诗篇 57
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
被围困中的呼求
大卫作的诗，交给乐长，调用“休要毁坏”。当时他因逃避扫罗躲进了洞里。
57 上帝啊，求你怜悯我，怜悯我，
因为我投靠你。
我要在你翅膀下得到荫庇，
直到灾难结束。
2 我向至高的上帝，
向为我成就一切的上帝呼求。
3 上帝从天上施助、拯救我，
使迫害我的人蒙羞。
上帝必彰显祂的慈爱和信实。
4 我被狮子包围，
躺卧在吃人的野兽中。
他们的牙齿是矛和箭，
舌头是尖刀。
5 上帝啊，
愿人对你的尊崇超过诸天，
愿你的荣耀覆盖大地。
6 我的仇敌设下网罗，
我心中沮丧。
他们在我走的路上挖了陷阱，
自己却掉了进去。（细拉）
7 上帝啊，我心坚定，我心坚定，
我要唱诗赞美你。
8 我的心啊，要振奋起来！
琴瑟啊，弹奏吧！
我要唤醒黎明！
9 主啊，我要在列邦称谢你，
在列国歌颂你。
10 因为你的慈爱高达诸天，
你的信实广及穹苍。
11 上帝啊，
愿你得到的尊崇超过诸天，
愿你的荣耀覆盖大地。
Psalm 57
King James Version
57 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
Psalm 57
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 57[a]
Confident Prayer for Deliverance
1 For the director. Do not destroy.[b] A miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into a cave.(A)
I
2 Have mercy on me, God,
have mercy on me.
In you I seek refuge.
In the shadow of your wings[c] I seek refuge
till harm pass by.(B)
3 I call to God Most High,
to God who provides for me.
4 May God send help from heaven to save me,
shame those who trample upon me.
May God send fidelity and mercy.
Selah
5 I must lie down in the midst of lions
hungry for human prey.(C)
Their teeth are spears and arrows;
their tongue, a sharpened sword.(D)
6 Be exalted over the heavens, God;
may your glory appear above all the earth.(E)
II
7 They have set a trap for my feet;
my soul is bowed down;
They have dug a pit before me.
May they fall into it themselves!(F)
Selah
8 My heart is steadfast, God,
my heart is steadfast.
I will sing and chant praise.(G)
9 Awake, my soul;
awake, lyre and harp!
I will wake the dawn.[d](H)
10 I will praise you among the peoples, Lord;
I will chant your praise among the nations.(I)
11 For your mercy towers to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.(J)
12 Exalt yourself over the heavens, God;
may your glory appear above all the earth.
Footnotes
- Psalm 57 Each of the two equal strophes contains a prayer for rescue from enemies, accompanied by joyful trust in God (Ps 57:2–5, 7–11). The refrain prays that God be manifested as saving (Ps 57:6, 12). Ps 108 is nearly identical to part of this Psalm (cf. Ps 57:8–11, Ps 108:2–6).
- 57:1 Do not destroy: probably the title of the melody to which the Psalm was to be sung.
- 57:2 The shadow of your wings: probably refers to the wings of the cherubim (powerful winged animals) whose wings spread over the ark in the inner chamber of the Temple (1 Kgs 6:23–28).
- 57:9 I will wake the dawn: by a bold figure the psalmist imagines the sound of music and singing will waken a new day.
