¹To the Overseer. — `On the Dumb Dove far off.` — A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines` taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

¹大卫的金诗，交给诗班长，调用“远方无声鸽”，是大卫在迦特被非利士人捉住时作的。　神啊！求你恩待我，因为人要践踏我；他们终日攻击我，迫害我。

⁷By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.

⁷愿他们因罪孽的缘故不能逃脱；　神啊！愿你在怒中使这些人败落。

⁸My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou — place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?
