哀訴詭詐惡人的迫害

大衛的訓誨詩,交給詩班長,用絲弦的樂器伴奏。

55  神啊!求你傾聽我的禱告,

不要隱藏起來不聽我的懇求。

求你留心聽我,應允我;

我在苦惱中必不安寧,唉哼難過;

這都是由於仇敵的聲音,

和惡人的欺壓;

因為他們使禍患臨到我的身上,

怒氣沖沖地迫害我。

我的心在我裡面絞痛,

死亡的恐怖落在我身上。

懼怕和戰兢臨到我,

驚恐籠罩著我。

我說:“但願我有鴿子一般的翅膀,

我就飛走,得以安居。

看哪!我必逃往遠處,

在曠野裡住宿。(細拉)

我要趕快到我避難的地方去,

逃避狂風暴雨。”

主啊!擾亂惡人的計謀,

使他們的意見(“意見”原文作“舌頭”)分歧,

因為我在城中看見了強暴和爭競的事。

10 惡人日夜在城牆上繞行,

在城裡盡是邪惡與禍害;

11 城中也有毀滅人的事,

欺壓和詭詐不離城裡的街道。

12 原來不是仇敵辱罵我,

如果是仇敵,我還可以忍受;

也不是恨我的人向我狂妄自大,

如果是恨我的人,我還可以躲避他。

13 但你是和我同等地位的人,

是我的良友,我的知己。

14 我們常在一起密談,

我們在 神的殿中與群眾同行。

15 願死亡忽然臨到他們身上,

願他們活活下到陰間去,

因為在他們中間,就是在他們的住所裡,盡是邪惡。

16 至於我,我卻要求告 神,

耶和華就必拯救我。

17 無論在晚上、早晨或中午,

我都哀訴唉哼;

他必聽我的聲音。

18 他救贖我的性命脫離攻擊我的人,

使我得著平安,

儘管攻擊我的人的確很多。

19  神必聽見,

那從亙古坐著為王的必使他們受苦,(細拉)

因他們不肯改變,

也不敬畏 神。

20 他違背了自己的約,

伸手攻擊那些與他和好的人。

21 他的口比奶油光滑,

他的心卻懷著爭戰的意圖;

他的話比油還柔和,

其實卻是拔了出來的刀。

22 你要把你的重擔卸給耶和華,

他必扶持你;

他永遠不會讓義人動搖。

23  神啊!你必使惡人墮入滅亡的深坑裡;

流人血和行詭詐的人必活不到半世;

至於我,我必倚靠你。

Oración del perseguido

Para el director del coro; con instrumentos de cuerda. Masquil[a] de David.

55 Escucha, oh Dios, mi oración(A),
y no te escondas de mi súplica(B).
Atiéndeme y respóndeme(C);
conmovido[b] estoy en mi queja(D) y muy conturbado[c](E),
a causa de la voz del enemigo,
por la opresión del impío(F);
pues echan iniquidad sobre mí(G),
y con furia me persiguen[d](H).

Angustiado está mi corazón dentro de mí(I),
y sobre mí han caído los terrores de la muerte(J).
Terror y temblor me invaden(K),
y horror[e] me ha cubierto[f](L).
Y dije: ¡Quién me diera alas como de paloma!
Volaría y hallaría reposo[g](M).
Ciertamente[h] huiría muy lejos;
moraría en el desierto(N). (Selah[i])
Me apresuraría a buscar mi lugar de refugio
contra el viento borrascoso y la tempestad(O).

Confunde[j], Señor, divide sus lenguas(P),
porque he visto violencia y rencilla en la ciudad(Q).
10 Día y noche la rondan sobre sus muros,
y en medio de ella hay iniquidad y malicia.
11 Hay destrucción en medio de ella(R),
y la opresión y el engaño no se alejan de sus calles[k](S).

12 Porque no es un enemigo el que me reprocha(T),
si así fuera[l], podría soportarlo;
ni es uno que me odia(U) el que se ha alzado contra mí,
si así fuera[m], podría ocultarme de él;
13 sino tú, que eres mi igual[n],
mi compañero, mi íntimo amigo(V);
14 nosotros que juntos teníamos dulce comunión,
que con la multitud andábamos en la casa de Dios(W).
15 Que la muerte los sorprenda[o](X),
que desciendan vivos al Seol[p](Y),
porque la maldad está en su morada, en medio de ellos.

16 En cuanto a mí, a Dios invocaré(Z),
y el Señor me salvará.
17 Tarde(AA), mañana(AB) y mediodía(AC) me lamentaré y gemiré,
y Él oirá mi voz.
18 En paz redimirá mi alma de la guerra que hay contra mí[q](AD),
pues son muchos los que están contra mí(AE).
19 Dios oirá y les responderá[r](AF),
El, que reina[s] desde la antigüedad(AG), (Selah)
porque no hay cambio[t] en ellos
ni temen a Dios(AH).
20 Aquel[u] ha extendido sus manos contra los que estaban en paz con él(AI),
ha violado[v] su pacto(AJ).
21 Las palabras de su boca eran más blandas que la mantequilla,
pero en su corazón había guerra;
más suaves que el aceite eran sus palabras(AK),
sin embargo, eran espadas desnudas(AL).

22 Echa sobre el Señor tu carga[w], y Él te sustentará(AM);
Él nunca permitirá que el justo sea sacudido[x](AN).
23 Pero tú, oh Dios, los harás caer al pozo de la destrucción[y](AO);
los hombres sanguinarios(AP) y engañadores no vivirán la mitad de sus días(AQ);
mas yo en ti confiaré(AR).

Psalm 55

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David.

Give ear to my prayer, O God;
and hide not thyself from my supplication.
Attend unto me, and hear me:
I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked:
for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
My heart is sore pained within me:
and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me,
and horror hath overwhelmed me.
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!
for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues:
for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:
mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof:
deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me;
then I could have borne it:
neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me;
then I would have hid myself from him:
13 but it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together,
and walked unto the house of God in company.

15 Let death seize upon them,
and let them go down quick into hell:
for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:
and he shall hear my voice.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me:
for there were many with me.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah.
Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him:
he hath broken his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart:
his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee:
he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction:
bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days;
but I will trust in thee.

Psalm 55[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil[b] of David.

Listen to my prayer, O God,
    do not ignore my plea;(A)
    hear me and answer me.(B)
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught(C)
    because of what my enemy is saying,
    because of the threats of the wicked;
for they bring down suffering on me(D)
    and assail(E) me in their anger.(F)

My heart is in anguish(G) within me;
    the terrors(H) of death have fallen on me.
Fear and trembling(I) have beset me;
    horror(J) has overwhelmed me.
I said, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
    I would fly away and be at rest.
I would flee far away
    and stay in the desert;[c](K)
I would hurry to my place of shelter,(L)
    far from the tempest and storm.(M)

Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words,(N)
    for I see violence and strife(O) in the city.(P)
10 Day and night they prowl(Q) about on its walls;
    malice and abuse are within it.
11 Destructive forces(R) are at work in the city;
    threats and lies(S) never leave its streets.

12 If an enemy were insulting me,
    I could endure it;
if a foe were rising against me,
    I could hide.
13 But it is you, a man like myself,
    my companion, my close friend,(T)
14 with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship(U)
    at the house of God,(V)
as we walked about
    among the worshipers.

15 Let death take my enemies by surprise;(W)
    let them go down alive to the realm of the dead,(X)
    for evil finds lodging among them.

16 As for me, I call to God,
    and the Lord saves me.
17 Evening,(Y) morning(Z) and noon(AA)
    I cry out in distress,
    and he hears my voice.
18 He rescues me unharmed
    from the battle waged against me,
    even though many oppose me.
19 God, who is enthroned from of old,(AB)
    who does not change—
he will hear(AC) them and humble them,
    because they have no fear of God.(AD)

20 My companion attacks his friends;(AE)
    he violates his covenant.(AF)
21 His talk is smooth as butter,(AG)
    yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,(AH)
    yet they are drawn swords.(AI)

22 Cast your cares on the Lord
    and he will sustain you;(AJ)
he will never let
    the righteous be shaken.(AK)
23 But you, God, will bring down the wicked
    into the pit(AL) of decay;
the bloodthirsty and deceitful(AM)
    will not live out half their days.(AN)

But as for me, I trust in you.(AO)
