诗篇 56

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)

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。

¹神啊，求你怜悯我，因为人要把我吞了，终日攻击欺压我。
²我的仇敌终日要把我吞了，因逞骄傲攻击我的人甚多。
³我惧怕的时候要倚靠你。
⁴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？
⁵他们终日颠倒我的话，他们一切的心思都是要害我。
⁶他们聚集、埋伏，窥探我的脚踪，等候要害我的命。
⁷他们岂能因罪孽逃脱吗？神啊，求你在怒中使众民堕落！
⁸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？
⁹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？

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.
²They chase me all the time!
Those proud people want to catch me,
    and there are many of them!
³But when I am afraid,
    I will trust in you.
⁴By 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]
⁵All the time, they bring trouble on me.
    They are always thinking of ways to hurt me.
⁶They hide and they watch me.
They watch me wherever I go,
    and they hope to kill me.
⁷God, they want to do wicked things,
    so punish them!
Destroy these people,
    because you are angry with them.
⁸Every 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]
⁹When I call to you for help,
    my enemies will turn back.
I am sure of this: God is with me,
    to fight for me.
¹⁰By God's help, I will praise his promise.
Yes, by the Lord's help,
    I will praise his word.
¹¹I am not afraid,
    because I trust in God.
People can do nothing to hurt me.
¹²I 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’.
¹³You 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.

The Philistines were enemies of Saul and David and their people. David was afraid. He told God about it in this psalm. See 1 Samuel 21:10—22:2.
56:4 If we trust God, we do not need to be afraid of people. They may hurt our bodies, but God will always take care of us. He will keep us safe to be with him in heaven for ever.
56:8 Every time David cried, he asked God to put his tears into a bottle. He asked God to count them all and write them down in his book. David knew that God understood all about his troubles.
