1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
1大衛的詩,交給詩班長。 神啊!我哀訴的時候,求你垂聽我的聲音;求你保護我的性命,脫離仇敵的恐嚇。
2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
2求你把我隱藏,使我脫離惡人的陰謀,脫離作孽的人的擾亂。
3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
3他們磨快自己的舌頭,如同刀劍;他們吐出惡毒的言語,好像利箭,
4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
4要在暗地裡射殺完全的人;他們忽然射殺他,毫不懼怕。
5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
5他們彼此鼓勵,設下惡計,商議暗設網羅,說:“誰能看見它們呢?”
6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
6他們圖謀奸惡,說:“我們設計了最精密的陰謀!”人的意念和心思實在深不可測。
7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
7但 神要用箭射他們,他們必忽然受傷。
8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
8他們各人反被自己的舌頭所害,必然跌倒;所有看見他們的,都必搖頭。
9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
9眾人都要懼怕,要傳揚 神的作為,並且要思想他所作的事。
10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
10願義人因耶和華歡喜,並且投靠他;願所有心裡正直的人,都因他誇耀。
