Psalms 59

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.

1 我的上帝啊， 求你救我脱离仇敌， 保护我免遭敌人的攻击。

2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.

2 求你救我脱离作恶之徒， 救我脱离嗜血成性之人。

3 See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.

3 看啊，他们埋伏害我。 耶和华啊，我并未犯罪作恶， 凶残的人却攻击我。

4 For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.

4 我没有过错， 他们却准备攻击我。 求你起来帮助我， 顾念我的困境。

5 O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah

5 万军之耶和华，以色列的上帝啊， 求你起来惩罚列国， 不要怜悯奸诈的恶人。（细拉）

6 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.

6 他们夜晚回来， 嚎叫如狗，在城中游荡。

7 See what they spew from their mouths—sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”

7 他们出口伤人，舌如利剑， 还说：“谁听得见？”

8 But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.

8 但你耶和华必嗤笑他们， 嘲讽列国。

9 I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.

9 上帝啊， 你是我的力量，我的堡垒， 我仰望你。

10 My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.

10 我的上帝以慈爱待我， 祂会帮助我， 让我欣然看见仇敌遭报。

11 Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

11 保护我们的主啊， 求你不要杀掉他们， 免得我的百姓忘记教训。 求你用你的能力驱散他们， 使他们沦为卑贱。

12 By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.

12 他们的嘴巴充满罪恶， 口中尽是咒诅和谎言， 愿他们陷在狂傲中不能自拔。

13 Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah

13 求你发烈怒毁灭他们， 彻底铲除他们， 使普天下都知道上帝在雅各家掌权。（细拉）

14 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.

14 他们夜晚回来， 嚎叫如狗，在城中游荡，

15 They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.

15 四处觅食， 吃不饱就狂吠不止。

16 But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

16 但我要歌颂你的能力， 在清晨颂扬你的慈爱， 因为你是我的堡垒， 是我患难时的避难所。

17 To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.

17 上帝啊，你是我的力量， 我要颂赞你， 你是我的堡垒， 是以慈爱待我的上帝。
