。 这不都记在你册子上吗？

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 我呼求的日子，我的仇敌都要转身退后。 神帮助我，这是我所知道的。

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

10 我倚靠 神，我要赞美他的话； 我倚靠耶和华，我要赞美他的话。

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

11 我倚靠 神，必不惧怕。 人能把我怎么样呢？

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

12 神啊，我向你所许的愿在我身上； 我要将感谢祭献给你。

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 因为你救我的命脱离死亡。 你岂不是救护我的脚不跌倒、 使我在生命光中行在 神面前吗？
