Psalm 57

Legacy Standard Bible

Let Your Glory Be Above All the Earth

For the choir director. ^[a]Al-tashheth. Of David. A ^[b]Mikhtam. ^[c]When he fled from Saul in the cave.

57 Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me,
For my soul ^(A)takes refuge in You;
And in the ^(B)shadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction ^(C)passes by.
²I will call to God Most High,
To God who ^(D)accomplishes all things for me.
³He will ^(E)send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches him who ^[d]^(F)tramples upon me. ^[e]Selah.
God will send His ^(G)lovingkindness and His ^[f]truth.

⁴My soul is among ^(H)lions;
I am lying down among those who breathe forth fire,
Sons of men whose ^(I)teeth are spears and arrows
And their ^(J)tongue a sharp sword.
⁵^(K)Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
⁶They have ^[g]set a ^(L)net for my steps;
My soul is ^(M)bowed down;
They ^(N)dug a pit before me;
They themselves have ^(O)fallen into the midst of it. Selah.

⁷^(P)My ^(Q)heart is set, O God, my heart is set;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
⁸Awake, ^(R)my glory!
Awake, ^(S)harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
⁹^(T)I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the ^[h]nations.
¹⁰For Your ^(U)lovingkindness is great to the heavens
And Your ^[i]truth to the skies.
¹¹^(V)Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

诗篇 57

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

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。

²我要向至高的　神呼求，

就是向為我成就他旨意的　神呼求。

³　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。

⁴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。

⁵　神啊！願你被尊崇，過於諸天；

願你的榮耀遍及全地。

⁶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）

⁷　神啊！我的心堅定，我的心堅定；

我要歌唱，我要頌讚。

⁸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。

⁹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

大衛的金詩，交給詩班長，調用“休要毀壞”。

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.^[b] When he had fled from Saul into the cave.^(B)

¹Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.^(C)
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings^(D)

³He sends from heaven and saves me,^(G)
    rebuking those who hotly pursue me—^[c]^(H)
    God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.^(I)

⁴I am in the midst of lions;^(J)
I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.^(K)

⁵Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.^(L)

⁶They spread a net for my feet^(M)—
I was bowed down^(N) in distress.
They dug a pit^(O) in my path—
but they have fallen into it themselves.^(P)

⁷My heart, O God, is steadfast,
    my heart is steadfast;^(Q)
    I will sing and make music.
⁸Awake, my soul!
    Awake, harp and lyre!^(R)
    I will awaken the dawn.

⁹I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
¹⁰For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.^(S)

let your glory be over all the earth.^(U)
