1 Shiggaion of David; a song which he made to the Lord, about the words of Cush the Benjamite.

2 \7:1\O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;

3 \7:2\So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.

4 \7:3\O Lord my God, if I have done this; if my hands have done any wrong;

5 \7:4\If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;

6 \7:5\Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah.)

7 \7:6\Come up, Lord, in your wrath; be lifted up against my haters; be awake, my God, give orders for the judging.

8 \7:7\The meeting of the nations will be round you; take your seat, then, over them, on high.

9 \7:8\The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.

10 \7:9\O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.

11 \7:10\God, who is the saviour of the upright in heart, is my breastplate.

12 \7:11\God is the judge of the upright, and is angry with the evil-doers every day.

13 \7:12\If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.

14 \7:13\He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.

15 \7:14\That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.

16 \7:15\He has made a hole deep in the earth, and is falling into the hole which he has made

17 \7:16\His wrongdoing will come back to him, and his violent behaviour will come down on his head.

18 \7:17\I will give praise to the Lord for his righteousness; I will make a song to the name of the Lord Most High.

1 耶和华我的 神啊！ 我已经投靠了你， 求你拯救我脱离所有追赶我的人。求你搭救我，

2 免得他们像狮子一般把我撕裂， 把我撕碎的时候， 也没有人搭救。

3 耶和华我的 神啊！ 如果我作了这事， 如果我手中有罪孽，

4 如果我以恶回报那与我为友的人， 或是无故掠夺与我为敌的人，

5 就任凭仇敌追赶我， 直到追上， 把我的性命践踏在地上， 使我的光荣归于尘土。（细拉）

6 耶和华啊！ 求你在怒中起来， 求你挺身而起， 抵挡我敌人的暴怒， 求你为我兴起； 你已经出令施行审判。

7 愿万民聚集环绕你， 愿你归回高处， 统管他们。

8 愿耶和华审判万民。耶和华啊！ 求你按着我的公义， 照着我心中的正直判断我。

9 愿恶人的恶行止息， 愿你使义人坚立。公义的 神啊！ 你是察验人心肠肺腑的。

10 神是我的盾牌， 他拯救心里正直的人。

11 神是公义的审判者， 他是天天向恶人发怒的 神。

12 如果人不悔改， 神必把他的刀磨快。 神已经把弓拉开， 准备妥当。

13 他亲自预备了致命的武器， 他使所射的箭成为燃烧的箭。

14 看哪！ 恶人为了罪孽经历产痛， 他怀的是恶毒， 生下的是虚谎。

15 他挖掘坑穴， 挖得深深的， 自己却掉进所挖的陷阱里。

16 他的恶毒必回到自己的头上， 他的强暴必落在自己的头顶上。

17 我要照着耶和华的公义称谢他， 歌颂至高者耶和华的名。
