祈求倚靠 神的蔭庇(A)

大衛的金詩,交給詩班長,調用“休要毀壞”,是大衛躲在山洞裡逃避掃羅時作的。

57  神啊,求你恩待我!求你恩待我!

因為我投靠你;

我要投靠在你翅膀的蔭下,

直到災害過去。

我要向至高的 神呼求,

就是向為我成就他旨意的 神呼求。

 神從天上施恩拯救我,

斥責那踐踏我的人;(細拉)

 神必向我發出他的慈愛和信實。

我躺臥在獅子中間,

就是在那些想吞滅人的世人中間;

他們的牙齒是槍和箭,

他們的舌頭是快刀。

 神啊!願你被尊崇,過於諸天;

願你的榮耀遍及全地。

他們為我的腳設下了網羅,

使我低頭屈服;

他們在我面前挖了坑,

自己反掉進坑中。(細拉)

 神啊!我的心堅定,我的心堅定;

我要歌唱,我要頌讚。

我的靈(“靈”或譯:“榮耀”或“肝”;與16:9,30:12,108:1同)啊!你要醒過來。

琴和瑟啊!你們都要醒過來。

我也要喚醒黎明。

主啊!我要在萬民中稱謝你,

在萬族中歌頌你。

10 因為你的慈愛偉大,高及諸天,

你的信實上達雲霄。

11  神啊!願你被尊崇,過於諸天;

願你的榮耀遍及全地。

祈願惡人遭報

Let Your Glory Be over All the Earth

To the choirmaster: according to (A)Do Not Destroy. A (B)Miktam[a] of David, when he fled from Saul, in (C)the cave.

57 (D)Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
    for in you my soul (E)takes refuge;
in (F)the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
    (G)till the storms of destruction pass by.
I cry out to God Most High,
    to God who (H)fulfills his purpose for me.
(I)He will send from heaven and save me;
    he will put to shame (J)him who tramples on me. Selah
(K)God will send out (L)his steadfast love and his faithfulness!

My soul is in the midst of (M)lions;
    I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose (N)teeth are spears and arrows,
    whose (O)tongues are sharp swords.

(P)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
    Let your glory be over all the earth!

They set (Q)a net for my steps;
    my soul was (R)bowed down.
They (S)dug a pit in my way,
    but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
(T)My heart is (U)steadfast, O God,
    my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
    (V)Awake, (W)my glory![b]
Awake, (X)O harp and lyre!
    I will awake the dawn!
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
    I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your (Y)steadfast love is great to the heavens,
    your faithfulness to the clouds.

11 (Z)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
    Let your glory be over all the earth!

Prayer for Safety from Enemies(A)

To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David (B)when he fled from Saul into the cave.

57 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me!
For my soul trusts in You;
(C)And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,
(D)Until these calamities have passed by.

I will cry out to God Most High,
To God (E)who performs all things for me.
(F)He shall send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches the one who [b]would swallow me up. Selah
God (G)shall send forth His mercy and His truth.

My soul is among lions;
I lie among the sons of men
Who are set on fire,
(H)Whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.
(I)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

(J)They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They have dug a pit before me;
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah

(K)My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise.
Awake, (L)my glory!
Awake, lute and harp!
I will awaken the dawn.

(M)I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing to You among the [c]nations.
10 (N)For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
And Your truth unto the clouds.

11 (O)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
