哀诉仇敌之虐害

56 非利士人在迦特拿住大卫。那时,他作这金诗,交于伶长。调用远方无声鸽。

神啊,求你怜悯我,因为人要把我吞了,终日攻击欺压我。
我的仇敌终日要把我吞了,因逞骄傲攻击我的人甚多。
我惧怕的时候要倚靠你。
我倚靠神,我要赞美他的话。我倚靠神,必不惧怕,血气之辈能把我怎么样呢?
他们终日颠倒我的话,他们一切的心思都是要害我。
他们聚集、埋伏,窥探我的脚踪,等候要害我的命。
他们岂能因罪孽逃脱吗?神啊,求你在怒中使众民堕落!
我几次流离,你都记数,求你把我眼泪装在你的皮袋里。这不都记在你册子上吗?
我呼求的日子,我的仇敌都要转身退后。神帮助我,这是我所知道的。

颂感神之救恩

10 我倚靠神,我要赞美他的话!我倚靠耶和华,我要赞美他的话!

11 我倚靠神,必不惧怕,人能把我怎么样呢?
12 神啊,我向你所许的愿在我身上,我要将感谢祭献给你。
13 因为你救我的命脱离死亡,你岂不是救护我的脚不跌倒,使我在生命光中行在神面前吗?

For the choir director; according to yonath elem rechokim; [a] a miktam by David when the Philistines captured him in Gath.

56 Have pity on me, O God, because people are harassing me.
All day long warriors oppress me.
All day long my enemies spy on me.
They harass me.
There are so many fighting against me.
Even when I am afraid, I still trust you.

I praise God’s word.
I trust God.
I am not afraid.
What can mere flesh ⌞and blood⌟ do to me?

All day long my enemies twist my words.
Their every thought is an evil plan against me.
They attack, and then they hide.
They watch my every step as they wait to take my life.
With the wrong they do, can they escape?
O God, angrily make the nations fall.
(You have kept a record of my wanderings.
Put my tears in your bottle.
They are already in your book.)
Then my enemies will retreat when I call ⌞to you⌟.
This I know: God is on my side.

10 I praise God’s word.
I praise the Lord’s word.
11 I trust God.
I am not afraid.
What can mortals do to me?

12 I am bound by my vows to you, O God.
I will keep my vows by offering songs of thanksgiving to you.
13 You have rescued me from death.
You have kept my feet from stumbling
so that I could walk in your presence, in the light of life.

Prayer for Relief from Tormentors

To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“The Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A Michtam of David when the (A)Philistines captured him in Gath.

56 Be (B)merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;
Fighting all day he oppresses me.
My enemies would (C)hound me all day,
For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.

Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.
In God (I will praise His word),
In God I have put my trust;
(D)I will not fear.
What can flesh do to me?

All day they twist my words;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
They gather together,
They hide, they mark my steps,
When they lie in wait for my life.
Shall they escape by iniquity?
In anger cast down the peoples, O God!

You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle;
(E)Are they not in Your book?
When I cry out to You,
Then my enemies will turn back;
This I know, because (F)God is for me.
10 In God (I will praise His word),
In the Lord (I will praise His word),
11 In God I have put my trust;
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

12 Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God;
I will render praises to You,
13 (G)For You have delivered my soul from death.
Have You not kept my feet from falling,
That I may walk before God
In the (H)light of the living?

  1. Psalm 56:1 Heb. Jonath Elem Rechokim

Prayer of Trust in God

56 Show me Your loving-kindness, O God, for man has walked on me. All day long the one who tries to keep me down fights with me. All day long those who hate me have walked on me. For there are many who fight against me with pride. When I am afraid, I will trust in You. I praise the Word of God. I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can only a man do to me? All day long they change my words to say what I did not say. They are always thinking of ways to hurt me. They go after me as in a fight. They hide themselves. They watch my steps, as they have waited to take my life. Because they are bad, do not let them get away. Bring down the people in Your anger, O God.

You have seen how many places I have gone. Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book? Then those who hate me will turn back when I call. I know that God is for me. 10 I praise the Word of God. I praise the Word of the Lord. 11 In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 12 I am under an agreement with You, O God. I will give You gifts of thanks. 13 For You have set my soul free from death. You have kept my feet from falling, so I may walk with God in the light of life.

信靠上帝的祷告

大卫作的诗,交给乐长,调用“远方无声鸽”,大卫在迦特被非利士人抓住时所作。

56 上帝啊,求你怜悯我,
因为仇敌攻击我,整日迫害我。
我的仇敌整日攻击我,
许多人狂妄地迫害我。
我害怕的时候,
仍要倚靠你。
我赞美上帝的应许,
我信靠祂,就不惧怕,
区区世人能把我怎样?
他们整天歪曲我的话,
总是图谋害我。
他们勾结起来,
暗中监视我的行踪,
伺机害我。
上帝啊,
不要让这些作恶的人逃脱,
求你在怒中毁灭他们。
你知道我的哀伤,
你把我的眼泪收在袋中。
我的遭遇都记录在你的册子上。
我向你求救的时候,
敌人都落荒而逃。
我知道上帝是我的帮助。
10 我因上帝的应许而赞美祂,
我因耶和华的应许而赞美祂。
11 我信靠上帝,就不惧怕,
区区世人能把我怎样?
12 上帝啊,
我要恪守向你发的誓言,
献上感恩祭。
13 因为你救我脱离死亡,
使我没有跌倒,
让我可以活在你面前,
沐浴生命之光。
