求主救援脫離敵害

59 掃羅打發人窺探大衛的房屋,要殺他。那時,大衛作這金詩,交於伶長。調用休要毀壞。

我的神啊,求你救我脫離仇敵,把我安置在高處,得脫那些起來攻擊我的人。
求你救我脫離作孽的人,和喜愛流人血的人。
因為他們埋伏要害我的命,有能力的人聚集來攻擊我。耶和華啊,這不是為我的過犯,也不是為我的罪愆。
我雖然無過,他們預備整齊,跑來攻擊我。求你興起,鑒察、幫助我!
萬軍之神耶和華,以色列的神啊,求你興起,懲治萬邦,不要憐憫行詭詐的惡人。(細拉)
他們晚上轉回,叫號如狗,圍城繞行。
他們口中噴吐惡言,嘴裡有刀,他們說:「有誰聽見?」
但你耶和華必笑話他們,你要嗤笑萬邦。
我的力量啊,我必仰望你,因為神是我的高臺。
10 我的神要以慈愛迎接我,神要叫我看見我仇敵遭報。
11 不要殺他們,恐怕我的民忘記。主啊,你是我們的盾牌,求你用你的能力使他們四散,且降為卑。
12 因他們口中的罪和嘴裡的言語,並咒罵虛謊的話,願他們在驕傲之中被纏住了。
13 求你發怒,使他們消滅,以至歸於無有,叫他們知道神在雅各中間掌權,直到地極。(細拉)
14 到了晚上,任憑他們轉回,任憑他們叫號如狗,圍城繞行。
15 他們必走來走去,尋找食物,若不得飽,就終夜在外。
16 但我要歌頌你的力量,早晨要高唱你的慈愛,因為你做過我的高臺,在我急難的日子做過我的避難所。
17 我的力量啊,我要歌頌你!因為神是我的高臺,是賜恩於我的神。

59 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.

They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

Psalm 59[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b] When Saul had sent men to watch David’s house(A) in order to kill him.

Deliver me from my enemies, O God;(B)
    be my fortress against those who are attacking me.(C)
Deliver me from evildoers(D)
    and save me from those who are after my blood.(E)

See how they lie in wait for me!
    Fierce men conspire(F) against me
    for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.
I have done no wrong,(G) yet they are ready to attack me.(H)
    Arise to help me; look on my plight!(I)
You, Lord God Almighty,
    you who are the God of Israel,(J)
rouse yourself(K) to punish all the nations;(L)
    show no mercy to wicked traitors.[c](M)

They return at evening,
    snarling like dogs,(N)
    and prowl about the city.
See what they spew from their mouths(O)
    the words from their lips are sharp as swords,(P)
    and they think, “Who can hear us?”(Q)
But you laugh at them, Lord;(R)
    you scoff at all those nations.(S)

You are my strength,(T) I watch for you;
    you, God, are my fortress,(U)
10     my God on whom I can rely.

God will go before me
    and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,[d](V)
    or my people will forget.(W)
In your might uproot them
    and bring them down.(X)
12 For the sins of their mouths,(Y)
    for the words of their lips,(Z)
    let them be caught in their pride.(AA)
For the curses and lies they utter,
13     consume them in your wrath,
    consume them till they are no more.(AB)
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
    that God rules over Jacob.(AC)

14 They return at evening,
    snarling like dogs,
    and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food(AD)
    and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will sing(AE) of your strength,(AF)
    in the morning(AG) I will sing of your love;(AH)
for you are my fortress,(AI)
    my refuge in times of trouble.(AJ)

17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
    you, God, are my fortress,
    my God on whom I can rely.(AK)
