求 神懲罰背信棄義的惡人

大衛的金詩,交給詩班長,調用“休要毀壞”,是在掃羅打發人去窺探大衛的家,要殺死他以後作的。

59 我的 神啊!求你救我脫離我的仇敵,

求你把我安放在高處,脫離那些起來攻擊我的人。

求你救我脫離作孽的人,

救我脫離流人血的人。

看哪!他們埋伏要害我的性命;

強盛的人聚集起來攻擊我;

耶和華啊!這不是因我的過犯,

也不是因我的罪惡。

我雖然沒有過錯,

他們還是跑來,預備好攻擊我。

求你醒來,幫助我,鑒察我。

萬軍的 神耶和華啊!你是以色列的 神,

求你醒來,懲罰萬國;

求你不要恩待那些背信棄義的惡人。(細拉)

他們每晚都回來,

好像狗一樣狂吠,

環繞著城行走。

看哪!他們口中吐出惡言,

他們嘴裡吐出利刀,

他們心裡說:“有誰聽見呢?”

但你耶和華必譏笑他們,

你必嗤笑萬國。

我的力量啊!我要仰望你,

 神啊!因為你是我的高臺。

10 我的 神必以慈愛迎接我;

 神必叫我看見我的仇敵遭報。

11 不要殺害他們,免得我的人民忘記了;

主啊!你是我們的盾牌,

求你用你的能力,使他們飄流無定,

並且降為卑微。

12 因他們口中的罪,

因他們嘴裡所說的話,

願他們在自己的驕傲中被纏住。

因他們所說的是咒罵和欺騙的話,

13 求你在怒中消滅他們,

消滅他們,以致無一倖免,

好使他們知道 神在雅各中間掌權,

直到地極。(細拉)

14 他們每晚都回來,

好像狗一樣狂吠,

環繞著城行走。

15 他們四處飄流,尋找食物;

如果得不到飽足,就不斷咆哮。

16 至於我,我要歌頌你的能力,

每天早晨我要向你的慈愛歡呼,

因為你作了我的高臺,

在患難的日子,作了我的避難所。

17 我的力量啊!我要向你歌唱;

 神啊!你是我的高臺,

是向我施慈愛的 神。

Prayer for Rescue from Enemies.

For the music director; set to [a]Al-tashheth. A [b]Mikhtam of David, [c]when Saul sent men and they watched the house in order to kill him.

59 (A)Rescue me from my enemies, my God;
[d](B)Set me securely on high away from those who rise up against me.
Rescue me from (C)those who practice injustice,
And save me from (D)men of bloodshed.
For behold, they (E)have [e]set an ambush for my [f]life;
[g]Fierce men (F)attack me,
(G)Not for my wrongdoing nor for my sin, Lord,
[h](H)For no guilt of mine, they run and take their stand against me.
(I)Stir Yourself to [i]help me, and see!
You, (J)Lord God of armies, the God of Israel,
Awake to [j](K)punish all the nations;
(L)Do not be gracious to any who deal treacherously in wrongdoing. Selah
They (M)return at evening, they howl like a (N)dog,
And prowl around the city.
Behold, they (O)gush forth with their mouths;
(P)Swords are in their lips,
For, they say, “(Q)Who hears?”
But You, Lord, (R)laugh at them;
You (S)scoff at all the nations.

Because of [k]his (T)strength I will watch for You,
For God is my (U)refuge.
10 [l]My God (V)in His faithfulness will meet me;
God will let me (W)look triumphantly upon my enemies.
11 Do not kill them, (X)or my people will forget;
[m](Y)Scatter them by Your power and bring them down,
Lord, (Z)our shield.
12 [n]On account of the (AA)sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,
May they even be (AB)caught in their pride,
And on account of (AC)curses and lies which they tell.
13 [o](AD)Destroy them in wrath, [p]destroy them so that they will no longer exist;
So that people may (AE)know that God [q]rules in Jacob,
To the ends of the earth. Selah
14 They (AF)return at evening, they howl like a dog,
And prowl around the city.
15 They (AG)wander about [r]for food
And [s]murmur if they are not satisfied.

16 But as for me, I will (AH)sing of Your strength;
Yes, I will (AI)joyfully sing of Your faithfulness in the (AJ)morning,
For You have been my (AK)refuge
And a (AL)place of refuge on the day of my distress.
17 (AM)My strength, I will sing praises to You;
For God is my (AN)refuge, the [t]God who shows me favor.
