¹大卫的金诗，交给诗班长，调用“休要毁坏”，是在扫罗打发人去窥探大卫的家，要杀死他以后作的。我的　神啊！求你救我脱离我的仇敌，求你把我安放在高处，脱离那些起来攻击我的人。

¹Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

²求你救我脱离作孽的人，救我脱离流人血的人。

²Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

³看哪！他们埋伏要害我的性命；强盛的人聚集起来攻击我；耶和华啊！这不是因我的过犯，也不是因我的罪恶。

³For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

⁴我虽然没有过错，他们还是跑来，预备好攻击我。求你醒来，帮助我，鉴察我。

⁴They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

⁵万军的　神耶和华啊！你是以色列的　神，求你醒来，惩罚万国；求你不要恩待那些背信弃义的恶人。（细拉）

⁵Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

⁶他们每晚都回来，好像狗一样狂吠，环绕着城行走。

⁶They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

⁷看哪！他们口中吐出恶言，他们嘴里吐出利刀，他们心里说：“有谁听见呢？”

⁷Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

⁸但你耶和华必讥笑他们，你必嗤笑万国。

⁸But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

⁹我的力量啊！我要仰望你，　神啊！因为你是我的高台。

⁹Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

¹⁰我的　神必以慈爱迎接我；　神必叫我看见我的仇敌遭报。

¹⁰The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

¹¹不要杀害他们，免得我的人民忘记了；主啊！你是我们的盾牌，求你用你的能力，使他们飘流无定，并且降为卑微。

¹¹Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

¹²因他们口中的罪，因他们嘴里所说的话，愿他们在自己的骄傲中被缠住。因他们所说的是咒骂和欺骗的话，

¹²For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

¹³求你在怒中消灭他们，消灭他们，以致无一幸免，好使他们知道　神在雅各中间掌权，直到地极。（细拉）

¹³Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

¹⁴他们每晚都回来，好像狗一样狂吠，环绕着城行走。

¹⁴And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

¹⁵他们四处飘流，寻找食物；如果得不到饱足，就不断咆哮。

¹⁵Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

¹⁶至于我，我要歌颂你的能力，每天早晨我要向你的慈爱欢呼，因为你作了我的高台，在患难的日子，作了我的避难所。

¹⁶But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

¹⁷我的力量啊！我要向你歌唱；　神啊！你是我的高台，是向我施慈爱的　神。

¹⁷Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
