倚靠 神必不惧怕

大卫的金诗,交给诗班长,调用“远方无声鸽”,是大卫在迦特被非利士人捉住时作的。

56  神啊!求你恩待我,因为人要践踏我;

他们终日攻击我,迫害我。

我的仇敌终日践踏我,

攻击我的人很多。

至高者(“至高者”原文放在第2节末,在那里或译:“因逞骄傲攻击我的人很多”)啊!我惧怕的时候,

就要倚靠你。

靠着 神,我要赞美他的话;

我倚靠 神,就必不惧怕,

人能把我怎么样呢?

他们终日歪曲我的话,

常常设计谋陷害我。

他们聚集在一起,埋伏着,

窥探我的脚踪,

等候要害我的性命。

愿他们因罪孽的缘故不能逃脱;

 神啊!愿你在怒中使这些人败落。

我多次流离,你都数算;

你把我的眼泪装在你的皮袋里。

这不都记在你的册子上吗?

我呼求你的时候,

我的仇敌就都转身退后;

因此我知道 神是帮助我的。

10 靠着 神,我要赞美他的话;

靠着耶和华,我要赞美他的话。

11 我倚靠 神,就必不惧怕,

人能把我怎么样呢?

12  神啊!我要偿还我向你所许的愿,

我要把感谢祭献给你。

13 因为你救了我的性命脱离死亡;

你不是救了我的脚不跌倒,

使我在生命的光中,行在 神你的面前吗?

In God I Trust

To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A (A)Miktam[a] of David, when the (B)Philistines seized him in Gath.

56 (C)Be gracious to me, O God, for man (D)tramples on me;
    all day long an attacker oppresses me;
my enemies trample on me all day long,
    for many attack me proudly.
When I am afraid,
    I (E)put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise,
    in God I trust; (F)I shall not be afraid.
    What can flesh do to me?

All day long they injure my cause;[b]
    all their thoughts are against me for evil.
They (G)stir up strife, they (H)lurk;
    they (I)watch my steps,
    as they have waited for my life.
For their crime will they escape?
    (J)In wrath (K)cast down the peoples, O God!

You have kept count of my tossings;[c]
    (L)put my tears in your bottle.
    (M)Are they not in your book?
Then my enemies will turn back
    (N)in the day when I call.
    This I know, that[d] (O)God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
    in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; (P)I shall not be afraid.
    What can man do to me?

12 I must perform my (Q)vows to you, O God;
    I will (R)render thank offerings to you.
13 (S)For you have delivered my soul from death,
    yes, my feet from falling,
(T)that I may walk before God
    (U)in the light of life.

Trusting God for Help

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Dove in the Distant Oak.” A miktam of David when the Philistines captured him in Gath.

56 God, be merciful to me because people are chasing me.
    The battle has pressed me all day long.
My enemies have chased me all day.
    There are many of them fighting me.
When I am afraid,
    I will trust you.
I praise God for his word.
    I trust God. So I am not afraid.
    What can human beings do to me?

All day long they twist my words.
    All their evil plans are against me.
They wait. They hide.
    They watch my steps.
    They hope to kill me.
God, do not let them escape.
    Punish the foreign nations in your anger.
You have recorded my troubles.
    You have kept a list of my tears.
    Aren’t they in your records?

On the day I call for help, my enemies will be defeated.
    I know that God is on my side.
10 I praise God for his word to me.
    I praise the Lord for his word.
11 I trust in God. I will not be afraid.
    What can people do to me?

12 God, I must keep my promises to you.
    I will give you my offerings to thank you.
13 You have saved me from death.
    You have kept me from being defeated.
So I will walk with God
    in light among the living.
