求主救援脱离敌害

59 扫罗打发人窥探大卫的房屋,要杀他。那时,大卫作这金诗,交于伶长。调用休要毁坏。

我的神啊,求你救我脱离仇敌,把我安置在高处,得脱那些起来攻击我的人。
求你救我脱离作孽的人,和喜爱流人血的人。
因为他们埋伏要害我的命,有能力的人聚集来攻击我。耶和华啊,这不是为我的过犯,也不是为我的罪愆。
我虽然无过,他们预备整齐,跑来攻击我。求你兴起,鉴察、帮助我!
万军之神耶和华,以色列的神啊,求你兴起,惩治万邦,不要怜悯行诡诈的恶人。(细拉)
他们晚上转回,叫号如狗,围城绕行。
他们口中喷吐恶言,嘴里有刀,他们说:“有谁听见?”
但你耶和华必笑话他们,你要嗤笑万邦。
我的力量啊,我必仰望你,因为神是我的高台。
10 我的神要以慈爱迎接我,神要叫我看见我仇敌遭报。
11 不要杀他们,恐怕我的民忘记。主啊,你是我们的盾牌,求你用你的能力使他们四散,且降为卑。
12 因他们口中的罪和嘴里的言语,并咒骂虚谎的话,愿他们在骄傲之中被缠住了。
13 求你发怒,使他们消灭,以至归于无有,叫他们知道神在雅各中间掌权,直到地极。(细拉)
14 到了晚上,任凭他们转回,任凭他们叫号如狗,围城绕行。
15 他们必走来走去,寻找食物,若不得饱,就终夜在外。
16 但我要歌颂你的力量,早晨要高唱你的慈爱,因为你做过我的高台,在我急难的日子做过我的避难所。
17 我的力量啊,我要歌颂你!因为神是我的高台,是赐恩于我的神。

This is for the music leader, and he should use special music.

David wrote this prayer when King Saul sent men to catch David at his house and murder him.

A prayer[a]

59 My God, please save me from my enemies!
They are attacking me,
    so please keep me safe from them.
Rescue me from those dangerous men,
    who are doing evil things.
Look at them! They are waiting to kill me!
    Cruel men are ready to attack me.
Lord, I have not done anything against them,
    but they still want to kill me.
I have done nothing that is wrong,
    but they are preparing to attack me.
Do something to help me!
    Look at what they are doing!
For you are the Lord God Almighty,
    the God that Israel serves.
Get up and punish all the foreign nations.
Do not forgive any wicked people
    who have turned against us.
Selah.
Those bad people come back to the city every evening.
They go from place to place,
    and they cry out like dogs.
They shout evil things,
    and their words hurt like swords.
They think, ‘Nobody can hear what we say!’
But Lord, you laugh at them.
    You laugh at all the foreign nations.
I will wait for you to help me,
    because you are the one who gives me strength.
You, God, are the strong place
    where I will be safe.
10 Yes God, you love me with a faithful love,
    and you will come to help me.
God will let me see that he has won against my enemies.
11 Do not kill them yet,
    or my people will soon forget.
Use your power to send them away without homes.
    Then make them fall!
You are our Lord
    who keeps us safe like a soldier's shield.
12 They speak bad words that are evil.
Let their own pride catch them in a trap,
    because they curse people,
    and they tell lies.
13 Because you are angry with them,
    destroy them!
Destroy them completely,
    so that they are no more.
Then everybody will know that God rules in Israel,
    and he rules everywhere in the earth.
Selah.
14 Those bad people come back to the city every evening.
They go from place to place,
    and they cry out like dogs.
15 They go from place to place
    and they look for food to eat.
They will not rest until they are full.
16 But I will sing to praise you.
    I will sing about your strength!
In the morning,
    I will praise you for your faithful love.
Because you are the strong place where I can hide.
When I am in trouble,
    you keep me safe.
17 You are the one who gives me strength.
    I will sing songs to praise you.
You, God, are my strong, safe place.
You are the God who loves me with a faithful love.
