诗篇 59
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
求 神懲罰背信棄義的惡人
大衛的金詩，交給詩班長，調用“休要毀壞”，是在掃羅打發人去窺探大衛的家，要殺死他以後作的。
59 我的 神啊！求你救我脫離我的仇敵，
求你把我安放在高處，脫離那些起來攻擊我的人。
2 求你救我脫離作孽的人，
救我脫離流人血的人。
3 看哪！他們埋伏要害我的性命；
強盛的人聚集起來攻擊我；
耶和華啊！這不是因我的過犯，
也不是因我的罪惡。
4 我雖然沒有過錯，
他們還是跑來，預備好攻擊我。
求你醒來，幫助我，鑒察我。
5 萬軍的 神耶和華啊！你是以色列的 神，
求你醒來，懲罰萬國；
求你不要恩待那些背信棄義的惡人。（細拉）
6 他們每晚都回來，
好像狗一樣狂吠，
環繞著城行走。
7 看哪！他們口中吐出惡言，
他們嘴裡吐出利刀，
他們心裡說：“有誰聽見呢？”
8 但你耶和華必譏笑他們，
你必嗤笑萬國。
9 我的力量啊！我要仰望你，
神啊！因為你是我的高臺。
10 我的 神必以慈愛迎接我；
神必叫我看見我的仇敵遭報。
11 不要殺害他們，免得我的人民忘記了；
主啊！你是我們的盾牌，
求你用你的能力，使他們飄流無定，
並且降為卑微。
12 因他們口中的罪，
因他們嘴裡所說的話，
願他們在自己的驕傲中被纏住。
因他們所說的是咒罵和欺騙的話，
13 求你在怒中消滅他們，
消滅他們，以致無一倖免，
好使他們知道 神在雅各中間掌權，
直到地極。（細拉）
14 他們每晚都回來，
好像狗一樣狂吠，
環繞著城行走。
15 他們四處飄流，尋找食物；
如果得不到飽足，就不斷咆哮。
16 至於我，我要歌頌你的能力，
每天早晨我要向你的慈愛歡呼，
因為你作了我的高臺，
在患難的日子，作了我的避難所。
17 我的力量啊！我要向你歌唱；
神啊！你是我的高臺，
是向我施慈愛的 神。
Psalm 59
New Century Version
A Prayer for Protection
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A miktam of David when Saul sent men to watch David’s house to kill him.
59 God, save me from my enemies.
Protect me from those who come against me.
2 Save me from those who do evil
and from murderers.
3 Look, they are waiting to ambush me.
Cruel people attack me,
but I have not sinned or done wrong, Lord.
4 I have done nothing wrong, but they are ready to attack me.
Wake up to help me, and look.
5 You are the Lord God All-Powerful, the God of Israel.
Arise and punish those people.
Do not give those traitors any mercy. Selah
6 They come back at night.
Like dogs they growl and roam around the city.
7 Notice what comes from their mouths.
Insults come from their lips,
because they say, “Who’s listening?”
8 But, Lord, you laugh at them;
you make fun of all of them.
9 God, my strength, I am looking to you,
because God is my defender.
10 My God loves me, and he goes in front of me.
He will help me defeat my enemies.
11 Lord, our protector, do not kill them, or my people will forget.
With your power scatter them and defeat them.
12 They sin by what they say;
they sin with their words.
They curse and tell lies,
so let their pride trap them.
13 Destroy them in your anger;
destroy them completely!
Then they will know
that God rules over Israel
and to the ends of the earth. Selah
14 They come back at night.
Like dogs they growl
and roam around the city.
15 They wander about looking for food,
and they howl if they do not find enough.
16 But I will sing about your strength.
In the morning I will sing about your love.
You are my defender,
my place of safety in times of trouble.
17 God, my strength, I will sing praises to you.
God, my defender, you are the God who loves me.
Psalm 59
Tree of Life Version
God Is My Strong Tower
Psalm 59
1 For the music director: “Do Not Destroy,” a Michtam of David, when Saul sent men to watch the house to kill him.
2 Deliver me from my enemies, my God!
Set me on high,
away from those who rise up against me.
3 Deliver me from workers of iniquity.
Rescue me from bloodthirsty men.
4 For behold, they lie in wait for me.
Defiant men stir up strife against me—
not for my transgression or sin, Adonai.
5 For no guilt of mine, they run and set things up.
Awake! Help me! Look!
6 For You are Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot, the God of Israel!
Rouse Yourself to punish all the nations.
Show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. Selah
7 They return at evening, snarling like a dog,
prowling about the city.
8 See, they are spewing with their mouth
—swords in their lips—
“After all, who is listening?”
9 But You, Adonai, are laughing at them.
You scoff at all the nations.
10 O my strength, I watch for You—
for God is my strong tower.
11 My God in His lovingkindness will go before me.
God will let me look down on my foes.
12 Do not slay them, lest my people forget.
With Your power shake them
and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
13 The sin of their mouth is the words of their lips.
So let them be caught in their pride,
and for uttering a curse and a lie.
14 Consume them in wrath,
consume them till they are no more.
Let them know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah
15 They return at evening, snarling like a dog,
prowling about the city.
16 They wander around for food.
If they are not full, they stay up all night.
17 But I—I sing of Your strength!
Yes, in the morning I sing aloud of Your lovingkindness.
For You have been my fortress,
a refuge in the day of my trouble.
18 O my strength, to You I sing praises.
For God is my strong tower—
my God of lovingkindness.
Psalm 59
The Message
59 1-2 My God! Rescue me from my enemies,
defend me from these mutineers.
Rescue me from their dirty tricks,
save me from their hit men.
3-4 Desperadoes have ganged up on me,
they’re hiding in ambush for me.
I did nothing to deserve this, God,
crossed no one, wronged no one.
All the same, they’re after me,
determined to get me.
4-5 Wake up and see for yourself! You’re God,
God-of-Angel-Armies, Israel’s God!
Get on the job and take care of these pagans,
don’t be soft on these hard cases.
6-7 They return when the sun goes down,
They howl like coyotes, ringing the city.
Then suddenly they’re all at the gate,
Snarling invective, drawn daggers in their teeth.
They think they’ll never get caught.
8-10 But you, God, break out laughing;
you treat the godless nations like jokes.
Strong God, I’m watching you do it,
I can always count on you.
God in dependable love shows up on time,
shows me my enemies in ruin.
11-13 Don’t make quick work of them, God,
lest my people forget.
Bring them down in slow motion,
take them apart piece by piece.
Let all their mean-mouthed arrogance
catch up with them,
Catch them out and bring them down
—every muttered curse
—every barefaced lie.
Finish them off in fine style!
Finish them off for good!
Then all the world will see
that God rules well in Jacob,
everywhere that God’s in charge.
14-15 They return when the sun goes down,
They howl like coyotes, ringing the city.
They scavenge for bones,
And bite the hand that feeds them.
16-17 And me? I’m singing your prowess,
shouting at dawn your largesse,
For you’ve been a safe place for me,
a good place to hide.
Strong God, I’m watching you do it,
I can always count on you—
God, my dependable love.
