Psalm 17
Legacy Standard Bible
In the Shadow of Your Wings
A Prayer of David.
17 Hear a (A)righteous cause, O Yahweh, (B)give heed to my cry of lamentation;
(C)Give ear to my prayer, which is not from (D)deceitful lips.
2 May (E)my [a]judgment come from Your presence;
May Your eyes behold (F)what is upright.
3 You have (G)tested my heart;
You have visited me by night;
You have (H)tried me and (I)You find [b]nothing;
I have (J)purposed that my mouth will not [c]transgress.
4 As for the deeds of men, (K)by the word of Your lips
I have kept from the (L)paths of the violent.
5 My (M)steps have held fast to Your [d]paths.
My (N)footsteps have not stumbled.
6 I have (O)called upon You, for You will answer me, O God;
(P)Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
7 (Q)Marvelously show Your lovingkindnesses,
O (R)Savior of those who take refuge [e]at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.
8 Keep me as [f]the (S)apple of the eye;
Hide me (T)in the shadow of Your wings
9 From the (U)wicked who devastate me,
My (V)deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They have (W)closed their [g]unfeeling heart,
With their mouth they (X)speak proudly.
11 They have now (Y)surrounded us in our steps;
They set their eyes (Z)to cast us down to the ground.
12 He is (AA)like a lion that is eager to tear,
And as a young lion (AB)lurking in hiding places.
13 (AC)Arise, O Yahweh, confront him, (AD)bring him low;
(AE)Protect my soul from the wicked with (AF)Your sword,
14 From men with (AG)Your hand, O Yahweh,
From men [h]of the world, (AH)whose portion is in this life,
And whose belly You (AI)fill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And leave their excess to their infants.
15 As for me, I shall (AJ)behold Your face in righteousness;
(AK)I will be satisfied [i]with Your (AL)likeness when I awake.

诗篇 17
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
无辜人祈求 神保护
大卫的祷告。
17 耶和华啊！求你垂听我公义的案件，
倾听我的申诉；
求你留心听我的祷告，
这不是出于诡诈嘴唇的祷告。（本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题）
2 愿我的判词从你面前发出，
愿你的眼睛察看正直的事。
3 你试验了我的心，在夜间鉴察了我；
你熬炼了我，还是找不到甚么，
因为我立志使我的口没有过犯。
4 至于世人的行为，
我借着你嘴唇所出的话，保护了自己，
不行强暴人的道路。
5 我的脚步稳踏在你的路径上，
我的两脚没有动摇。
6 神啊！我向你呼求，因为你必应允我；
求你侧耳听我，垂听我的祷告。
7 求你把你的慈爱奇妙地彰显，
用右手拯救那些投靠你的，
脱离那些起来攻击他们的。
8 求你保护我，像保护眼中的瞳人，
把我隐藏在你的翅膀荫下；
9 使我脱离那些欺压我的恶人，
脱离那些围绕我的死敌。
10 他们闭塞了怜悯的心（“怜悯的心”原文作“他们的脂油”），
口里说出骄傲的话。
11 他们追踪我，现在把我围困了（“他们追踪我，现在把我围困了”原文作“他们围困了我们的脚步”）；
他们瞪着眼，要把我推倒在地上。
12 他们像急于撕碎猎物的狮子，
又像蹲伏在隐密处的幼狮。
13 耶和华啊！求你起来，迎面攻击他们，把他们打倒；
用你的刀救我的命脱离恶人。
14 耶和华啊！求你用手救我脱离世人，
脱离那些只在今生有分的世人。
求你用你为他们储存的充满他们的肚腹，
使他们的儿女都可以饱尝，
他们还有剩余的留给他们的子孙。
15 至于我，我必在义中得见你的面；
我醒来的时候，
得见你的形象就心满意足。
Psalm 17
English Standard Version
In the Shadow of Your Wings
A (A)Prayer of David.
17 Hear a just cause, O Lord; (B)attend to my cry!
Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
2 From your presence (C)let my vindication come!
Let your eyes behold the right!
3 You have (D)tried my heart, you have (E)visited me by (F)night,
you have (G)tested me, and you will find nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
4 With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5 My steps have (H)held fast to your paths;
my feet have not slipped.
6 I (I)call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
(J)incline your ear to me; hear my words.
7 (K)Wondrously show[a] your steadfast love,
O Savior of those who seek refuge
from (L)their adversaries at your right hand.
8 Keep me as (M)the apple of your eye;
hide me in (N)the shadow of your wings,
9 from the wicked who do me violence,
my deadly enemies who (O)surround me.
10 (P)They close their hearts to pity;
with their mouths they (Q)speak arrogantly.
11 They have now surrounded our (R)steps;
they set their eyes to (S)cast us to the ground.
12 He is like a lion eager to tear,
as a young lion (T)lurking in ambush.
13 Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him!
Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
14 from men by your hand, O Lord,
from (U)men of the world whose (V)portion is in this life.[b]
You fill their womb with treasure;[c]
they are satisfied with (W)children,
and they leave their abundance to their infants.
15 As for me, I shall (X)behold your face in righteousness;
when I (Y)awake, I shall be (Z)satisfied with your likeness.
