1 (大卫的祈祷。)耶和华阿,求你听闻公义,侧耳听我的呼吁。求你留心听我这不出于诡诈嘴唇的祈祷。 A prayer of David. Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer--it does not rise from deceitful lips. |
2 愿我的判语从你面前发出。愿你的眼睛观看公正。 May my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right. |
3 你已经试验我的心。你在夜间鉴察我。你熬炼我,却找不着什么。我立志叫我口中没有过失。 Though you probe my heart and examine me at night, though you test me, you will find nothing; I have resolved that my mouth will not sin. |
4 论到人的行为,我借着你嘴唇的言语,自己谨守,不行强暴人的道路。 As for the deeds of men--by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent. |
5 我的脚踏定了你的路径,我的两脚未曾滑跌。 My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not slipped. |
6 神阿,我曾求告你,因为你必应允我。求你向我侧耳,听我的言语。 I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. |
7 求你显出你奇妙的慈爱来。你是那用右手拯救投靠你的,脱离起来攻击他们的人。 Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes. |
8 求你保护我,如同保护眼中的瞳人。将我隐藏在你翅膀的荫下, Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings |
9 使我脱离那欺压我的恶人,就是围困我,要害我命的仇敌。 from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me. |
10 他们的心被脂油包裹。他们用口说骄傲的话。 They close up their callous hearts, and their mouths speak with arrogance. |
11 他们围困了我们的脚步。他们瞪着眼,要把我们推倒在地。 They have tracked me down, they now surround me, with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground. |
12 他像狮子急要抓食,又像少壮狮子蹲伏在暗处。 They are like a lion hungry for prey, like a great lion crouching in cover. |
13 耶和华阿,求你起来,前去迎敌,将他打倒。用你的刀救护我命脱离恶人。 Rise up, O LORD, confront them, bring them down; rescue me from the wicked by your sword. |
14 耶和华阿,求你用手救我脱离世人,脱离那只在今生有福分的世人。你把你的财宝充满他们的肚腹。他们因有儿女就心满意足,将其余的财物留给他们的婴孩。 O LORD, by your hand save me from such men, from men of this world whose reward is in this life. You still the hunger of those you cherish; their sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children. |
15 至于我,我必在义中见你的面。我醒了的时候,得见你的形像(见或作看),就心满意足了。 And I--in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness. |
