呼求 神秉公審判

大衛因便雅憫人古實的話,向耶和華所唱的“士迦庸”。

耶和華我的 神啊!我已經投靠了你,

求你拯救我脫離所有追趕我的人。

求你搭救我,

免得他們像獅子一般把我撕裂,

把我撕碎的時候,也沒有人搭救。

耶和華我的 神啊!如果我作了這事,

如果我手中有罪孽,

如果我以惡回報那與我為友的人,

或是無故掠奪與我為敵的人,

就任憑仇敵追趕我,直到追上,

把我的性命踐踏在地上,

使我的光榮歸於塵土。(細拉)

耶和華啊!求你在怒中起來,

求你挺身而起,抵擋我敵人的暴怒,

求你為我興起;你已經出令施行審判。

願萬民聚集環繞你,

願你歸回高處,統管他們。

願耶和華審判萬民。

耶和華啊!求你按著我的公義,

照著我心中的正直判斷我。

願惡人的惡行止息,

願你使義人堅立。

公義的 神啊!

你是察驗人心腸肺腑的。

10  神是我的盾牌,

他拯救心裡正直的人。

11  神是公義的審判者,

他是天天向惡人發怒的 神。

12 如果人不悔改,

 神必把他的刀磨快。

 神已經把弓拉開,準備妥當。

13 他親自預備了致命的武器,

他使所射的箭成為燃燒的箭。

14 看哪!惡人為了罪孽經歷產痛,

他懷的是惡毒,生下的是虛謊。

15 他挖掘坑穴,挖得深深的,

自己卻掉進所挖的陷阱裡。

16 他的惡毒必回到自己的頭上,

他的強暴必落在自己的頭頂上。

17 我要照著耶和華的公義稱謝他,

歌頌至高者耶和華的名。

求上帝伸張正義

大衛向耶和華唱的詩,與便雅憫人古實有關。

我的上帝耶和華啊,我投靠你,
求你拯救我脫離追趕我的人。
別讓他們像獅子般撕裂我,
無人搭救。
我的上帝耶和華啊,
倘若我犯了罪,
手上沾了不義;
倘若我恩將仇報,
無故搶奪仇敵,
就讓仇敵追上我,
踐踏我,使我聲名掃地。(細拉)

耶和華啊,
求你發怒攻擊我暴怒的仇敵。
我的上帝啊,
求你來伸張正義。
願萬民環繞你,
願你從高天治理他們,
願你審判萬民!
至高的耶和華啊,
我是公義正直的,
求你為我主持公道。
鑒察人心肺腑的公義上帝啊,
求你剷除邪惡,扶持義人。
10 上帝是我的盾牌,
祂拯救心地正直的人。
11 上帝是公義的審判官,
天天向惡人發怒。
12 他們若不悔改,祂必磨刀霍霍,
彎弓搭箭,誅滅他們。
13 祂準備好了奪命的兵器,
火箭已在弦上。
14 惡人心懷惡念,
居心叵測,滋生虛謊。
15 他們挖了陷阱,卻自陷其中。
16 他們的惡行臨到自己頭上,
他們的暴力落到自己腦殼上。
17 我要稱謝耶和華的公義,
我要歌頌至高者耶和華的名。

求上帝伸张正义

大卫向耶和华唱的诗,与便雅悯人古实有关。

我的上帝耶和华啊,我投靠你,
求你拯救我脱离追赶我的人。
别让他们像狮子般撕裂我,
无人搭救。
我的上帝耶和华啊,
倘若我犯了罪,
手上沾了不义;
倘若我恩将仇报,
无故抢夺仇敌,
就让仇敌追上我,
践踏我,使我声名扫地。(细拉)

耶和华啊,
求你发怒攻击我暴怒的仇敌。
我的上帝啊,
求你来伸张正义。
愿万民环绕你,
愿你从高天治理他们,
愿你审判万民!
至高的耶和华啊,
我是公义正直的,
求你为我主持公道。
鉴察人心肺腑的公义上帝啊,
求你铲除邪恶,扶持义人。
10 上帝是我的盾牌,
祂拯救心地正直的人。
11 上帝是公义的审判官,
天天向恶人发怒。
12 他们若不悔改,祂必磨刀霍霍,
弯弓搭箭,诛灭他们。
13 祂准备好了夺命的兵器,
火箭已在弦上。
14 恶人心怀恶念,
居心叵测,滋生虚谎。
15 他们挖了陷阱,却自陷其中。
16 他们的恶行临到自己头上,
他们的暴力落到自己脑壳上。
17 我要称谢耶和华的公义,
我要歌颂至高者耶和华的名。

1-2 God! God! I am running to you for dear life;
    the chase is wild.
If they catch me, I’m finished:
    ripped to shreds by foes fierce as lions,
    dragged into the forest and left
    unlooked for, unremembered.

3-5 God, if I’ve done what they say—
    betrayed my friends,
    ripped off my enemies—
If my hands are really that dirty,
    let them get me, walk all over me,
    leave me flat on my face in the dirt.

6-8 Stand up, God; pit your holy fury
    against my furious enemies.
Wake up, God. My accusers have packed
    the courtroom; it’s judgment time.
Take your place on the bench, reach for your gavel,
    throw out the false charges against me.
I’m ready, confident in your verdict:
    “Innocent.”

9-11 Close the book on Evil, God,
    but publish your mandate for us.
You get us ready for life:
    you probe for our soft spots,
    you knock off our rough edges.
And I’m feeling so fit, so safe:
    made right, kept right.
God in solemn honor does things right,
    but his nerves are sandpapered raw.

11-13 Nobody gets by with anything.
    God is already in action—
Sword honed on his whetstone,
    bow strung, arrow on the string,
Lethal weapons in hand,
    each arrow a flaming missile.

14 Look at that guy!
    He had sex with sin,
    he’s pregnant with evil.
Oh, look! He’s having
    the baby—a Lie-Baby!

15-16 See that man shoveling day after day,
    digging, then concealing, his man-trap
    down that lonely stretch of road?
Go back and look again—you’ll see him in it headfirst,
    legs waving in the breeze.
That’s what happens:
    mischief backfires;
    violence boomerangs.

17 I’m thanking God, who makes things right.
I’m singing the fame of heaven-high God.

Psalm 7[a]

A shiggaion[b](A) of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjamite.

Lord my God, I take refuge(B) in you;
    save and deliver me(C) from all who pursue me,(D)
or they will tear me apart like a lion(E)
    and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue(F) me.

Lord my God, if I have done this
    and there is guilt on my hands(G)
if I have repaid my ally with evil
    or without cause(H) have robbed my foe—
then let my enemy pursue and overtake(I) me;
    let him trample my life to the ground(J)
    and make me sleep in the dust.[c](K)

Arise,(L) Lord, in your anger;
    rise up against the rage of my enemies.(M)
    Awake,(N) my God; decree justice.
Let the assembled peoples gather around you,
    while you sit enthroned over them on high.(O)
    Let the Lord judge(P) the peoples.
Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,(Q)
    according to my integrity,(R) O Most High.(S)
Bring to an end the violence of the wicked
    and make the righteous secure—(T)
you, the righteous God(U)
    who probes minds and hearts.(V)

10 My shield[d](W) is God Most High,
    who saves the upright in heart.(X)
11 God is a righteous judge,(Y)
    a God who displays his wrath(Z) every day.
12 If he does not relent,(AA)
    he[e] will sharpen his sword;(AB)
    he will bend and string his bow.(AC)
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
    he makes ready his flaming arrows.(AD)

14 Whoever is pregnant with evil
    conceives trouble and gives birth(AE) to disillusionment.
15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
    falls into the pit(AF) they have made.(AG)
16 The trouble they cause recoils on them;
    their violence comes down on their own heads.

17 I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;(AH)
    I will sing the praises(AI) of the name of the Lord Most High.(AJ)
