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。

Deliver Me from My Enemies

To the choirmaster: according to (A)Do Not Destroy. A (B)Miktam[a] of David, (C)when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him.

59 (D)Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
    (E)protect me from those who (F)rise up against me;
deliver me from (G)those who work evil,
    and save me from (H)bloodthirsty men.

For behold, they (I)lie in wait for my life;
    fierce men (J)stir up strife against me.
(K)For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord,
    for no fault of mine, they run and make ready.
(L)Awake, come to meet me, and see!
    You, (M)Lord God of hosts, are God of Israel.
Rouse yourself to punish all the nations;
    spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah

Each evening they (N)come back,
    howling like dogs
    and prowling about the city.
There they are, (O)bellowing with their mouths
    with (P)swords in their lips—
    for (Q)“Who,” they think,[b] “will hear us?”

But you, O Lord, (R)laugh at them;
    you hold all the nations in derision.
O my Strength, I will watch for you,
    for you, O God, are (S)my fortress.
10 (T)My God in his steadfast love[c] (U)will meet me;
    God will let me (V)look in triumph on my enemies.

11 Kill them not, lest my people forget;
    make them totter[d] by your power and (W)bring them down,
    O Lord, our (X)shield!
12 For (Y)the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips,
    let them be trapped in their pride.
For the cursing and lies that they utter,
13     (Z)consume them in wrath;
    consume them till they are no more,
that they may (AA)know that God rules over Jacob
    to (AB)the ends of the earth. Selah

14 (AC)Each evening they come back,
    howling like dogs
    and prowling about the city.
15 They (AD)wander about for food
    and growl if they do not get their fill.

16 But I will sing of your strength;
    I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me (AE)a fortress
    and (AF)a refuge in (AG)the day of my distress.
17 O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
    for you, O God, (AH)are my fortress,
    (AI)the God who shows me steadfast love.

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,

    and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food(AD)
    and howl if not satisfied.

    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)
