诗篇 55
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
哀訴詭詐惡人的迫害
大衛的訓誨詩，交給詩班長，用絲弦的樂器伴奏。
55 神啊！求你傾聽我的禱告，
不要隱藏起來不聽我的懇求。
2 求你留心聽我，應允我；
我在苦惱中必不安寧，唉哼難過；
3 這都是由於仇敵的聲音，
和惡人的欺壓；
因為他們使禍患臨到我的身上，
怒氣沖沖地迫害我。
4 我的心在我裡面絞痛，
死亡的恐怖落在我身上。
5 懼怕和戰兢臨到我，
驚恐籠罩著我。
6 我說：“但願我有鴿子一般的翅膀，
我就飛走，得以安居。
7 看哪！我必逃往遠處，
在曠野裡住宿。（細拉）
8 我要趕快到我避難的地方去，
逃避狂風暴雨。”
9 主啊！擾亂惡人的計謀，
使他們的意見（“意見”原文作“舌頭”）分歧，
因為我在城中看見了強暴和爭競的事。
10 惡人日夜在城牆上繞行，
在城裡盡是邪惡與禍害；
11 城中也有毀滅人的事，
欺壓和詭詐不離城裡的街道。
12 原來不是仇敵辱罵我，
如果是仇敵，我還可以忍受；
也不是恨我的人向我狂妄自大，
如果是恨我的人，我還可以躲避他。
13 但你是和我同等地位的人，
是我的良友，我的知己。
14 我們常在一起密談，
我們在 神的殿中與群眾同行。
15 願死亡忽然臨到他們身上，
願他們活活下到陰間去，
因為在他們中間，就是在他們的住所裡，盡是邪惡。
16 至於我，我卻要求告 神，
耶和華就必拯救我。
17 無論在晚上、早晨或中午，
我都哀訴唉哼；
他必聽我的聲音。
18 他救贖我的性命脫離攻擊我的人，
使我得著平安，
儘管攻擊我的人的確很多。
19 神必聽見，
那從亙古坐著為王的必使他們受苦，（細拉）
因他們不肯改變，
也不敬畏 神。
20 他違背了自己的約，
伸手攻擊那些與他和好的人。
21 他的口比奶油光滑，
他的心卻懷著爭戰的意圖；
他的話比油還柔和，
其實卻是拔了出來的刀。
22 你要把你的重擔卸給耶和華，
他必扶持你；
他永遠不會讓義人動搖。
23 神啊！你必使惡人墮入滅亡的深坑裡；
流人血和行詭詐的人必活不到半世；
至於我，我必倚靠你。
Psalm 55
King James Version
55 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
Psalm 55
New International Reader's Version
For the director of music. A maskil of David to be played on stringed instruments.
55 God, listen to my prayer.
Pay attention to my cry for help.
2 Hear me and answer me.
My thoughts upset me. I’m very troubled.
3 I’m troubled by what my enemies say about me.
I’m upset because they say they will harm me.
They cause me all kinds of suffering.
When they are angry, they attack me with their words.
4 I feel great pain deep down inside me.
The terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 Fear and trembling have taken hold of me.
Panic has overpowered me.
6 I said, “I wish I had wings like a dove!
Then I would fly away and be at rest.
7 I would escape to a place far away.
I would stay out in the desert.
8 I would hurry to my place of safety.
It would be far away from the winds and storms I’m facing.”
9 Lord, confuse the sinners and keep them from understanding one another.
I see people destroying things and fighting in the city.
10 Day and night they prowl around on top of its walls.
The city is full of crime and trouble.
11 Forces that destroy are at work inside it.
Its streets are full of people who cheat others and take advantage of them.
12 If an enemy were making fun of me,
I could stand it.
If he were getting ready to oppose me,
I could hide.
13 But it’s you, someone like myself.
It’s my companion, my close friend.
14 We used to enjoy good friendship at the house of God.
We used to walk together among those who came to worship.
15 Let death take my enemies by surprise.
Let them be buried alive,
because their hearts and homes are full of evil.
16 But I call out to God.
And the Lord saves me.
17 Evening, morning and noon
I groan and cry out.
And he hears my voice.
18 Even though many enemies are fighting against me,
he brings me safely back from the battle.
19 God has been on his throne since ancient times and does not change.
He will hear my enemies and make them humble.
That’s because they have no respect for God.
20 My companion attacks his friends.
He breaks his promise.
21 His talk is as smooth as butter.
But he has war in his heart.
His words flow like olive oil.
But they are like swords ready for battle.
22 Turn your worries over to the Lord.
He will keep you going.
He will never let godly people be shaken.
23 God, you will bring sinners
down to the grave.
Murderers and liars
won’t live out even half of their lives.
But I trust in you.
