無辜人祈求 神保護

大衛的禱告。

17 耶和華啊!求你垂聽我公義的案件,

傾聽我的申訴;

求你留心聽我的禱告,

這不是出於詭詐嘴唇的禱告。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)

願我的判詞從你面前發出,

願你的眼睛察看正直的事。

你試驗了我的心,在夜間鑒察了我;

你熬煉了我,還是找不到甚麼,

因為我立志使我的口沒有過犯。

至於世人的行為,

我藉著你嘴唇所出的話,保護了自己,

不行強暴人的道路。

我的腳步穩踏在你的路徑上,

我的兩腳沒有動搖。

 神啊!我向你呼求,因為你必應允我;

求你側耳聽我,垂聽我的禱告。

求你把你的慈愛奇妙地彰顯,

用右手拯救那些投靠你的,

脫離那些起來攻擊他們的。

求你保護我,像保護眼中的瞳人,

把我隱藏在你的翅膀蔭下;

使我脫離那些欺壓我的惡人,

脫離那些圍繞我的死敵。

10 他們閉塞了憐憫的心(“憐憫的心”原文作“他們的脂油”),

口裡說出驕傲的話。

11 他們追蹤我,現在把我圍困了(“他們追蹤我,現在把我圍困了”原文作“他們圍困了我們的腳步”);

他們瞪著眼,要把我推倒在地上。

12 他們像急於撕碎獵物的獅子,

又像蹲伏在隱密處的幼獅。

13 耶和華啊!求你起來,迎面攻擊他們,把他們打倒;

用你的刀救我的命脫離惡人。

14 耶和華啊!求你用手救我脫離世人,

脫離那些只在今生有分的世人。

求你用你為他們儲存的充滿他們的肚腹,

使他們的兒女都可以飽嘗,

他們還有剩餘的留給他們的子孫。

15 至於我,我必在義中得見你的面;

我醒來的時候,

得見你的形象就心滿意足。

无辜者的祈祷

大卫的祈祷。

17 耶和华啊,
求你听我祈求公义的声音,
侧耳听我的呼求,
垂听我真诚的祷告。
愿你宣判我无罪,
愿你明察是非。
你试验过我的心思,
夜间鉴察过我,磨炼过我,
找不出任何过犯;
我立志口不犯罪。
我遵守你的教导,洁身自守,
不与残暴之徒同流。
我坚定地走你的道路,
从未偏离。
上帝啊!我向你祈祷,
因为你必应允我。
求你垂听我的祷告。
求你彰显你奇妙的慈爱,
用右手拯救投靠你的人脱离仇敌。
求你保护我,像保护眼中的瞳仁,
用你的翅膀荫庇我,
救我脱离恶人的攻击,
脱离四围杀气腾腾的仇敌。
10 他们良心丧尽,口出狂言。
11 他们穷追围堵,
伺机把我打倒在地。
12 他们像急于撕碎猎物的饿狮,
又像蹲伏在暗处的猛狮。
13 耶和华啊,
求你起来迎头击倒他们,
求你持刀救我脱离恶人。
14 耶和华啊,
求你伸手救我脱离这些人,
脱离这些只在今生有福分的世人。
你使他们财宝无数。
他们儿女众多,
还把财富留给子孙。
15 但我因持守公义必见你的面;
我醒来见到你就心满意足了。

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!
From your presence (C)let my vindication come!
    Let your eyes behold the right!

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.
With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips
    I have avoided the ways of the violent.
My steps have (H)held fast to your paths;
    my feet have not slipped.

I (I)call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
    (J)incline your ear to me; hear my words.
(K)Wondrously show[a] your steadfast love,
    O Savior of those who seek refuge
    from (L)their adversaries at your right hand.

Keep me as (M)the apple of your eye;
    hide me in (N)the shadow of your wings,
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.

Psalm 17

A prayer of David.

Hear me,(A) Lord, my plea is just;
    listen to my cry.(B)
Hear(C) my prayer—
    it does not rise from deceitful lips.(D)
Let my vindication(E) come from you;
    may your eyes see what is right.(F)

Though you probe my heart,(G)
    though you examine me at night and test me,(H)
you will find that I have planned no evil;(I)
    my mouth has not transgressed.(J)
Though people tried to bribe me,
    I have kept myself from the ways of the violent
    through what your lips have commanded.
My steps have held to your paths;(K)
    my feet have not stumbled.(L)

I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;(M)
    turn your ear to me(N) and hear my prayer.(O)
Show me the wonders of your great love,(P)
    you who save by your right hand(Q)
    those who take refuge(R) in you from their foes.
Keep me(S) as the apple of your eye;(T)
    hide me(U) in the shadow of your wings(V)
from the wicked who are out to destroy me,
    from my mortal enemies who surround me.(W)

10 They close up their callous hearts,(X)
    and their mouths speak with arrogance.(Y)
11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,(Z)
    with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12 They are like a lion(AA) hungry for prey,(AB)
    like a fierce lion crouching in cover.

13 Rise up,(AC) Lord, confront them, bring them down;(AD)
    with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
    from those of this world(AE) whose reward is in this life.(AF)
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;
    may their children gorge themselves on it,
    and may there be leftovers(AG) for their little ones.

15 As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face;
    when I awake,(AH) I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.(AI)
