求你救我脫離追趕我的人

¹（大衛指著便雅憫人古實的話，向耶和華唱的流離歌。）耶和華─我的　神啊，我投靠你！求你救我脫離一切追趕我的人，將我救拔出來！A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,

²恐怕他們像獅子撕裂我，甚至撕碎，無人搭救。or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

我若行了這事

³耶和華─我的　神啊，我若行了這事，若有罪孽在我手裡，O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,

⁴我若以惡報那與我交好的人─連那無故與我為敵的，我也救了他，if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,

⁵就任憑仇敵追趕我，直到追上，將我的性命踏在地下，使我的榮耀歸於灰塵。（細拉）then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah

求你起來施行審判

⁶耶和華啊，求你在怒中起來，挺身而立，抵擋我敵人的暴怒！求你為我興起！你已經命定施行審判！Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.

⁷願眾民的會環繞你！願你從其上歸於高位！Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.

⁸耶和華向眾民施行審判；耶和華啊，求你按我的公義和我心中的純正判斷我。The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.

⁹願惡人的惡斷絕！願你堅立義人！因為公義的　神察驗人的心腸肺腑。Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.

¹⁰神是我的盾牌；他拯救心裡正直的人。My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

¹¹神是公義的審判者，又是天天向惡人發怒的　神。God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.

惡人掉進自己挖的坑

¹²若有人不回頭，他的刀必磨快，弓必上弦，預備妥當了。If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.

¹³他也預備了殺人的器械；他所射的是火箭。He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.

¹⁴試看惡人因奸惡而劬勞，所懷的是毒害，所生的是虛假。Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.

¹⁵他掘了坑，又挖深了，竟掉在自己所挖的阱裡。He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.

¹⁶他的毒害必臨到他自己的頭上；他的強暴必落到他自己的腦袋上。His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.

¹⁷我要照著耶和華的公義稱謝他，歌頌耶和華至高者的名。I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

你的名在全地何其美

¹（大衛的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。）耶和華─我們的主啊，你的名在全地何其美！你將你的榮耀彰顯於天。For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

²你因敵人的緣故，從嬰孩和吃奶的口中，建立了能力，使仇敵和報仇的閉口無言。From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

⁵你叫他比天使（或譯：　神）微小一點，並賜他榮耀尊貴為冠冕。You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.
