1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
1大衛的訓誨詩,交給詩班長,用絲弦的樂器伴奏,是在西弗人去對掃羅說:“大衛不是在我們中間躲藏嗎?”以後作的。(本篇細字標題在《馬索拉抄本》為54:1~2) 神啊!求你因你的名拯救我,求你以你的大能為我伸冤。
2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
2 神啊!求你垂聽我的禱告,留心聽我口中的言語。
3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
3因為傲慢的人(“傲慢的人”有古抄本作“外族人”)起來攻擊我,強橫的人尋索我的性命;他們不把 神放在眼裡。(細拉)
4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
4看哪! 神是我的幫助;主是扶持我性命的。
5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
5願災禍報應在我仇敵的身上;願你因你的信實消滅他們。
6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
6我要甘心情願獻祭給你;耶和華啊!我必稱讚你的名,因你的名是美好的。
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
7他救我脫離了一切患難;我親眼看見了我的仇敵滅亡。
