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。

1To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice, in my meditation, From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,

2Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

3Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow — a bitter word.

4To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.

5They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, 'Who doth look at it?'

6They search out perverse things, 'We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep.

7And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,

8And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.

9And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.

10The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!
