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

Prayer with Confidence in Final Salvation
A Prayer of David.
17 Hear a just cause, O Lord,
Attend to my cry;
Give ear to my prayer which is not from deceitful lips.
2 Let my vindication come from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look on the things that are upright.
3 You have tested my heart;
You have visited me in the night;
(A)You have [a]tried me and have found [b]nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth shall not (B)transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men,
By the word of Your lips,
I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer.
5 (C)Uphold my steps in Your paths,
That my footsteps may not slip.
6 (D)I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God;
Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech.
7 Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand,
O You who [c]save those who trust in You
From those who rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the [d]apple of Your eye;
Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,
9 From the wicked who oppress me,
From my deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They have closed up their (E)fat hearts;
With their mouths they (F)speak proudly.
11 They have now surrounded us in our steps;
They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,
12 As a lion is eager to tear his prey,
And like a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O Lord,
Confront him, cast him down;
Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword,
14 With Your hand from men, O Lord,
From men of the world who have their portion in this life,
And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure.
They are satisfied with children,
And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.
15 As for me, (G)I will see Your face in righteousness;
(H)I shall be satisfied when I (I)awake in Your likeness.

The Message
17 1-2 Listen while I build my case, God,
the most honest prayer you’ll ever hear.
Show the world I’m innocent—
in your heart you know I am.
3 Go ahead, examine me from inside out,
surprise me in the middle of the night—
You’ll find I’m just what I say I am.
My words don’t run loose.
4-5 I’m not trying to get my way
in the world’s way.
I’m trying to get your way,
your Word’s way.
I’m staying on your trail;
I’m putting one foot
In front of the other.
I’m not giving up.
6-7 I call to you, God, because I’m sure of an answer.
So—answer! bend your ear! listen sharp!
Paint grace-graffiti on the fences;
take in your frightened children who
Are running from the neighborhood bullies
straight to you.
8-9 Keep your eye on me;
hide me under your cool wing feathers
From the wicked who are out to get me,
from mortal enemies closing in.
10-14 Their hearts are hard as nails,
their mouths blast hot air.
They are after me, nipping my heels,
determined to bring me down,
Lions ready to rip me apart,
young lions poised to pounce.
Up, God: beard them! break them!
By your sword, free me from their clutches;
Barehanded, God, break these mortals,
these flat-earth people who can’t think beyond today.
I’d like to see their bellies
swollen with famine food,
The weeds they’ve sown
harvested and baked into famine bread,
With second helpings for their children
and crusts for their babies to chew on.
15 And me? I plan on looking
you full in the face. When I get up,
I’ll see your full stature
and live heaven on earth.
