¹大衛的詩，交給詩班長。我所讚美的　神啊！求你不要緘默無聲，（本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題）

²因為邪惡的人的嘴和詭詐的人的口，已經張開攻擊我；他們用虛謊的舌頭對我說話。

²for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.

³他們說毒恨的話圍攻我，無緣無故攻擊我。

³They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

⁴他們以敵對的態度來回報我的愛；至於我，我只有禱告。

⁴In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.

⁵他們對我以惡報善，以憎恨回報我的愛。

⁵They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

⁶求你派一個惡人對付他；派一個對頭站在他的右邊。

⁶Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.

⁷他受審判的時候，願他被判為有罪；願他的禱告成為罪。

⁷When he is judged, let him come forth guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.

⁸願他的年日短少，願別人取代他的職分。

⁸Let his days be few. Let another take his office.

⁹願他的兒女成為孤兒；願他的妻子成為寡婦。

⁹Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

¹⁰願他的兒女流離失所，到處求乞；願他們從他們破毀的家中被趕逐出去。

¹⁰Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.

¹¹願債主奪去他一切所有的；願外人都劫掠他勞碌得來的。

¹¹Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.

¹²願無人對他施仁慈；願無人恩待他的孤兒。

¹²Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.

¹³願他的後人被除滅，願他們的名字在下一代被塗抹。

¹³Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.

¹⁴願他列祖的罪孽被耶和華謹記；願他母親的罪惡不被塗抹。

¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

¹⁵願這些罪常在耶和華面前，好使他們的名號從地上被除掉。

¹⁵Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;

¹⁶因為他從沒有想起要施慈愛，只知道迫害困苦、貧窮和傷心的人，要把他們置於死地。

¹⁶because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.

¹⁷他愛咒詛，願咒詛臨到他；他不喜愛祝福，願福樂遠離他。

¹⁷Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

¹⁸他以咒詛當作衣服穿上，咒詛就像水一般進入他的內臟，像油一樣進入他的骨頭。

¹⁸He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.

¹⁹願這咒詛像衣服一般給他披上，並當作他常常束上的腰帶。

¹⁹Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

²⁰願敵對我和用惡言攻擊我的，都從耶和華那裡得到這報應。

²⁰This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those who speak evil against my soul.

²¹至於你，主耶和華啊！求你為你名的緣故恩待我；按著你美好的慈愛拯救我。

²¹But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;

²²因為我困苦貧窮，我的內心傷痛。

²²for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

²³我像日影傾斜，漸漸消逝，又像蝗蟲被抖掉。

²³I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.

²⁴我因禁食，雙膝軟弱無力；我的身體消瘦枯乾。

²⁴My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.

²⁵我成了他們羞辱的對象；他們一看見我，就搖頭。

²⁵I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

²⁶耶和華我的　神啊！求你幫助我；求你按著你的慈愛拯救我，

²⁶Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;

²⁷好讓人知道這是出於你的手，是你耶和華所作的事。

²⁷that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh, have done it.

²⁸任憑他們咒詛，只願你賜福；願起來攻擊我的都蒙羞，你的僕人卻要歡喜。

²⁸They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.

²⁹願敵對我的披戴羞辱；願他們以自己的恥辱為外袍披在身上。

²⁹Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

³⁰我要用口極力稱謝耶和華；我要在眾人中間讚美他。

³⁰I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.

³¹因為他必站在貧窮人的右邊，拯救他脫離定他死罪的人。

³¹For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
