1 To the chief music-maker; put to At-tashheth. Michtam. Of David. When Saul sent, and they were watching the house, to put him to death.

2 \59:1\Take me out of the hands of the cruel ones, O my God; keep me safe from those who come up against me.

3 \59:2\Take me out of the power of the workers of evil, and keep me safe from the men of blood.

4 \59:3\For see, they are watching in secret for my soul; the strong have come together against me? but not because of my sin, or my evil-doing, O Lord.

5 \59:4\For no sin of mine they go quickly and get themselves ready; be awake and come to my help, and see.

6 \59:5\You, O Lord God of armies, are the God of Israel; come now and give punishment to the nations; have no mercy on any workers of deceit. (Selah.)

7 \59:6\They come back in the evening; they make a noise like a dog, and go round the town.

8 \59:7\See, hate is dropping from their lips; curses are on their tongues: they say, Who gives attention to it?

9 \59:8\But you are laughing at them, O Lord; you will make sport of all the nations.

10 \59:9\O my strength, I will put my hope in you; because God is my strong tower.

11 \59:10\The God of my mercy will go before me: God will let me see my desire effected on my haters.

12 \59:11\Put them not to death, for so my people will keep the memory of them: let them be sent in all directions by your power; make them low, O Lord our saviour.

13 \59:12\Because of the sin of their mouths and the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and for their curses and their deceit,

14 \59:13\Put an end to them in your wrath, put an end to them, so that they may not be seen again; let them see that God is ruling in Jacob and to the ends of the earth. (Selah.)

15 \59:14\And in the evening let them come back, and make a noise like a dog, and go round the town.

16 \59:15\Let them go wandering up and down in search of food, and be there all night if they have not enough.

17 \59:16\But I will make songs of your power; yes, I will give cries of joy for your mercy in the morning; because you have been my strength and my high tower in the day of my trouble.

18 \59:17\To you, O my strength, will I make my song: because God is my high tower, even the God of my mercy.

1 我的 神啊！ 求你救我脱离我的仇敌， 求你把我安放在高处， 脱离那些起来攻击我的人。

2 求你救我脱离作孽的人， 救我脱离流人血的人。

3 看哪！ 他们埋伏要害我的性命； 强盛的人聚集起来攻击我； 耶和华啊！ 这不是因我的过犯， 也不是因我的罪恶。

4 我虽然没有过错， 他们还是跑来， 预备好攻击我。求你醒来， 帮助我， 鉴察我。

5 万军的 神耶和华啊！ 你是以色列的 神， 求你醒来， 惩罚万国； 求你不要恩待那些背信弃义的恶人。（细拉）

6 他们每晚都回来， 好像狗一样狂吠， 环绕着城行走。

7 看哪！ 他们口中吐出恶言， 他们嘴里吐出利刀， 他们心里说： "有谁听见呢？"

8 但你耶和华必讥笑他们， 你必嗤笑万国。

9 我的力量啊！ 我要仰望你， 神啊！ 因为你是我的高台。

10 我的 神必以慈爱迎接我； 神必叫我看见我的仇敌遭报。

11 不要杀害他们， 免得我的人民忘记了； 主啊！ 你是我们的盾牌， 求你用你的能力， 使他们飘流无定， 并且降为卑微。

12 因他们口中的罪， 因他们嘴里所说的话， 愿他们在自己的骄傲中被缠住。因他们所说的是咒骂和欺骗的话，

13 求你在怒中消灭他们， 消灭他们， 以致无一幸免， 好使他们知道 神在雅各中间掌权， 直到地极。（细拉）

14 他们每晚都回来， 好像狗一样狂吠， 环绕着城行走。

15 他们四处飘流， 寻找食物； 如果得不到饱足， 就不断咆哮。

16 至于我， 我要歌颂你的能力， 每天早晨我要向你的慈爱欢呼， 因为你作了我的高台， 在患难的日子， 作了我的避难所。

17 我的力量啊！ 我要向你歌唱； 神啊！ 你是我的高台， 是向我施慈爱的 神。
