仇敵攻擊, 神救助

大衛的詩,是在逃避他兒子押沙龍時作的。(除特別註明外,詩篇開首細字的標題在《馬索拉文本》都屬於第1節,原文的第2節即是譯文的第1節,依次類推。)

耶和華啊!我的仇敵竟然這麼多。

起來攻擊我的竟然那麼多。

有很多人議論我說:

“他從 神那裡得不到救助。”(細拉)

耶和華啊!你卻是我周圍的盾牌,

是我的榮耀,是使我抬起頭來的。

我發聲向耶和華呼求的時候,

他就從他的聖山上回答我。(細拉)

我躺下,我睡覺,

我醒來,都因耶和華在扶持著我。

雖有千萬人包圍攻擊我,

我也不怕。

耶和華啊!求你起來;

我的 神啊!求你拯救我,

你擊打了我所有仇敵的臉頰,

打碎了惡人的牙齒。

救恩屬於耶和華,

願你賜福給你的子民。(細拉)

Psalm 3

A psalm of David, regarding the time David fled from his son Absalom.

O Lord, I have so many enemies;
    so many are against me.
So many are saying,
    “God will never rescue him!” Interlude[a]

But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
    you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
I cried out to the Lord,
    and he answered me from his holy mountain. Interlude

I lay down and slept,
    yet I woke up in safety,
    for the Lord was watching over me.
I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies
    who surround me on every side.

Arise, O Lord!
    Rescue me, my God!
Slap all my enemies in the face!
    Shatter the teeth of the wicked!
Victory comes from you, O Lord.
    May you bless your people. Interlude

Psalm 3

A psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.

Lord, I have so many enemies!
    So many are standing against me.
So many are talking about me:
    “Even God won’t help him.” Selah[a]
But you, Lord, are my shield!
    You are my glory!
    You are the one who restores me.
I cry out loud to the Lord,
    and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah
I lie down, sleep, and wake up
    because the Lord helps me.
I won’t be afraid of thousands of people
    surrounding me on all sides.

Stand up, Lord!
    Save me, my God!
In fact, hit all my enemies on the jaw;
    shatter the teeth of the wicked!
Rescue comes from the Lord!
    May your blessing be on your people! Selah
