第 57 篇
被圍困中的呼求
大衛作的詩，交給樂長，調用「休要毀壞」。當時他因逃避掃羅躲進了洞裡。
1上帝啊，求你憐憫我，憐憫我，
因為我投靠你。
我要在你翅膀下得到蔭庇，
直到災難結束。
2我向至高的上帝，
向為我成就一切的上帝呼求。
3上帝從天上施助、拯救我，
使迫害我的人蒙羞。
上帝必彰顯祂的慈愛和信實。
4我被獅子包圍，
躺臥在吃人的野獸中。
他們的牙齒是矛和箭，
舌頭是尖刀。
5上帝啊，
願人對你的尊崇超過諸天，
願你的榮耀覆蓋大地。
6我的仇敵設下網羅，
我心中沮喪。
他們在我走的路上挖了陷阱，
自己卻掉了進去。（細拉）
7上帝啊，我心堅定，我心堅定，
我要唱詩讚美你。
8我的心啊，要振奮起來！
琴瑟啊，彈奏吧！
我要喚醒黎明！
9主啊，我要在列邦稱謝你，
在列國歌頌你。
10因為你的慈愛高達諸天，
你的信實廣及穹蒼。
11上帝啊，
願你得到的尊崇超過諸天，
願你的榮耀覆蓋大地。
Psalm 57
For the director of music. A miktam of David when he had run away from Saul into the cave. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.”
1Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me.
I go to you for safety.
I will find safety in the shadow of your wings.
There I will stay until the danger is gone.
2I cry out to God Most High.
I cry out to God, and he shows that I am right.
3He answers from heaven and saves me.
He puts to shame those who chase me.
He shows his love and that he is faithful.
4Men who are like lions are all around me.
I am forced to lie down among people who are like hungry animals.
Their teeth are like spears and arrows.
Their tongues are like sharp swords.
5God, may you be honored above the heavens.
Let your glory be over the whole earth.
6My enemies spread a net to catch me by the feet.
I felt helpless.
They dug a pit in my path.
But they fell into it themselves.
7God, my heart feels secure.
My heart feels secure.
I will sing and make music to you.
8My spirit, wake up!
Harp and lyre, wake up!
I want to sing and make music before the sun rises.
9Lord, I will praise you among the nations.
I will sing about you among the people of the earth.
10Great is your love. It reaches to the heavens.
Your truth reaches to the skies.
11God, may you be honored above the heavens.
Let your glory be over the whole earth.
