Psalms

（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）神啊，我哀歎的時候，求你聽我的聲音！求你保護我的性命，不受仇敵的驚恐！

[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

求你把我隱藏，使我脫離作惡之人的暗謀和作孽之人的擾亂。

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

他們磨舌如刀，發出苦毒的言語，好像比準了的箭，

Who whet their tongue like a sword, {and} bend {their bows to shoot} their arrows, {even} bitter words:

要在暗地射完全人；他們忽然射他，並不懼怕。

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

他們彼此勉勵設下惡計；他們商量暗設網羅，說：誰能看見？

They encourage themselves {in} an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? {matter: or, speech} {of...: Heb. to hide his snares}

他們圖謀奸惡，說：我們是極力圖謀的。他們各人的意念心思是深的。

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward {thought} of every one {of them}, and the heart, {is} deep. {they...: or, we are consumed by that which they have throughly searched} {a diligent...: Heb. a search searched}

但神要射他們；他們忽然被箭射傷。

But God shall shoot at them {with} an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. {shall they...: Heb. their wound shall be}

他們必然絆跌，被自己的舌頭所害；凡看見他們的必都搖頭。

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

眾人都要害怕，要傳揚神的工作，並且明白他的作為。

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

義人必因耶和華歡喜，並要投靠他；凡心裡正直的人都要誇口。

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
