詩篇 17
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
無辜者的祈禱
大衛的祈禱。
17 耶和華啊，
求你聽我祈求公義的聲音，
側耳聽我的呼求，
垂聽我真誠的禱告。
2 願你宣判我無罪，
願你明察是非。
3 你試驗過我的心思，
夜間鑒察過我，磨煉過我，
找不出任何過犯；
我立志口不犯罪。
4 我遵守你的教導，潔身自守，
不與殘暴之徒同流。
5 我堅定地走你的道路，
從未偏離。
6 上帝啊！我向你祈禱，
因為你必應允我。
求你垂聽我的禱告。
7 求你彰顯你奇妙的慈愛，
用右手拯救投靠你的人脫離仇敵。
8 求你保護我，像保護眼中的瞳人，
用你的翅膀蔭庇我，
9 救我脫離惡人的攻擊，
脫離四圍殺氣騰騰的仇敵。
10 他們良心喪盡，口出狂言。
11 他們窮追圍堵，
伺機把我打倒在地。
12 他們像急於撕碎獵物的餓獅，
又像蹲伏在暗處的猛獅。
13 耶和華啊，
求你起來迎頭擊倒他們，
求你持刀救我脫離惡人。
14 耶和華啊，
求你伸手救我脫離這些人，
脫離這些只在今生有福分的世人。
你使他們財寶無數。
他們兒女眾多，
還把財富留給子孫。
15 但我因持守公義必見你的面；
我醒來見到你就心滿意足了。
Psalm 17

A Prayer for Protection
A prayer of David.
17 Lord, hear ·me begging for fairness [a just cause];
·listen [pay attention] to my cry for help.
·Pay attention [Bend your ear] to my prayer,
because ·I speak the truth [L my lips are not deceitful].
2 ·You will judge that I am right [L My judgment/vindication will come from before you];
your eyes can see what is ·true [virtuous].
3 You have examined my heart;
you have ·tested me all [or visited me at] night.
You ·questioned [tested] me without finding anything wrong;
·I have not sinned with my mouth [L my mouth has not transgressed].
4 ·I have obeyed your commands [L As for the deeds of people, by the word of your lips],
·so I have not done what evil people do [I have kept away from the ways of the violent].
5 ·I have done what you told me [L My steps have held fast to your paths];
·I have not failed [L My feet have not slipped].
6 I call to you,
·and [L for] you answer me, O God.
·Listen [L Extend your ear] to me now,
and hear what I say.
7 Your ·love [loyalty; covenant love] is wonderful.
·By your power [L At your right hand] you save those who ·trust [find their refuge in] you
from ·their enemies [those who rise up against them].
8 Protect me as ·you would protect your own [or the apple/L pupil of your] eye.
Hide me under the shadow of your wings.
9 Keep me from the wicked who ·attack [mistreat] me,
from my enemies who surround me.
10 They ·are selfish [close their callous hearts]
and ·brag about themselves [L their mouths speak proudly].
11 They have ·chased [tracked] me until they have surrounded me.
They ·plan [L set their eyes] to throw me to the ground.
12 They are like lions ready to ·kill [tear up prey];
like lions, they sit in ·hiding [ambush; cover].
13 Lord, rise up, ·face [confront] the enemy, and ·throw them down [subdue them].
·Save [Rescue; T Deliver] me from the wicked with your sword.
14 Lord, save me by your ·power [L hand] from mortals,
from mortals whose ·reward [portion] in the world is in this life.
·They have plenty of food [L Your stores have filled their bellies].
·They have many sons [or Their sons have plenty]
and leave ·much money [L their surplus] to their children.
15 ·Because I have lived right [In righteousness], I will see your face.
When I wake up, I will see your likeness and be satisfied.
