book 54
1 (西弗人来对扫罗说,大卫岂不是在我们那里藏身吗?那时大卫作这训诲诗,交与伶长。用丝弦的乐器。)神阿,求你以你的名救我,凭你的大能为我伸冤。
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, "Is not David hiding among us?" Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.
2 神阿,求你听我的祷告,留心听我口中的言语。
Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3 因为外人起来攻击我,强暴人寻索我的命。他们眼中没有神。(细拉)
Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life--men without regard for God. Selah
4 神是帮助我的,是扶持我命的。
Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
5 他要报应我仇敌所行的恶。求你凭你的诚实灭绝他们。
Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.
6 我要把甘心祭献给你。耶和华阿,我要称赞你的名。这名本为美好。
I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7 他从一切的急难中,把我救出来。我的眼睛也看见了我仇敌遭报。
For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
