¹大卫的诗，交给诗班长。耶和华啊！求你拯救我脱离恶人，求你保护我脱离强暴的人。

¹To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest me.

²他们心中图谋恶事，整天挑启争端。

²Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.

³他们使自己的舌头尖利，如同蛇的舌头；他们嘴里有虺蛇的毒。（细拉）

³They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder [is] under their lips. Selah.

⁴耶和华啊！求你保护我脱离恶人的手，保护我脱离强暴的人，因为他们图谋推倒我。

⁴Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.

⁵骄傲的人暗中布下陷阱害我，他们在路旁张开绳索作网，设下圈套陷害我。（细拉）

⁵The proud hid a snare for me — and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. Selah.

⁶我曾对耶和华说：“你是我的　神；耶和华啊！求你留心听我恳求的声音！”

⁶I have said to Jehovah, `My God [art] Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.`

⁷主耶和华，拯救我的力量啊，在争战的日子，你保护了我的头。

⁷O Jehovah, my Lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of armour.

⁸耶和华啊！求你不要容恶人的心愿得偿，不要使他们的计谋成功，免得他们自高自大。（细拉）

⁸Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. Selah.

⁹至于那些围困我的人，愿他们的头被自己嘴唇的奸恶遮盖。

⁹The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covereth them.

¹⁰愿炭火落在他们身上；愿他们掉在深坑里，不能再起来。

¹⁰They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire He doth cast them, Into deep pits — they arise not.

¹¹愿搬弄是非的人在地上站立不住；愿灾祸连连猎取强暴的人。

¹¹A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence — evil hunteth to overflowing.

¹²我知道耶和华必为困苦人伸冤，必替穷乏人辨屈。

¹²I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.

¹³义人必称赞你的名，正直的人必住在你面前。

¹³Only — the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The upright do dwell with Thy presence!
