| | 1 | 〔大衛指著便雅憫人古實的話、向耶和華唱的流離歌。〕耶和華我的 神阿、我投靠你．求你救我脫離一切追趕我的人、將我救拔出來．
A shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me, | |
| | 2 | 恐怕他們像獅子撕裂我、甚至撕碎、無人搭救。
or they will tear me like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me. | |
| | 3 | 耶和華我的 神阿、我若行了這事、若有罪孽在我手裡、
O LORD my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands-- | |
| | 4 | 我若以惡報那與我交好的人、（連那無故與我為敵的、我也救了他）
if I have done evil to him who is at peace with me or without cause have robbed my foe-- | |
| | 5 | 就任憑仇敵追趕我、直到追上．將我的性命踏在地下、使我的榮耀歸於灰塵。〔細拉〕
then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust. Selah | |
| | 6 | 耶和華阿、求你在怒中起來、挺身而立、抵擋我敵人的暴怒．求你為我興起．你已經命定施行審判。
Arise, O LORD, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice. | |
| | 7 | 願眾民的會環繞你．願你從其上歸於高位。
Let the assembled peoples gather around you. Rule over them from on high; | |
| | 8 | 耶和華向眾民施行審判．耶和華阿、求你按我的公義、和我心中的純正、判斷我。
let the LORD judge the peoples. Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High. | |
| | 9 | 願惡人的惡斷絕．願你堅立義人．因為公義的 神察驗人的心腸肺腑。
O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure. | |
| | 10 | 神是我的盾牌．他拯救心裡正直的人。
My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart. | |
| | 11 | 神是公義的審判者、又是天天向惡人發怒的 神。
God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his wrath every day. | |
| | 12 | 若有人不回頭、他的刀必磨快、弓必上弦、豫備妥當了。
If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow. | |
| | 13 | 他也豫備了殺人的器械．他所射的是火箭。
He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows. | |
| | 14 | 試看惡人因奸惡而劬勞．所懷的是毒害、所生的是虛假。
He who is pregnant with evil and conceives trouble gives birth to disillusionment. | |
| | 15 | 他掘了坑、又挖深了、竟掉在自己所挖的阱裡。
He who digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit he has made. | |
| | 16 | 他的毒害、必臨到他自己的頭上．他的強暴必落到他自己的腦袋上。
The trouble he causes recoils on himself; his violence comes down on his own head. | |
| | 17 | 我要照著耶和華的公義稱謝他、歌頌耶和華至高者的名。
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. | |
