Psalms

大卫的诗，交与伶长。

1神啊，我哀叹的时候，求你听我的声音！ 求你保护我的性命，不受仇敌的惊恐！

2求你把我隐藏， 使我脱离作恶之人的暗谋和作孽之人的扰乱。

3他们磨舌如刀， 发出苦毒的言语，好像比准了的箭，

4要在暗地射完全人； 他们忽然射他，并不惧怕。

5他们彼此勉励设下恶计； 他们商量暗设网罗， 说：谁能看见？

6他们图谋奸恶， 说：我们是极力图谋的。 他们各人的意念心思是深的。

7但 神要射他们； 他们忽然被箭射伤。

8他们必然绊跌，被自己的舌头所害； 凡看见他们的必都摇头。

9众人都要害怕， 要传扬 神的工作， 并且明白他的作为。

10义人必因耶和华欢喜，并要投靠他； 凡心里正直的人都要夸口。

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1Hear, O God, my voice of complaint;preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

2Hide me from the scheming of the wicked,from the mob of workers of iniquity,

3who sharpen their tongues like swordsand aim their bitter words like arrows,

4ambushing the innocent in seclusion,shooting suddenly, without fear.

5They hold fast to their evil purpose;they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

6They devise injustice and say,“We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

7But God will shoot them with arrows;suddenly they will be wounded.

8They will be made to stumble,their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.

9Then all mankind will fearand proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

10Let the righteous rejoice in the LORDand take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
