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
New American Standard Bible
Prayer for Protection against Oppressors.
A Prayer of David.
17 Hear a (A)just cause, Lord, (B)give Your attention to my cry;
(C)Listen to my prayer, which is not from (D)deceitful lips.
2 Let (E)my [a]judgment come forth from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look with (F)integrity.
3 You have (G)put my heart to the test;
You have visited me by night;
You have (H)sifted me and (I)You find [b]nothing;
My (J)intent is that my mouth will not offend.
4 As for the works of mankind, (K)by the word of Your lips
I have kept from the (L)ways of the violent.
5 My (M)steps have held to Your [c]paths.
My (N)feet have not slipped.
6 I have (O)called upon You, for You will answer me, God;
(P)Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
7 (Q)Show Your wonderful faithfulness,
(R)Savior of those who take refuge [d]at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.
8 Keep me as [e]the (S)apple of the eye;
Hide me (T)in the shadow of Your wings
9 From the (U)wicked who deal violently with me,
My (V)deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They have (W)closed their [f]unfeeling hearts,
With their mouths 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 secret places.
13 (AC)Arise, Lord, confront him, (AD)make him bow down;
(AE)Save my soul from the wicked with (AF)Your sword,
14 From people by (AG)Your hand, Lord,
From people [g]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 abundance to their babies.
15 As for me, I shall (AJ)behold Your face in righteousness;
(AK)I shall be satisfied with Your (AL)likeness when I awake.
