求 神惩罚背信弃义的恶人

大卫的金诗,交给诗班长,调用“休要毁坏”,是在扫罗打发人去窥探大卫的家,要杀死他以后作的。

59 我的 神啊!求你救我脱离我的仇敌,

求你把我安放在高处,脱离那些起来攻击我的人。

求你救我脱离作孽的人,

救我脱离流人血的人。

看哪!他们埋伏要害我的性命;

强盛的人聚集起来攻击我;

耶和华啊!这不是因我的过犯,

也不是因我的罪恶。

我虽然没有过错,

他们还是跑来,预备好攻击我。

求你醒来,帮助我,鉴察我。

万军的 神耶和华啊!你是以色列的 神,

求你醒来,惩罚万国;

求你不要恩待那些背信弃义的恶人。(细拉)

他们每晚都回来,

好象狗一样狂吠,

环绕着城行走。

看哪!他们口中吐出恶言,

他们嘴里吐出利刀,

他们心里说:“有谁听见呢?”

但你耶和华必讥笑他们,

你必嗤笑万国。

我的力量啊!我要仰望你,

 神啊!因为你是我的高台。

10 我的 神必以慈爱迎接我;

 神必叫我看见我的仇敌遭报。

11 不要杀害他们,免得我的人民忘记了;

主啊!你是我们的盾牌,

求你用你的能力,使他们飘流无定,

并且降为卑微。

12 因他们口中的罪,

因他们嘴里所说的话,

愿他们在自己的骄傲中被缠住。

因他们所说的是咒骂和欺骗的话,

13 求你在怒中消灭他们,

消灭他们,以致无一幸免,

好使他们知道 神在雅各中间掌权,

直到地极。(细拉)

14 他们每晚都回来,

好象狗一样狂吠,

环绕着城行走。

15 他们四处飘流,寻找食物;

如果得不到饱足,就不断咆哮。

16 至于我,我要歌颂你的能力,

每天早晨我要向你的慈爱欢呼,

因为你作了我的高台,

在患难的日子,作了我的避难所。

17 我的力量啊!我要向你歌唱;

 神啊!你是我的高台,

是向我施慈爱的 神。

Psalm 59[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b] When Saul had sent men to watch David’s house(A) in order to kill him.

Deliver me from my enemies, O God;(B)
    be my fortress against those who are attacking me.(C)
Deliver me from evildoers(D)
    and save me from those who are after my blood.(E)

See how they lie in wait for me!
    Fierce men conspire(F) against me
    for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.
I have done no wrong,(G) yet they are ready to attack me.(H)
    Arise to help me; look on my plight!(I)
You, Lord God Almighty,
    you who are the God of Israel,(J)
rouse yourself(K) to punish all the nations;(L)
    show no mercy to wicked traitors.[c](M)

They return at evening,
    snarling like dogs,(N)
    and prowl about the city.
See what they spew from their mouths(O)
    the words from their lips are sharp as swords,(P)
    and they think, “Who can hear us?”(Q)
But you laugh at them, Lord;(R)
    you scoff at all those nations.(S)

You are my strength,(T) I watch for you;
    you, God, are my fortress,(U)
10     my God on whom I can rely.

God will go before me
    and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,[d](V)
    or my people will forget.(W)
In your might uproot them
    and bring them down.(X)
12 For the sins of their mouths,(Y)
    for the words of their lips,(Z)
    let them be caught in their pride.(AA)
For the curses and lies they utter,
13     consume them in your wrath,
    consume them till they are no more.(AB)
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
    that God rules over Jacob.(AC)

14 They return at evening,
    snarling like dogs,
    and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food(AD)
    and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will sing(AE) of your strength,(AF)
    in the morning(AG) I will sing of your love;(AH)
for you are my fortress,(AI)
    my refuge in times of trouble.(AJ)

17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
    you, God, are my fortress,
    my God on whom I can rely.(AK)

  4. Psalm 59:11 Or sovereign

59 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.

They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

To the director: To the tune “Don’t Destroy.” A miktam of David written when Saul sent people to watch David’s house to try to kill him.

59 God, save me from my enemies.
    Protect me from those who stand against me.
Save me from those who do wrong.
    Save me from those murderers.
Look, powerful men are waiting for me.
    Lord, they are waiting to kill me,
    even though I did not sin or commit a crime.
I have done nothing wrong, but they are rushing to attack me.
    Come and see for yourself!
You are the Lord God All-Powerful, the God of Israel!
    Get up and punish them.
    Don’t show any mercy to those traitors. Selah

Those evil men are like dogs
    that come into town in the evening,
    growling and roaming the streets.
Listen to their threats and insults.
    They say such cruel things,
    and they don’t care who hears them.

Lord, laugh at them.
    Make fun of them all.
God, my strength, I look to you for help.[a]
    You are my place of safety, high in the mountains.
10 God loves me, and he will help me win.
    He will help me defeat my enemies.
11 Don’t just kill them, or my people might forget.
    My Lord and Protector, scatter and defeat them with your strength.
12 Those evil people curse and tell lies.
    Punish them for what they said.
    Let their pride trap them.
13 Destroy them in your anger.
    Destroy them completely!
Then people all over the world will know
    that God rules over the people of Jacob. Selah

14 Those evil men are like dogs
    that come into town in the evening, growling and roaming the streets.
15 They roam around looking for food,
    but even if they eat their fill, they still growl and complain.
16 But I will sing about your strength.
    I will rejoice in your love every morning.
You have been my place of safety,
    the place I can run to when troubles come.
17 I will sing praises to you, my source of strength.
    You, God, are my place of safety.
    You are the God who loves me!
