第 64 篇
祈求上帝的保护
大卫作的诗，交给乐长。
1上帝啊，求你倾听我的苦诉，
求你保护我的性命不受仇敌的威胁。
2求你保护我免遭恶人的谋害，
使我脱离不法之徒。
3他们舌头锋利如刀，
言语恶毒如箭穿心。
4他们埋伏起来，
暗箭伤害纯全无过的人。
他们突然袭击，毫无顾忌。
5他们狼狈为奸，
商量暗设网罗，
以为谁也看不见。
6他们图谋不义之事，
认为策划得无懈可击。
人心真是狡猾。
7但上帝必用箭射他们，
将他们突然射倒在地。
8他们必自作自受，
被自己的舌头所害。
看见的人都嘲笑他们。
9这样，人人必敬畏上帝，
传扬祂奇妙的作为，
思想祂所做的事。
10义人必因耶和华而欢欣，
并且投靠祂，
心地正直的人必赞美祂。
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?64.5 matter: or, speech64.5 of…: Heb. to hide his snares
6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.64.6 they…: or, we are consumed by that which they have throughly searched64.6 a diligent…: Heb. a search searched
7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.64.7 shall they…: Heb. their wound shall be
8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
