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。

1Be merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;
all day long they press their attack.
2My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride many are attacking me.
3When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
5All day long they twist my words;
all their schemes are for my ruin.
6They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps,
hoping to take my life.
7Because of their wickedness do not56:7 Probable reading of the original Hebrew text; Masoretic Text does not have do not. let them escape;
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
8Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll56:8 Or misery; / put my tears in your wineskin—
are they not in your record?
9Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.
10In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise—
11in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to me?
12I am under vows to you, my God;
I will present my thank offerings to you.
13For you have delivered me from death
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
