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
1599 Geneva Bible
17 1 Here he complaineth to God of the cruel pride and arrogance of Saul, and the rest of his enemies, who thus raged without any cause given on his part. 6 Therefore he desireth God to revenge his innocence and deliver him.
The prayer of David.
1 Hear [a]the right, O Lord, consider my cry: hearken unto my prayer of lips unfeigned.
2 Let my [b]sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes behold equity.
3 Thou hast [c]proved and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tried me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my [d]mouth should not offend.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the [e]words of thy lips I kept me from the paths of the cruel man.
5 Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feet do not slide.
6 I have called upon thee: [f]surely thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear to me, and hearken unto my words.
7 Show thy marvelous mercies: thou that art the Savior of them that trust in thee, from such as [g]resist thy right hand.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye: hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from mine enemies, which compass me round about for [h]my soul.
10 They are enclosed in their own [i]fat, and they have spoken proudly with their mouth.
11 They have compassed us now in our steps: they have set their eyes to bring down to the ground:
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of prey, and as it were a Lion’s whelp lurking in secret places.
13 Up Lord, [j]disappoint him: cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked [k]with thy sword,
14 From men by thine [l]hand, O Lord, from men [m]of the world, who have their [n]portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children have enough, and leave the rest of their substance for their children.
15 But I will behold thy face [o]in righteousness, and when I [p]wake, I shall be satisfied with thine image.
