诗篇 7
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
求耶和华兴起御敌
7 大卫指着便雅悯人古实的话,向耶和华唱的流离歌。
1 耶和华我的神啊,我投靠你,求你救我脱离一切追赶我的人,将我救拔出来,
2 恐怕他们像狮子撕裂我,甚至撕碎,无人搭救。
3 耶和华我的神啊,我若行了这事,若有罪孽在我手里,
4 我若以恶报那与我交好的人(连那无故与我为敌的,我也救了他),
5 就任凭仇敌追赶我,直到追上,将我的性命踏在地下,使我的荣耀归于灰尘!(细拉)
6 耶和华啊,求你在怒中起来,挺身而立,抵挡我敌人的暴怒;求你为我兴起,你已经命定施行审判。
7 愿众民的会环绕你,愿你从其上归于高位。
8 耶和华向众民施行审判。耶和华啊,求你按我的公义和我心中的纯正判断我。
9 愿恶人的恶断绝,愿你坚立义人,因为公义的神察验人的心肠肺腑。
10 神是我的盾牌,他拯救心里正直的人。
11 神是公义的审判者,又是天天向恶人发怒的神。
12 若有人不回头,他的刀必磨快,弓必上弦,预备妥当了。
13 他也预备了杀人的器械,他所射的是火箭。
14 试看恶人因奸恶而劬劳,所怀的是毒害,所生的是虚假。
15 他掘了坑,又挖深了,竟掉在自己所挖的阱里。
16 他的毒害必临到他自己的头上,他的强暴必落到他自己的脑袋上。
17 我要照着耶和华的公义称谢他,歌颂耶和华至高者的名。
Psalm 7
New International Version
Psalm 7[a]
A shiggaion[b](A) of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjamite.
1 Lord my God, I take refuge(B) in you;
save and deliver me(C) from all who pursue me,(D)
2 or they will tear me apart like a lion(E)
and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue(F) me.
3 Lord my God, if I have done this
and there is guilt on my hands(G)—
4 if I have repaid my ally with evil
or without cause(H) have robbed my foe—
5 then let my enemy pursue and overtake(I) me;
let him trample my life to the ground(J)
and make me sleep in the dust.[c](K)
6 Arise,(L) Lord, in your anger;
rise up against the rage of my enemies.(M)
Awake,(N) my God; decree justice.
7 Let the assembled peoples gather around you,
while you sit enthroned over them on high.(O)
8 Let the Lord judge(P) the peoples.
Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,(Q)
according to my integrity,(R) O Most High.(S)
9 Bring to an end the violence of the wicked
and make the righteous secure—(T)
you, the righteous God(U)
who probes minds and hearts.(V)
10 My shield[d](W) is God Most High,
who saves the upright in heart.(X)
11 God is a righteous judge,(Y)
a God who displays his wrath(Z) every day.
12 If he does not relent,(AA)
he[e] will sharpen his sword;(AB)
he will bend and string his bow.(AC)
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
he makes ready his flaming arrows.(AD)

Psalm 7
Living Bible
7 I am depending on you, O Lord my God, to save me from my persecutors. 2 Don’t let them pounce upon me as a lion would and maul me and drag me away with no one to rescue me. 3 It would be different, Lord, if I were doing evil things— 4 if I were paying back evil for good or unjustly attacking those I dislike. 5 Then it would be right for you to let my enemies destroy me, crush me to the ground, and trample my life in the dust.
6 But Lord! Arise in anger against the anger of my enemies. Awake! Demand justice for me, Lord! 7-8 Gather all peoples before you; sit high above them, judging their sins. But justify me publicly; establish my honor and truth before them all. 9 End all wickedness, O Lord, and bless all who truly worship God;[a] for you, the righteous God, look deep within the hearts of men and examine all their motives and their thoughts.
10 God is my shield; he will defend me. He saves those whose hearts and lives are true and right.[b]
11 God is a judge who is perfectly fair, and he is angry with the wicked every day. 12 Unless they repent, he will sharpen his sword and slay them.
He has bent and strung his bow 13 and fitted it with deadly arrows made from shafts of fire.
14 The wicked man conceives an evil plot, labors with its dark details, and brings to birth his treachery and lies; 15 let him fall into his own trap. 16 May the violence he plans for others boomerang upon himself; let him die.
17 Oh, how grateful and thankful I am to the Lord because he is so good. I will sing praise to the name of the Lord who is above all lords.
