Psalms

（大衛的祈禱。）耶和華啊，求你聽聞公義，側耳聽我的呼籲！求你留心聽我這不出於詭詐嘴唇的祈禱！

[A Prayer of David.] Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, {that goeth} not out of feigned lips. {the right: Heb. justice} {not...: Heb. without lips of deceit}

願我的判語從你面前發出；願你的眼睛觀看公正。

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

你已經試驗我的心；你在夜間鑒察我；你熬煉我，卻找不著甚麼；我立志叫我口中沒有過失。

Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited {me} in the night; thou hast tried me, {and} shalt find nothing; I am purposed {that} my mouth shall not transgress.

論到人的行為，我藉著你嘴唇的言語自己謹守，不行強暴人的道路。

Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept {me from} the paths of the destroyer.

我的腳踏定了你的路徑；我的兩腳未曾滑跌。

Hold up my goings in thy paths, {that} my footsteps slip not. {slip...: Heb. be not moved}

神啊，我曾求告你，因為你必應允我；求你向我側耳，聽我的言語。

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, {and hear} my speech.

求你顯出你奇妙的慈愛來；你是那用右手拯救投靠你的脫離起來攻擊他們的人。

Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust {in thee} from those that rise up {against them}. {by thy...: or, them which trust in thee from those that rise up against thy right hand}

求你保護我，如同保護眼中的瞳人；將我隱藏在你翅膀的蔭下，

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

使我脫離那欺壓我的惡人，就是圍困我要害我命的仇敵。

From the wicked that oppress me, {from} my deadly enemies, {who} compass me about. {oppress: Heb. waste} {my...: Heb. my enemies against the soul}

他們的心被脂油包裹；他們用口說驕傲的話。

They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

他們圍困了我們的腳步；他們瞪著眼，要把我們推倒在地。

They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

他像獅子急要抓食，又像少壯獅子蹲伏在暗處。

Like as a lion {that} is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. {Like...: Heb. The likeness of him (that is, of every one of them) is as a lion that desireth to ravin} {lurking: Heb. sitting}

耶和華啊，求你起來，前去迎敵，將他打倒！用你的刀救護我命脫離惡人。

Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, {which is} thy sword: {disappoint...: Heb. prevent his face} {which is: or, by}

耶和華啊，求你用手救我脫離世人，脫離那只在今生有福分的世人！你把你的財寶充滿他們的肚腹；他們因有兒女就心滿意足，將其餘的財物留給他們的嬰孩。

From men {which are} thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, {which have} their portion in {this} life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid {treasure}: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their {substance} to their babes. {which are: or, by} {they...: or, their children are full}

至於我，我必在義中見你的面；我醒了的時候，得見（或譯：著）你的形像就心滿意足了。

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
