| | 1 | 〔大衛的詩、交與伶長。〕 神阿、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。
For the director of music. A psalm of David. Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy. | |
| | 2 | 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 conspiracy of the wicked, from that noisy crowd of evildoers. | |
| | 3 | 他們磨舌如刀、發出苦毒的言語、好像比準了的箭．
They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows. | |
| | 4 | 要在暗地射完全人．他們忽然射他、並不懼怕。
They shoot from ambush at the innocent man; they shoot at him suddenly, without fear. | |
| | 5 | 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 each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, "Who will see them?" | |
| | 6 | 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 plot injustice and say, "We have devised a perfect plan!" Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning. | |
| | 7 | 但 神要射他們．他們忽然被箭射傷。
But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be struck down. | |
| | 8 | 他們必然絆跌、被自己的舌頭所害．凡看見他們的、必都搖頭。
He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn. | |
| | 9 | 眾人都要害怕、要傳揚 神的工作、並且明白他的作為。
All mankind will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done. | |
| | 10 | 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。
Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; let all the upright in heart praise him! | |
