诗篇59:
1(扫罗打发人窥探大卫的房屋,要杀他。那时大卫用这金诗,交与伶长,调用休要毁坏)我的神啊,求你救我脱离仇敌,把我安置在高处,得脱那些起来攻击我的人。
2求你救我脱离作孽的人,和喜爱流人血的人。
3因为他们埋伏,要害我的命,有能力的人聚集来攻击我。耶和华啊,这不是为我的过犯,也不是为我的罪愆。
4我虽然无过,他们预备整齐,跑来攻击我。求你兴起鉴察帮助我。
5万军之神耶和华以色列的神啊,求你兴起,惩治万邦。不要怜悯行诡诈的恶人。(细拉)
6他们晚上转回,叫号如狗,围城绕行。
7他们口中喷吐恶言,嘴里有刀,他们说有谁听见。
8但你耶和华必笑话他们。你要嗤笑万邦。
9我的力量阿,我必仰望你。因为神是我的高台。
10我的神要以慈爱迎接我。神要叫我看见我仇敌遭报。
11不要杀他们,恐怕我的民忘记。主啊,你是我们的盾牌。求你用你的能力使他们四散,且降为卑。
12因他们口中的罪,和嘴里的言语,并咒骂虚谎的话,愿他们在骄傲之中被缠住了。
13求你发怒,使他们消灭,以至归于无有,叫他们知道神在雅各中间掌权,直到地极。(细拉)
14到了晚上,任凭他们转回。任凭他们叫号如狗,围城绕行。
15他们必走来走去,寻找食物。若不得饱,就终夜在外。
16但我要歌颂你的力量,早晨要高唱你的慈爱。因为你作过我的高台。在我急难的日子,作过我的避难所。
17我的力量阿,我要歌颂你。因为神是我的高台,是赐恩与我的神。
1Rescue me from my enemies, O God.Protect me from those who have come to destroy me.
2Rescue me from these criminals;save me from these murderers.
3They have set an ambush for me.Fierce enemies are out there waiting, Lord,though I have not sinned or offended them.
4I have done nothing wrong,yet they prepare to attack me.Wake up! See what is happening and help me!
6They come out at night,snarling like vicious dogsas they prowl the streets.
8But Lord, you laugh at them.You scoff at all the hostile nations.
9You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me,for you, O God, are my fortress.
10In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me.He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.
11Don’t kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons;stagger them with your power, and bring them to their knees,O Lord our shield.
12Because of the sinful things they say,because of the evil that is on their lips,let them be captured by their pride,their curses, and their lies.
13Destroy them in your anger!Wipe them out completely!Then the whole world will knowthat God reigns in Israel.#59:13 Hebrew in Jacob. See note on 44:4. Interlude
14My enemies come out at night,snarling like vicious dogsas they prowl the streets.
16But as for me, I will sing about your power.Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.For you have been my refuge,a place of safety when I am in distress.
17O my Strength, to you I sing praises,for you, O God, are my refuge,the God who shows me unfailing love.
