求助的早祷

大卫逃避儿子押沙龙时作的诗。

耶和华啊,我的敌人何其多!
反对我的人何其多!
他们都说上帝不会来救我。(细拉)[a]

可是,耶和华啊!
你是四面保护我的盾牌,
你赐我荣耀,使我昂首而立。
我向耶和华呼求,
祂就从祂的圣山上回应我。(细拉)
我躺下,我睡觉,我醒来,
都蒙耶和华看顾。
我虽被千万仇敌围困,
也不会惧怕。
耶和华啊,求你起来!
我的上帝啊,求你救我!
求你掴我一切仇敌的脸,
打碎恶人的牙齿。
耶和华啊,你是拯救者,
愿你赐福你的子民!(细拉)

  1. 3:2 细拉”语意不明,常在诗篇中出现,可能是一种音乐术语。

A psalm by David when he fled from his son Absalom.

O Lord, look how my enemies have increased!
Many are attacking me.
Many are saying about me,
“Even with God ⌞on his side⌟,
he won’t be victorious.” Selah

But you, O Lord, are a shield that surrounds me.
You are my glory.
You hold my head high.

I call aloud to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah
I lie down and sleep.
I wake up again because the Lord continues to support me.
I am not afraid of the tens of thousands
who have taken positions against me on all sides.

Arise, O Lord!
Save me, O my God!
You have slapped all my enemies in the face.
You have smashed the teeth of wicked people.
Victory belongs to the Lord!
May your blessing rest on your people. Selah

Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Psalm 3[a]

A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.(A)

Lord, how many are my foes!
    How many rise up against me!
Many are saying of me,
    “God will not deliver him.(B)[b]

But you, Lord, are a shield(C) around me,
    my glory, the One who lifts my head high.(D)
I call out to the Lord,(E)
    and he answers me from his holy mountain.(F)

I lie down and sleep;(G)
    I wake again,(H) because the Lord sustains me.
I will not fear(I) though tens of thousands
    assail me on every side.(J)

Arise,(K) Lord!
    Deliver me,(L) my God!
Strike(M) all my enemies on the jaw;
    break the teeth(N) of the wicked.

From the Lord comes deliverance.(O)
    May your blessing(P) be on your people.
