遭敌迫害求主扶助

54 西弗人来对扫罗说:“大卫岂不是在我们那里藏身吗?”那时,大卫作这训诲诗,交于伶长。用丝弦的乐器。

神啊,求你以你的名救我,凭你的大能为我申冤。
神啊,求你听我的祷告,留心听我口中的言语。
因为外人起来攻击我,强暴人寻索我的命,他们眼中没有神。(细拉)
神是帮助我的,是扶持我命的。
他要报应我仇敌所行的恶,求你凭你的诚实灭绝他们。
我要把甘心祭献给你,耶和华啊,我要称赞你的名,这名本为美好。
他从一切的急难中把我救出来,我的眼睛也看见了我仇敌遭报。

The Lord Upholds My Life

To the choirmaster: with (A)stringed instruments. A Maskil[a] of David, (B)when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is not David hiding among us?”

54 O God, save me by your (C)name,
    and vindicate me by your might.
O God, (D)hear my prayer;
    give ear to the words of my mouth.

(E)For (F)strangers[b] have risen against me;
    ruthless men (G)seek my life;
    they do not set God before themselves. Selah

Behold, (H)God is my helper;
    the Lord is the upholder of my life.
He will return the evil to my enemies;
    in your (I)faithfulness (J)put an end to them.

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
    I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, (K)for it is good.
For he has delivered me from every trouble,
    and my eye has (L)looked in triumph on my enemies.
