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
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Psalm 17
A Prayer for Protection
A Davidic prayer.
1 Lord, hear a just cause;(A)
pay attention to my cry;
listen to my prayer—
from lips free of deceit.(B)
2 Let my vindication come from You,
for You see what is right.(C)
3 You have tested my heart;(D)
You have examined me at night.
You have tried me and found nothing evil;(E)
I have determined that my mouth will not sin.[a]
4 Concerning what people do:
by the word of Your lips[b]
I have avoided the ways of the violent.(F)
5 My steps are on Your paths;
my feet have not slipped.(G)
6 I call on You, God,
because You will answer me;(H)
listen closely to me; hear what I say.
7 Display the wonders of Your faithful love,(I)
Savior of all who seek refuge(J)
from those who rebel against Your right hand.[c]
8 Protect me as the pupil of Your eye;(K)
hide me in the shadow of Your wings(L)
9 from[d] the wicked who treat me violently,[e]
my deadly enemies who surround me.(M)
10 They have become hardened;[f](N)
their mouths speak arrogantly.(O)
11 They advance against me;[g] now they surround me.(P)
They are determined[h]
to throw me to the ground.(Q)
12 They are[i] like a lion eager to tear,
like a young lion lurking in ambush.(R)
13 Rise up, Lord!
Confront him; bring him down.(S)
With Your sword, save me from the wicked.(T)
14 With Your hand, Lord, save me from men,
from men of the world
whose portion is in this life:
You fill their bellies with what You have in store;
their sons are satisfied,
and they leave their surplus to their children.(U)
15 But I will see Your face in righteousness;(V)
when I awake, I will be satisfied with Your presence.[j](W)
