诗篇 56
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
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。
2 我的仇敌终日践踏我,
攻击我的人很多。
3 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。
4 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?
5 他们终日歪曲我的话,
常常设计谋陷害我。
6 他们聚集在一起,埋伏着,
窥探我的脚踪,
等候要害我的性命。
7 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。
8 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?
9 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?
Psalm 56
EasyEnglish Bible
This is for the music leader, and he should use special music.
David wrote this prayer when the Philistines took hold of him in Gath.
Trust in God[a]
56 God, please be kind to me, and help me,
because people are fighting me.
My enemies are attacking me every day.
2 They chase me all the time!
Those proud people want to catch me,
and there are many of them!
3 But when I am afraid,
I will trust in you.
4 By God's help, I will praise his word.
By God's help, I will trust in him.
I will not be afraid.
People can do nothing to hurt me![b]
5 All the time, they bring trouble on me.
They are always thinking of ways to hurt me.
6 They hide and they watch me.
They watch me wherever I go,
and they hope to kill me.
7 God, they want to do wicked things,
so punish them!
Destroy these people,
because you are angry with them.
8 Every time that I am upset,
you know about it.
Put all my tears in your bottle!
Yes, write down every tear in your book.[c]
9 When I call to you for help,
my enemies will turn back.
I am sure of this: God is with me,
to fight for me.
10 By God's help, I will praise his promise.
Yes, by the Lord's help,
I will praise his word.
11 I am not afraid,
because I trust in God.
People can do nothing to hurt me.
12 I have made special promises to you, God,
and I will do what I have promised.
I will offer to you a sacrifice to say ‘thank you’.
13 You have saved my life from death.
You keep me safe so that I do not fall.
As a result, I will serve you, God,
as you give me light to live here on earth.
