求耶和华兴起御敌

大卫指着便雅悯古实的话,向耶和华唱的流离歌。

耶和华我的神啊,我投靠你,求你救我脱离一切追赶我的人,将我救拔出来,
恐怕他们像狮子撕裂我,甚至撕碎,无人搭救。
耶和华我的神啊,我若行了这事,若有罪孽在我手里,
我若以恶报那与我交好的人(连那无故与我为敌的,我也救了他),
就任凭仇敌追赶我,直到追上,将我的性命踏在地下,使我的荣耀归于灰尘!(细拉)
耶和华啊,求你在怒中起来,挺身而立,抵挡我敌人的暴怒;求你为我兴起,你已经命定施行审判。
愿众民的会环绕你,愿你从其上归于高位。
耶和华向众民施行审判。耶和华啊,求你按我的公义和我心中的纯正判断我。
愿恶人的恶断绝,愿你坚立义人,因为公义的神察验人的心肠肺腑。
10 神是我的盾牌,他拯救心里正直的人。
11 神是公义的审判者,又是天天向恶人发怒的神。
12 若有人不回头,他的刀必磨快,弓必上弦,预备妥当了。
13 他也预备了杀人的器械,他所射的是火箭。
14 试看恶人因奸恶而劬劳,所怀的是毒害,所生的是虚假。
15 他掘了坑,又挖深了,竟掉在自己所挖的阱里。
16 他的毒害必临到他自己的头上,他的强暴必落到他自己的脑袋上。
17 我要照着耶和华的公义称谢他,歌颂耶和华至高者的名。

求上帝伸张正义

大卫向耶和华唱的诗,与便雅悯人古实有关。

我的上帝耶和华啊,我投靠你,
求你拯救我脱离追赶我的人。
别让他们像狮子般撕裂我,
无人搭救。
我的上帝耶和华啊,
倘若我犯了罪,
手上沾了不义;
倘若我恩将仇报,
无故抢夺仇敌,
就让仇敌追上我,
践踏我,使我声名扫地。(细拉)

耶和华啊,
求你发怒攻击我暴怒的仇敌。
我的上帝啊,
求你来伸张正义。
愿万民环绕你,
愿你从高天治理他们,
愿你审判万民!
至高的耶和华啊,
我是公义正直的,
求你为我主持公道。
鉴察人心肺腑的公义上帝啊,
求你铲除邪恶,扶持义人。
10 上帝是我的盾牌,
祂拯救心地正直的人。
11 上帝是公义的审判官,
天天向恶人发怒。
12 他们若不悔改,祂必磨刀霍霍,
弯弓搭箭,诛灭他们。
13 祂准备好了夺命的兵器,
火箭已在弦上。
14 恶人心怀恶念,
居心叵测,滋生虚谎。
15 他们挖了陷阱,却自陷其中。
16 他们的恶行临到自己头上,
他们的暴力落到自己脑壳上。
17 我要称谢耶和华的公义,
我要歌颂至高者耶和华的名。

Psalm 7[a]

A shiggaion[b](A) of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjamite.

Lord my God, I take refuge(B) in you;
    save and deliver me(C) from all who pursue me,(D)
or they will tear me apart like a lion(E)
    and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue(F) me.

Lord my God, if I have done this
    and there is guilt on my hands(G)
if I have repaid my ally with evil
    or without cause(H) have robbed my foe—
then let my enemy pursue and overtake(I) me;
    let him trample my life to the ground(J)
    and make me sleep in the dust.[c](K)

Arise,(L) Lord, in your anger;
    rise up against the rage of my enemies.(M)
    Awake,(N) my God; decree justice.
Let the assembled peoples gather around you,
    while you sit enthroned over them on high.(O)
    Let the Lord judge(P) the peoples.
Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,(Q)
    according to my integrity,(R) O Most High.(S)
Bring to an end the violence of the wicked
    and make the righteous secure—(T)
you, the righteous God(U)
    who probes minds and hearts.(V)

10 My shield[d](W) is God Most High,
    who saves the upright in heart.(X)
11 God is a righteous judge,(Y)
    a God who displays his wrath(Z) every day.
12 If he does not relent,(AA)
    he[e] will sharpen his sword;(AB)
    he will bend and string his bow.(AC)
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
    he makes ready his flaming arrows.(AD)

14 Whoever is pregnant with evil
    conceives trouble and gives birth(AE) to disillusionment.
15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
    falls into the pit(AF) they have made.(AG)
16 The trouble they cause recoils on them;
    their violence comes down on their own heads.

17 I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;(AH)
    I will sing the praises(AI) of the name of the Lord Most High.(AJ)
