诗篇 59
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
祈求上帝佑护
大卫作的诗，交给乐长，调用“休要毁坏”。当时扫罗派人去监视大卫的家，要杀害大卫。
59 我的上帝啊，
求你救我脱离仇敌，
保护我免遭其害。
2 求你救我脱离作恶之徒，
脱离嗜血成性之人。
3 看啊，他们要暗害我。
耶和华啊，我并未犯罪作恶，
凶残的人却攻击我。
4 我没有过错，
他们却准备攻击我。
求你起来帮助我，
顾念我的困境。
5 万军之耶和华，以色列的上帝啊，
求你起来惩罚列国，
不要姑息奸诈的恶人。（细拉）
6 他们夜晚回来，
嚎叫如狗，在城中游荡。
7 他们出口伤人，舌如利剑，
还说：“谁听得见？”
8 但你耶和华必嗤笑他们，
嘲讽列国。
9 上帝啊，
你是我的力量，我的堡垒，
我仰望你。
10 我的上帝爱我，
祂会帮助我，
让我欣然看见仇敌遭报。
11 保护我们的主啊，
求你不要杀掉他们，
免得我的百姓忘记教训。
求你用你的能力驱散他们，
使他们沦为卑贱。
12 他们的嘴巴充满罪恶，
口中尽是咒诅和谎言，
愿他们陷在狂傲中不能自拔。
13 求你发烈怒毁灭他们，
彻底铲除他们，
使普天下都知道上帝在雅各家掌权。（细拉）
14 他们夜晚回来，
嚎叫如狗，在城中游荡，
15 四处觅食，
吃不饱就狂吠不止。
16 但我要歌颂你的能力，
在清晨颂扬你的慈爱，
因为你是我的堡垒，
是我患难时的避难所。
17 上帝啊，你是我的力量，
我要颂赞你，
你是我的堡垒，
是爱我的上帝。
诗篇 59
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
求 神惩罚背信弃义的恶人
大卫的金诗，交给诗班长，调用“休要毁坏”，是在扫罗打发人去窥探大卫的家，要杀死他以后作的。
59 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，
好象狗一样狂吠，
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，
好象狗一样狂吠，
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。
Psaumes 59
La Bible du Semeur
Mon Dieu, délivre-moi !
59 Au chef de chœur. Sur la mélodie de « Ne détruis pas ! ». Cantique[a] composé par David, lorsque Saül envoya cerner sa maison pour le faire mourir[b].
2 O mon Dieu ! délivre-moi ╵de mes ennemis !
Mets-moi à l’abri sur les hauteurs ╵hors de portée de mes agresseurs.
3 Délivre-moi de ces gens ╵aux agissements iniques,
et viens me sauver ╵de ces hommes sanguinaires !
4 Car les voici qui me guettent,
des hommes cruels ╵contre moi complotent
sans que j’aie commis de faute, ╵sans que j’aie péché, ╵Eternel.
5 Sans que j’aie fait aucun mal, ╵voici qu’ils accourent, ╵et qu’ils se préparent.
Réveille-toi, viens à moi ╵et regarde !
6 Eternel, ╵ô Dieu des armées célestes, ╵toi, Dieu d’Israël,
interviens ╵pour punir tous ces païens !
N’aie pas de pitié ╵pour ces traîtres malfaisants.
Pause
7 Le soir, ils reviennent, ╵en grondant comme des chiens[c],
rôdant autour de la ville.
8 Ils ont la bave à la bouche,
leurs propos sont des épées.
Ils se disent : ╵« Qui peut nous entendre ? »
9 Mais toi, Eternel, ╵tu ris de ces gens,
tu te moques ╵de tous ces païens.
10 Toi qui es ma force, ╵c’est vers toi que je regarde.
Oui, Dieu est ma forteresse.
11 Dieu qui m’aime ╵viendra au-devant de moi[d],
Dieu m’offrira en spectacle ╵tous mes ennemis.
12 Ne les extermine pas[e], ╵de peur que mon peuple oublie,
mais, par ta puissance, ╵secoue-les, renverse-les,
toi qui es Seigneur, ╵notre bouclier.
13 Toutes leurs paroles ╵ne sont que péché.
Qu’ils soient pris au piège ╵de leur propre orgueil,
pour tous leurs mensonges ╵et pour leurs malédictions !
14 Détruis-les dans ta colère, ╵détruis-les, qu’ils ne soient plus !
Alors on saura ╵que Dieu règne sur Jacob,
jusqu’aux confins de la terre !
Pause
15 Le soir, ils reviennent, ╵en grondant comme des chiens,
rôdant autour de la ville ;
16 çà et là, ils errent ╵en quête de proie.
S’ils ne sont pas rassasiés, ╵ils y passeront la nuit.
17 Moi, je chanterai ta force
et, dès le matin, ╵j’acclamerai ton amour,
car tu es pour moi ╵une forteresse,
tu es mon refuge ╵quand je suis dans la détresse !
18 Je veux donc te célébrer ╵par mes chants, ╵toi qui es ma force.
Oui, Dieu est ma forteresse : ╵c’est un Dieu qui m’aime.

Psalm 59
New English Translation
Psalm 59[a]
For the music director, according to the al-tashcheth style;[b] a prayer[c] of David, written when Saul sent men to surround his house and murder him.[d]
59 Deliver me from my enemies, my God.
Protect me[e] from those who attack me.[f]
2 Deliver me from evildoers.[g]
Rescue me from violent men.[h]
3 For look, they wait to ambush me;[i]
powerful men stalk[j] me,
but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O Lord.[k]
4 Though I have done nothing wrong,[l] they are anxious to attack.[m]
Spring into action and help me. Take notice of me.[n]
5 You, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies,[o] the God of Israel,
rouse yourself and punish[p] all the nations.
Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers. (Selah)
6 They return in the evening;
they growl[q] like dogs
and prowl around outside[r] the city.
7 Look, they hurl insults at me
and openly threaten to kill me,[s]
for they say,[t]
“Who hears?”
8 But you, O Lord, laugh in disgust at them;[u]
you taunt[v] all the nations.
9 You are my source of strength. I will wait for you.[w]
For God is my refuge.[x]
10 The God who loves me will help me;[y]
God will enable me to triumph over[z] my enemies.[aa]
11 Do not strike them dead suddenly,
because then my people might forget the lesson.[ab]
Use your power to make them homeless vagabonds and then bring them down,
O Lord who shields us.[ac]
12 They speak sinful words.[ad]
So let them be trapped by their own pride
and by the curses and lies they speak.
13 Angrily wipe them out. Wipe them out so they vanish.
Let them know that God rules
over Jacob and to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 They return in the evening;
they growl[ae] like dogs
and prowl around outside[af] the city.
15 They wander around looking for something to eat;
they refuse to sleep until they are full.[ag]
16 As for me, I will sing about your strength;
I will praise your loyal love in the morning.
For you are my refuge[ah]
and my place of shelter when I face trouble.[ai]
17 You are my source of strength. I will sing praises to you.[aj]
For God is my refuge,[ak] the God who loves me.[al]
Footnotes
- Psalm 59:1 sn Psalm 59. The psalmist calls down judgment on his foreign enemies, whom he compares to ravenous wild dogs.
- Psalm 59:1 tn Heb “do not destroy.” Perhaps this refers to a particular style of music, a tune title, or a musical instrument. These words also appear in the superscription to Pss 57-58, 75.
- Psalm 59:1 tn The precise meaning of the Hebrew word מִכְתָּם (miktam), which also appears in the heading to Pss 16, 56-58, 60 is uncertain. HALOT 582-83 s.v. defines it as “inscription.”
- Psalm 59:1 tn Heb “when Saul sent and they watched his house in order to kill him.”sn According to the superscription, David wrote this psalm on the occasion when Saul sent assassins to surround David’s house and kill him in the morning (see 1 Sam 19:11). However, the psalm itself mentions foreign enemies (vv. 5, 8). Perhaps these references reflect a later adaptation of an original Davidic psalm.
- Psalm 59:1 tn Or “make me secure”; Heb “set me on high.”
- Psalm 59:1 tn Heb “from those who raise themselves up [against] me.”
- Psalm 59:2 tn Heb “from the workers of wickedness.”
- Psalm 59:2 tn Heb “from men of bloodshed.”
- Psalm 59:3 tn Heb “my life.”
- Psalm 59:3 tn The Hebrew verb is from the root גּוּר (gur), which means “to challenge, attack” in Isa 54:15 and “to stalk” (with hostile intent) in Ps 56:8.
- Psalm 59:3 sn The point is that the psalmist’s enemies have no justifiable reason for attacking him. He has neither rebelled or sinned against the Lord.
- Psalm 59:4 tn Heb “without sin.”
- Psalm 59:4 tn Heb “they run and they are determined.”
- Psalm 59:4 tn Heb “arise to meet me and see.” The Hebrew verb קָרָא (qaraʾ, “to meet; to encounter”) here carries the nuance of “to help.”
- Psalm 59:5 tn Heb “Lord, God, Hosts.” One expects the construct form אֱלֹהֵי (ʾelohe) before צְבָאוֹת (tsevaʾot, “hosts”). See Ps 89:9, but יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים (yehvah ʾelohim) precedes צְבָאוֹת (tsevaʾot) in Pss 80:4, 19; 84:8 as well.
- Psalm 59:5 tn Heb “wake up to punish” (see Pss 35:23; 44:23).
- Psalm 59:6 tn Or “howl”; or “bark.”
- Psalm 59:6 tn Heb “go around.”
- Psalm 59:7 tn Heb “look, they gush forth with their mouth, swords [are] in their lips.”
- Psalm 59:7 tn The words “for they say” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The following question (“Who hears?”) is spoken by the psalmist’s enemies, who are confident that no one else can hear their threats against the psalmist. They are aggressive because they feel the psalmist is vulnerable and has no one to help him.
- Psalm 59:8 sn Laugh in disgust. See Pss 2:4; 37:13.
- Psalm 59:8 tn Or “scoff at”; or “deride”; or “mock” (see Ps 2:4).
- Psalm 59:9 tc Heb “his strength, for you I will watch.” “His strength” should be emended to “my strength” (see v. 17). Some also emend אֶשְׁמֹרָה (ʾeshmorah, “I will watch”) to אֱזַמֵּרָה (ʾezammerah, “I will sing praises [to you]”) See v. 17.
- Psalm 59:9 tn Or “my elevated place” (see Ps 18:2).
- Psalm 59:10 tn Heb “the God of my [Qere (marginal reading); the Kethib (consonantal text) has “his”] loyal love will meet me.”
- Psalm 59:10 tn Heb “will cause me to look upon.”
- Psalm 59:10 tn Heb “those who watch me [with evil intent].” See also Pss 5:8; 27:11; 54:5; 56:2.
- Psalm 59:11 tn Heb “do not kill them, lest my people forget.”sn My people might forget the lesson. Swift, sudden destruction might be quickly forgotten. The psalmist wants God’s judgment to be prolonged so that it might be a continual reminder of divine justice.
- Psalm 59:11 tn Heb “make them roam around by your strength and bring them down, O our shield, the Lord.”
- Psalm 59:12 tn Heb “the sin of their mouth [is] the word of their lips.”
