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。

Deliver Me from My Enemies

For the choir director. [a]Al-tashheth. Of David. A [b]Mikhtam. [c]When Saul sent men and they watched the house in order to put him to death.

59 (A)Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
[d](B)Set me securely on high away from those who rise up against me.
Deliver me from (C)workers of iniquity
And save me from (D)men of bloodshed.
For behold, they (E)have lain in wait for my soul;
[e]Fierce men [f](F)launch an attack against me,
(G)Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Yahweh,
[g](H)For no guilt of mine, they run and set themselves against me.
(I)Arouse Yourself to meet me, and see!
You, (J)O Yahweh God of hosts, the God of Israel,
Awake to [h](K)punish all the nations;
(L)Do not be gracious to any who are treacherous in [i]iniquity. [j]Selah.
They (M)return at evening, they howl like a (N)dog,
And go around the city.
Behold, they (O)pour forth speech with their mouth;
(P)Swords are in their lips,
For, they say, “(Q)Who hears?”
But You, O Yahweh, (R)laugh at them;
You (S)mock all the nations.

Because of [k]his (T)strength I will watch for You,
For God is my (U)stronghold.
10 [l]My God (V)in His lovingkindness will approach me;
God will let me (W)look triumphantly upon [m]my foes.
11 Do not slay them, (X)or my people will forget;
(Y)Make them wander about by Your power, and bring them down,
O Lord, (Z)our shield.
12 [n]On account of the (AA)sin of their mouth and the word of their lips,
Let them even be (AB)caught in their pride,
And on account of (AC)curses and [o]lies which they utter.
13 [p](AD)Destroy them in wrath, [q]destroy them that they may be no more;
That men may (AE)know that God [r]rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth. Selah.
14 They (AF)return at evening, they howl like a dog,
And go around the city.
15 They (AG)wander about [s]for food
And [t]growl if they are not satisfied.

16 But as for me, I shall (AH)sing of Your strength;
And I shall (AI)joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the (AJ)morning,
For You have been my (AK)stronghold
And a (AL)refuge in the day of my distress.
17 (AM)O my strength, I will sing praises to You;
For God is my (AN)stronghold, the [u]God who shows me lovingkindness.
