诗篇 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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。
7 我的上帝耶和华啊，我投靠你，
求你拯救我脱离追赶我的人。
2 别让他们像狮子般撕裂我，
无人搭救。
3 我的上帝耶和华啊，
倘若我犯了罪，
手上沾了不义；
4 倘若我恩将仇报，
无故抢夺仇敌，
5 就让仇敌追上我，
践踏我，使我声名扫地。（细拉）
6 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。
7 愿万民环绕你，
愿你从高天治理他们，
8 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。
9 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。
Psalm 7
Common English Bible
Psalm 7
A shiggayon[a] of David, which he sang to the Lord about Cush, a Benjaminite.
7 I take refuge in you, Lord, my God.
Save me from all who chase me!
Rescue me!
2 Otherwise, they will rip me apart,
dragging me off with no chance of rescue.
3 Lord, my God, if I have done this—
if my hands have done anything wrong,
4 if I have repaid a friend with evil
or oppressed a foe for no reason—
5 then let my enemy
not only chase but catch me,
trampling my life into the ground,
laying my reputation in the dirt. Selah
6 Get up, Lord; get angry!
Stand up against the fury of my foes!
Wake up, my God;[b]
you command that justice be done!
7 Let the assembled peoples surround you.
Rule them from on high![c]
8 The Lord will judge the peoples.
Establish justice for me, Lord,
according to my righteousness
and according to my integrity.
9 Please let the evil of the wicked be over,
but set the righteous firmly in place
because you, the righteous God,
are the one who examines hearts and minds.
10 God is my shield;
he saves those whose heart is right.
11 God is a righteous judge,
a God who is angry at evil[d] every single day.
12 If someone doesn’t change their ways,
God will sharpen his sword,
will bend his bow,
will string an arrow.
13 God has deadly weapons in store
for those who won’t change;
he gets his flaming arrows ready!
14 But look how the wicked hatch evil,
conceive trouble, give birth to lies!
15 They make a pit, dig it all out,
and then fall right into the hole that they’ve made!
16 The trouble they cause
will come back on their own heads;
the violence they commit
will come down on their own skulls.
17 But I will thank the Lord
for his righteousness;
I will sing praises
to the name of the Lord Most High.

Psalm 7
New King James Version
Prayer and Praise for Deliverance from Enemies
A (A)Meditation[a] of David, which he sang to the Lord (B)concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.
7 O Lord my God, in You I put my trust;
(C)Save me from all those who persecute me;
And deliver me,
2 (D)Lest they tear me like a lion,
(E)Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O Lord my God, (F)if I have done this:
If there is (G)iniquity in my hands,
4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,
Or (H)have plundered my enemy without cause,
5 Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me;
Yes, let him trample my life to the earth,
And lay my honor in the dust. Selah
6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
(I)Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;
(J)Rise up [b]for me to the judgment You have commanded!
7 So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You;
For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
8 The Lord shall judge the peoples;
(K)Judge me, O Lord, (L)according to my righteousness,
And according to my integrity within me.
9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the just;
(M)For the righteous God tests the hearts and [c]minds.
10 [d]My defense is of God,
Who saves the (N)upright in heart.
11 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he does not turn back,
He will (O)sharpen His sword;
He bends His bow and makes it ready.
13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death;
He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
14 (P)Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity;
Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit and dug it out,
(Q)And has fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 (R)His trouble shall return upon his own head,
And his violent dealing shall come down on [e]his own crown.
17 I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
