第 56 篇
信靠上帝的祷告
大卫作的诗，交给乐长，调用“远方无声鸽”，大卫在迦特被非利士人抓住时所作。
1上帝啊，求你怜悯我，
因为仇敌攻击我，整日迫害我。
2我的仇敌整日攻击我，
许多人狂妄地迫害我。
3我害怕的时候，
仍要倚靠你。
4我赞美上帝的应许，
我信靠祂，就不惧怕，
区区世人能把我怎样？
5他们整天歪曲我的话，
总是图谋害我。
6他们勾结起来，
暗中监视我的行踪，
伺机害我。
7上帝啊，
不要让这些作恶的人逃脱，
求你在怒中毁灭他们。
8你知道我的哀伤，
你把我的眼泪收在袋中。
我的遭遇都记录在你的册子上。
9我向你求救的时候，
敌人都落荒而逃。
我知道上帝是我的帮助。
10我因上帝的应许而赞美祂，
我因耶和华的应许而赞美祂。
11我信靠上帝，就不惧怕，
区区世人能把我怎样？
12上帝啊，
我要恪守向你发的誓言，
献上感恩祭。
13因为你救我脱离死亡，
使我没有跌倒，
让我可以活在你面前，
沐浴生命之光。
Psalm 56
For the director of music. A miktam of David after the Philistines had captured him in Gath. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oak Trees.”
1Help me, God. Men are chasing me.
All day long they keep attacking me.
2My enemies chase me all day long.
Many proud people are attacking me.
3When I’m afraid,
I put my trust in you.
4I trust in God. I praise his word.
I trust in God. I am not afraid.
What can mere people do to me?
5All day long they twist my words.
They are always making plans to destroy me.
6They get together and hide.
They watch my steps.
They hope to kill me.
7Because they are so evil, make sure you don’t let them escape.
God, bring down the nations in your anger.
8Make a record of my sadness.
List my tears in your book.
Aren’t you making a record of them?
9My enemies will turn back
when I call out to you for help.
Then I will know that God is on my side.
10I trust in God. I praise his word.
I trust in the Lord. I praise his word.
11I trust in God. I am not afraid.
What can mere people do to me?
12God, I have made promises to you.
I will bring my thank offerings to you.
13You have saved me from the darkness of death.
You have kept me from tripping and falling.
Now I can live with you
in the light of life.
