Capítulo 55

¹For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.

¹（大衛的訓誨詩，交與伶長。用絲弦的樂器。）神啊，求你留心聽我的禱告，不要隱藏不聽我的懇求！

²Give heed to me and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and am surely distracted,

²求你側耳聽我，應允我。我哀歎不安，發聲唉哼，

³Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the pressure of the wicked; For they bring down trouble upon me And in anger they bear a grudge against me.

³都因仇敵的聲音，惡人的欺壓；因為他們將罪孽加在我身上，發怒氣逼迫我。

⁴My heart is in anguish within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

⁴我心在我裡面甚是疼痛；死的驚惶臨到我身。

⁵Fear and trembling come upon me, And horror has overwhelmed me.

⁵恐懼戰兢歸到我身；驚恐漫過了我。

⁶I said, 'Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

⁶我說：但願我有翅膀像鴿子，我就飛去，得享安息。

⁷'Behold, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah.

⁷我必遠遊，宿在曠野。（細拉）

⁸'I would hasten to my place of refuge From the stormy wind [and] tempest.'

⁸我必速速逃到避所，脫離狂風暴雨。

⁹Confuse, O Lord, divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

⁹主啊，求你吞滅他們，變亂他們的舌頭！因為我在城中見了強暴爭競的事。

¹⁰Day and night they go around her upon her walls, And iniquity and mischief are in her midst.

¹⁰他們在城牆上晝夜繞行；在城內也有罪孽和奸惡。

¹¹Destruction is in her midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets.

¹¹邪惡在其中；欺壓和詭詐不離街市。

¹²For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, Then I could bear [it]; Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him.

¹²原來不是仇敵辱罵我，若是仇敵，還可忍耐；也不是恨我的人向我狂大，若是恨我的人就必躲避他。

¹³But it is you, a man my equal, My companion and my familiar friend;

¹³不料是你；你原與我平等，是我的同伴，是我知己的朋友！

¹⁴We who had sweet fellowship together Walked in the house of God in the throng.

¹⁴我們素常彼此談論，以為甘甜；我們與群眾在神的殿中同行。

¹⁵Let death come deceitfully upon them; Let them go down alive to Sheol, For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.

¹⁵願死亡忽然臨到他們！願他們活活地下入陰間！因為他們的住處，他們的心中，都是邪惡。

¹⁶As for me, I shall call upon God, And the LORD will save me.

¹⁶至於我，我要求告神；耶和華必拯救我。

¹⁷Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur, And He will hear my voice.

¹⁷我要晚上、早晨、晌午哀聲悲歎；他也必聽我的聲音。

¹⁸He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle [which is] against me, For they are many [who strive] with me.

¹⁸他救贖我命脫離攻擊我的人，使我得享平安，因為與我相爭的人甚多。

¹⁹God will hear and answer them-- Even the one who sits enthroned from of old-- Selah. With whom there is no change, And who do not fear God.

¹⁹那沒有更變、不敬畏神的人，從太古常存的　神必聽見而苦待他。

²⁰He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has violated his covenant.

²⁰他背了約，伸手攻擊與他和好的人。

²¹His speech was smoother than butter, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.

²¹他的口如奶油光滑，他的心卻懷著爭戰；他的話比油柔和，其實是拔出來的刀。

²²Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

²²你要把你的重擔卸給耶和華，他必撫養你；他永不叫義人動搖。

²³But You, O God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

²³神啊，你必使惡人下入滅亡的坑；流人血、行詭詐的人必活不到半世，但我要倚靠你。
