诗篇 59
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
祈求上帝佑护
大卫作的诗，交给乐长，调用“休要毁坏”。当时扫罗派人去监视大卫的家，要杀害大卫。
59 我的上帝啊，
求你救我脱离仇敌，
保护我免遭其害。
2 求你救我脱离作恶之徒，
脱离嗜血成性之人。
3 看啊，他们要暗害我。
耶和华啊，我并未犯罪作恶，
凶残的人却攻击我。
4 我没有过错，
他们却准备攻击我。
求你起来帮助我，
顾念我的困境。
5 万军之耶和华，以色列的上帝啊，
求你起来惩罚列国，
不要姑息奸诈的恶人。（细拉）
6 他们夜晚回来，
嚎叫如狗，在城中游荡。
7 他们出口伤人，舌如利剑，
还说：“谁听得见？”
8 但你耶和华必嗤笑他们，
嘲讽列国。
9 上帝啊，
你是我的力量，我的堡垒，
我仰望你。
10 我的上帝爱我，
祂会帮助我，
让我欣然看见仇敌遭报。
11 保护我们的主啊，
求你不要杀掉他们，
免得我的百姓忘记教训。
求你用你的能力驱散他们，
使他们沦为卑贱。
12 他们的嘴巴充满罪恶，
口中尽是咒诅和谎言，
愿他们陷在狂傲中不能自拔。
13 求你发烈怒毁灭他们，
彻底铲除他们，
使普天下都知道上帝在雅各家掌权。（细拉）
14 他们夜晚回来，
嚎叫如狗，在城中游荡，
15 四处觅食，
吃不饱就狂吠不止。
16 但我要歌颂你的能力，
在清晨颂扬你的慈爱，
因为你是我的堡垒，
是我患难时的避难所。
17 上帝啊，你是我的力量，
我要颂赞你，
你是我的堡垒，
是爱我的上帝。
Psalm 59
Expanded Bible
A Prayer for Protection
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A miktam [C perhaps “inscription”] of David when Saul sent men to ·watch David’s house [L the house] to kill him [1 Sam. 19:11–17].
59 God, ·save [protect] me from my enemies.
·Protect me [Give me refuge] from those who ·come [rise] against me.
2 ·Save [Protect] me from those who do evil
and ·save me from [give me victory over] ·murderers [the bloodthirsty].
3 Look, they are waiting to ambush ·me [my life; Prov. 1:11].
·Cruel [Defiant; Strong] people attack me,
but I have not sinned or ·done wrong [transgressed], Lord.
4 I have done nothing wrong, but they ·are ready to attack me [L run and get ready].
Wake up to ·help [meet] me, and look.
5 You are the Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts], the God of Israel.
·Arise [L Awake] and ·punish [visit] ·those people [L all the nations].
Do not give those traitors any ·mercy [grace]. ·
6 They come back at ·night [evening].
Like dogs they ·growl [make a commotion] and ·roam around [surround] the city.
7 Notice what ·comes [bubbles up] from their mouths.
·Insults [L Swords] come from their lips,
because they say, “Who’s listening?”
8 But, Lord, you laugh at them [2:4];
you ·make fun of [ridicule] all ·of them [L the nations].
9 God, my strength, I ·am looking to [keep watch for] you,
because God is my ·defender [refuge].
10 My God ·loves [is loyal to] me, and he goes in front of me.
He will help me ·defeat [L look on] my enemies.
11 Lord, our ·protector [L shield], do not kill them, or my people will forget.
With your power ·scatter them [make them wander] and ·defeat them [L bring them down].
12 They sin by what they say;
they sin with their ·words [L lips].
They curse and tell lies,
so let their pride ·trap [capture] them.
13 ·Destroy [Annihilate] them in your anger;
·destroy [annihilate] them ·completely [L so they will be no more]!
Then they will know
that God rules over ·Israel [L Jacob]
and to the ends of the earth. ·
14 They come back at ·night [evening].
Like dogs they ·growl [make a commotion]
and ·roam around [surround] the city.
15 They wander about looking for food,
and they ·howl [grumble] if they ·do not find enough [are not satisfied].
16 But I will sing about your strength.
In the morning I will sing about your ·love [loyalty].
You are my ·defender [refuge],
my place of safety in ·times of trouble [L the day of distress].
17 God, my strength, I will sing ·praises [a psalm] to you.
God, my ·defender [refuge], you are the God who ·loves [is loyal to] me.
