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。
