1 Deliver me from my enemies, my God.

Set me on high from those who rise up against me.

2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity.

Save me from the bloodthirsty men.

3 For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul.

The mighty gather themselves together against me,

not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.

4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.

Rise up, behold, and help me!

5 You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel,

rouse yourself to punish the nations.

Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.

6 They return at evening, howling like dogs,

and prowl around the city.

7 Behold, they spew with their mouth.

Swords are in their lips,

"For", they say, "who hears us?"

8 But you, Yahweh, laugh at them.

You scoff at all the nations.

9 Oh, my Strength, I watch for you,

for God is my high tower.

10 My God will go before me with his loving kindness.

God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.

11 Don’t kill them, or my people may forget.

Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.

12 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips,

let them be caught in their pride,

for the curses and lies which they utter.

13 Consume them in wrath.

Consume them, and they will be no more.

Let them know that God rules in Jacob,

to the ends of the earth. Selah.

14 At evening let them return.

Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.

15 They shall wander up and down for food,

and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.

16 But I will sing of your strength.

Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning.

For you have been my high tower,

a refuge in the day of my distress.

17 To you, my strength, I will sing praises.

For God is my high tower, 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。
