1 [To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.] Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; secure me on high from them that rise up against me.2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.3 For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.4 They run and prepare themselves without {my} fault: awake to meet me, and behold.5 Yea, do thou, Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. Selah.6 They return in the evening; they howl like a dog, and go round about the city:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: for who {say they} doth hear?8 But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.9 Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; for God is my high fortress.10 God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, -God shall let me see {my desire} upon mine enemies.11 Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.12 {Because of} the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak.13 Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah.14 And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city.15 They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied.16 But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.17 Unto thee, my strength, will I sing psalms; for God is my high fortress, 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。
