第 64 篇
祈求上帝的保護
大衛作的詩，交給樂長。
1上帝啊，求你傾聽我的苦訴，
求你保護我的性命不受仇敵的威脅。
2求你保護我免遭惡人的謀害，
使我脫離不法之徒。
3他們舌頭鋒利如刀，
言語惡毒如箭穿心。
4他們埋伏起來，
暗箭傷害純全無過的人。
他們突然襲擊，毫無顧忌。
5他們狼狽為奸，
商量暗設網羅，
以為誰也看不見。
6他們圖謀不義之事，
認為策劃得無懈可擊。
人心真是狡猾。
7但上帝必用箭射他們，
將他們突然射倒在地。
8他們必自作自受，
被自己的舌頭所害。
看見的人都嘲笑他們。
9這樣，人人必敬畏上帝，
傳揚祂奇妙的作為，
思想祂所做的事。
10義人必因耶和華而歡欣，
並且投靠祂，
心地正直的人必讚美祂。
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.
