求 神懲罰背信棄義的惡人

大衛的金詩,交給詩班長,調用“休要毀壞”,是在掃羅打發人去窺探大衛的家,要殺死他以後作的。

59 我的 神啊!求你救我脫離我的仇敵,

求你把我安放在高處,脫離那些起來攻擊我的人。

求你救我脫離作孽的人,

救我脫離流人血的人。

看哪!他們埋伏要害我的性命;

強盛的人聚集起來攻擊我;

耶和華啊!這不是因我的過犯,

也不是因我的罪惡。

我雖然沒有過錯,

他們還是跑來,預備好攻擊我。

求你醒來,幫助我,鑒察我。

萬軍的 神耶和華啊!你是以色列的 神,

求你醒來,懲罰萬國;

求你不要恩待那些背信棄義的惡人。(細拉)

他們每晚都回來,

好像狗一樣狂吠,

環繞著城行走。

看哪!他們口中吐出惡言,

他們嘴裡吐出利刀,

他們心裡說:“有誰聽見呢?”

但你耶和華必譏笑他們,

你必嗤笑萬國。

我的力量啊!我要仰望你,

 神啊!因為你是我的高臺。

10 我的 神必以慈愛迎接我;

 神必叫我看見我的仇敵遭報。

11 不要殺害他們,免得我的人民忘記了;

主啊!你是我們的盾牌,

求你用你的能力,使他們飄流無定,

並且降為卑微。

12 因他們口中的罪,

因他們嘴裡所說的話,

願他們在自己的驕傲中被纏住。

因他們所說的是咒罵和欺騙的話,

13 求你在怒中消滅他們,

消滅他們,以致無一倖免,

好使他們知道 神在雅各中間掌權,

直到地極。(細拉)

14 他們每晚都回來,

好像狗一樣狂吠,

環繞著城行走。

15 他們四處飄流,尋找食物;

如果得不到飽足,就不斷咆哮。

16 至於我,我要歌頌你的能力,

每天早晨我要向你的慈愛歡呼,

因為你作了我的高臺,

在患難的日子,作了我的避難所。

17 我的力量啊!我要向你歌唱;

 神啊!你是我的高臺,

是向我施慈愛的 神。

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。
求你救我脱离作恶之徒,
脱离嗜血成性之人。
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。
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。
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)

他们夜晚回来,
嚎叫如狗,在城中游荡。
他们出口伤人,舌如利剑,
还说:“谁听得见?”
但你耶和华必嗤笑他们,
嘲讽列国。
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。

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)

The Assured Judgment of the Wicked

To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David (A)when Saul sent men, and they watched the house in order to kill him.

59 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
[b]Defend me from those who rise up against me.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,
And save me from bloodthirsty men.

For look, they lie in wait for my life;
(B)The mighty gather against me,
Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord.
They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine.

(C)Awake to help me, and behold!
You therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,
Awake to punish all the [c]nations;
Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah

(D)At evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.
Indeed, they belch with their mouth;
(E)Swords are in their lips;
For they say, (F)“Who hears?”

But (G)You, O Lord, shall laugh at them;
You shall have all the [d]nations in derision.
I will wait for You, O You [e]his Strength;
(H)For God is my [f]defense.
10 [g]My God of mercy shall (I)come to meet me;
God shall let (J)me see my desire on my enemies.

11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget;
Scatter them by Your power,
And bring them down,
O Lord our shield.
12 (K)For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,
Let them even be taken in their pride,
And for the cursing and lying which they speak.
13 (L)Consume them in wrath, consume them,
That they may not be;
And (M)let them know that God rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth. Selah

14 And (N)at evening they return,
They growl like a dog,
And go all around the city.
15 They (O)wander up and down for food,
And [h]howl if they are not satisfied.

16 But I will sing of Your power;
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
For You have been my defense
And refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 To You, (P)O my Strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my defense,
My God of mercy.
