¹大衛的訓誨詩，交給詩班長，用絲弦的樂器伴奏。　神啊！求你傾聽我的禱告，不要隱藏起來不聽我的懇求。

¹Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.

²求你留心聽我，應允我；我在苦惱中必不安寧，唉哼難過；

²Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

³這都是由於仇敵的聲音，和惡人的欺壓；因為他們使禍患臨到我的身上，怒氣沖沖地迫害我。

³Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.

⁴我的心在我裡面絞痛，死亡的恐怖落在我身上。

⁴My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.

⁵懼怕和戰兢臨到我，驚恐籠罩著我。

⁵Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.

⁶我說：“但願我有鴿子一般的翅膀，我就飛走，得以安居。

⁶I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.

⁷看哪！我必逃往遠處，在曠野裡住宿。（細拉）

⁷Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness.” Selah.

⁸我要趕快到我避難的地方去，逃避狂風暴雨。”

⁹主啊！擾亂惡人的計謀，使他們的意見（“意見”原文作“舌頭”）分歧，因為我在城中看見了強暴和爭競的事。

⁹Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

¹⁰惡人日夜在城牆上繞行，在城裡盡是邪惡與禍害；

¹⁰Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.

¹¹城中也有毀滅人的事，欺壓和詭詐不離城裡的街道。

¹¹Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.

¹²原來不是仇敵辱罵我，如果是仇敵，我還可以忍受；也不是恨我的人向我狂妄自大，如果是恨我的人，我還可以躲避他。

¹²For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.

¹³但你是和我同等地位的人，是我的良友，我的知己。

¹³But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.

¹⁴我們常在一起密談，我們在　神的殿中與群眾同行。

¹⁴We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.

¹⁵願死亡忽然臨到他們身上，願他們活活下到陰間去，因為在他們中間，就是在他們的住所裡，盡是邪惡。

¹⁵Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. . For wickedness is in their dwelling, in their midst.

¹⁶至於我，我卻要求告　神，耶和華就必拯救我。

¹⁶As for me, I will call on God. Yahweh will save me.

¹⁷無論在晚上、早晨或中午，我都哀訴唉哼；他必聽我的聲音。

¹⁷Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

¹⁸他救贖我的性命脫離攻擊我的人，使我得著平安，儘管攻擊我的人的確很多。

¹⁸He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.

¹⁹　神必聽見，那從亙古坐著為王的必使他們受苦，（細拉）因他們不肯改變，也不敬畏　神。

¹⁹God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and answer them. Selah. They never change, who don’t fear God.

²⁰他違背了自己的約，伸手攻擊那些與他和好的人。

²⁰He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his covenant.

²¹他的口比奶油光滑，他的心卻懷著爭戰的意圖；他的話比油還柔和，其實卻是拔了出來的刀。

²¹His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

²²你要把你的重擔卸給耶和華，他必扶持你；他永遠不會讓義人動搖。

²²Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

²³　神啊！你必使惡人墮入滅亡的深坑裡；流人血和行詭詐的人必活不到半世；至於我，我必倚靠你。

²³But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
