1Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
1大衛的詩。耶和華啊！與我相爭的，求你與他們相爭；與我作戰的，求你與他們作戰。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題）
2Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
2求你緊握大小的盾牌，起來幫助我。
3Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
3拔出矛槍戰斧，迎擊那些追趕我的；求你對我說：“我是你的拯救。”
4Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
4願那些尋索我命的，蒙羞受辱；願設計陷害我的，退後羞愧。
5Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
5願他們像風前的糠秕，有耶和華的使者驅逐他們。
6Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
6願他們的路又暗又滑，有耶和華的使者追趕他們。
7For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
7因為他們無故為我暗設網羅，無故挖坑要陷害我的性命。
8Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
8願毀滅在不知不覺間臨到他身上，願他暗設的網羅纏住自己，願他落在其中遭毀滅。
9And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
9我的心必因耶和華快樂，因他的救恩高興。
10All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
10我全身的骨頭都要說：“耶和華啊！有誰像你呢？你搭救困苦的人，脫離那些比他強盛的；搭救困苦和窮乏的人，脫離那些搶奪他的。”
11False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
11強暴的見證人起來，盤問我所不知道的事。
12They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
12他們對我以惡報善，使我孤苦無依。
13But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
13至於我，他們有病的時候，我就穿上麻衣，禁食刻苦己心；我心裡也不住地禱告（“我心裡也不住地禱告”原文作“我的禱告都回到自己的懷中”）。
14I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
14我往來奔走，看他們像自己的朋友兄弟；我哀痛屈身，如同哀悼母親。
15But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
15但我跌倒的時候，他們竟聚集一起歡慶；我素不相識的聚集一起攻擊我，他們不住地欺凌我。
16With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
16他們以最粗鄙的話譏笑我（本句按照《馬索拉抄本》應作“他們好像筵席上狂妄的譏笑者”；現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯），向我咬牙切齒。
17Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
17主啊！你還要看多久？求你救我的性命脫離他們的殘害，救我的生命脫離少壯獅子。
18I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
18我要在大會中稱謝你，我要在眾民中讚美你。
19Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
19求你不容那些無理與我為敵的，向我誇耀；不讓那些無故恨我的，向我擠眼。
20For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
20因為他們不說和睦的話，卻計劃詭詐的事，陷害世上的安靜人。
21Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
21他們張大嘴巴攻擊我，說：“啊哈！啊哈！我們親眼看見了。”
22This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
22耶和華啊！你已經看見了，求你不要緘默；主啊！求你不要遠離我。
23Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
23我的 神，我的主啊！求你激動醒起，為我伸冤辯護。
24Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
24耶和華我的 神啊！求你按著你的公義判斷我，不容他們向我誇耀。
25Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
25不要讓他們心裡說：“啊哈！這正是我們的心願！”不要讓他們說：“我們把他吞下去了！”
26Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
26願那些喜歡我遭難的，一同蒙羞抱愧；願那些對我妄自尊大的，都披上慚愧和恥辱。
27Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
27願那些喜悅我冤屈昭雪的，都歡呼快樂；願他們不住地說：“要尊耶和華為大，他喜悅他的僕人平安。”
28And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
28我的舌頭要述說你的公義，終日讚美你。
