诗篇 55
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
被朋友出卖者的祷告
大卫作的训诲诗，交给乐长，用弦乐器。
55 上帝啊，
求你垂听我的祷告，
不要对我的呼求置之不理。
2 求你垂听、应允我的呼求。
我思绪烦乱，坐立不安。
3 仇敌向我咆哮，
恶人迫害我。
他们带给我苦难，
怒气冲冲地辱骂我。
4 我内心悲痛，
被死亡的恐怖笼罩。
5 我浑身颤栗，惊恐不已。
6 啊，但愿我能像鸽子展翅飞去，
得享安息。
7 我要飞到远方，住在旷野。（细拉）
8 我要赶快躲进避难所，
避过暴雨狂风。
9 主啊，
我在城中看见暴力和争斗，
求你使他们言语混乱。
10 他们昼夜在城墙上出没，
城内充满了邪恶和压迫，
11 毁坏的势力到处肆虐，
恐吓与欺诈遍布大街小巷。
12 倘若是仇敌辱骂我，
我还能忍受；
倘若是恨我的人欺凌我，
我还可以躲开。
13 可是，竟然是你——我志同道合的伙伴，我的挚友！
14 从前我们情谊深厚，
与众人同去上帝的殿。
15 愿死亡突然抓住我的仇敌，
愿他们活活地下阴间，
因为他们的内心和家中罪恶充斥。
16 但我要呼求耶和华上帝，
祂必拯救我。
17 晚上、早晨和中午，
我发出痛苦的呼求，
祂必垂听。
18 虽然许多人攻击我，
祂必救我平安脱离险境。
19 永掌王权的上帝必鉴察并惩罚他们，
因为他们顽梗悖逆、不敬畏上帝。
20 我的同伴违背盟约，攻击朋友。
21 他口蜜腹剑，笑里藏刀。
22 把你的重担卸给耶和华，
祂必扶持你。
祂必不让义人跌倒。
23 上帝啊，
你必把恶人送进灭亡的坑里。
嗜血成性的骗子必早早夭亡。
但我要信靠你。
Psalm 55

Psalm 55
Betrayal by a Friend
For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Davidic Maskil.
1 God, listen to my prayer
and do not ignore[a] my plea for help.(A)
2 Pay attention to me and answer me.(B)
I am restless and in turmoil with my complaint,(C)
3 because of the enemy’s voice,
because of the pressure[b] of the wicked.
For they bring down disaster on me[c]
and harass me in anger.(D)
4 My heart shudders within me;(E)
terrors of death sweep over me.
5 Fear and trembling grip me;
horror has overwhelmed me.(F)
6 I said, “If only I had[d] wings like a dove!
I would fly away and find rest.(G)
7 How far away I would flee;
I would stay in the wilderness.(H)
8 I would hurry to my shelter
from the raging wind and the storm.”(I)
9 Lord, confuse[e] and confound their speech,[f](J)
for I see violence and strife in the city;
10 day and night they make the rounds on its walls.
Crime and trouble are within it;(K)
11 destruction is inside it;
oppression and deceit never leave its marketplace.(L)
12 Now it is not an enemy who insults me—
otherwise I could bear it;
it is not a foe who rises up against me—
otherwise I could hide from him.
13 But it is you, a man who is my peer,
my companion and good friend!(M)
14 We used to have close fellowship;
we walked with the crowd into the house of God.(N)
15 Let death take them by surprise;(O)
let them go down to Sheol alive,
because evil is in their homes and within them.(P)
16 But I call to God,
and the Lord will save me.(Q)
17 I complain and groan morning, noon, and night,(R)
and He hears my voice.(S)
18 Though many are against me,
He will redeem me from my battle unharmed.(T)
19 God, the One enthroned from long ago,(U)
will hear and will humiliate them
because they do not change
and do not fear God.(V)
20 My friend(W) acts violently
against those at peace with him;(X)
he violates his covenant.(Y)
21 His buttery words are smooth,[g]
but war is in his heart.
His words are softer than oil,
but they are drawn swords.(Z)
22 Cast your burden on the Lord,
and He will sustain you;(AA)
He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.(AB)
23 God, You will bring them down
to the Pit of destruction;(AC)
men of bloodshed and treachery
will not live out half their days.(AD)
But I will trust in You.(AE)
