A Call to Yahweh in Distress

A psalm of David at his fleeing from the presence of Absalom, his son.[a]

Yahweh, how many are my enemies;
many are rising against me.
Many are saying about my soul,
“There is no deliverance for him from[b] God. Selah[c]
But[d] you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory and the one who lifts up my head.
With my voice I call to Yahweh
and he answers me from his holy hill.[e] Selah
I lay down and slept;
I woke up because Yahweh sustains me.
I am not afraid of the ten thousands of people
who all around have set themselves against me.
Rise up, O Yahweh; deliver me, O my God;
for you strike all my enemies on the cheek.
The teeth of the wicked you break.
To Yahweh belongs deliverance;
may your blessing be over your people. Selah

仇敌攻击, 神救助

大卫的诗,是在逃避他儿子押沙龙时作的。(除特别注明外,诗篇开首细字的标题在《马索拉文本》都属于第1节,原文的第2节即是译文的第1节,依次类推。)

耶和华啊!我的仇敌竟然这么多。

起来攻击我的竟然那么多。

有很多人议论我说:

“他从 神那里得不到救助。”

(细拉)

耶和华啊!你却是我周围的盾牌,

是我的荣耀,是使我抬起头来的。

我发声向耶和华呼求的时候,

他就从他的圣山上回答我。

(细拉)

我躺下,我睡觉,

我醒来,都因耶和华在扶持着我。

虽有千万人包围攻击我,

我也不怕。

耶和华啊!求你起来;

我的 神啊!求你拯救我,

你击打了我所有仇敌的脸颊,

打碎了恶人的牙齿。

救恩属于耶和华,

愿你赐福给你的子民。(细拉)
