Psalms

A meditation by David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.

1LORD, my God, I take refuge in you.Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

2lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

3LORD, my God, if I have done this,if there is iniquity in my hands,

4if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me(yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),

5let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;yes, let him tread my life down to the earth,and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

6Arise, LORD, in your anger.Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries.Awake for me. You have commanded judgement.

7Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.

8The LORD administers judgement to the peoples.Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

10My shield is with God,who saves the upright in heart.

11God is a righteous judge,yes, a God who has indignation every day.

12If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword;he has bent and strung his bow.

13He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death.He makes ready his flaming arrows.

14Behold,he travails with iniquity.Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

15He has dug a hole,and has fallen into the pit which he made.

16The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

17I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness,and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

1*Lời than vãn. Của vua Đa-vít hát lên trước ĐỨC CHÚA về vụ tên Cút thuộc chi tộc Ben-gia-min.*

2khỏi tay mọi người đang đuổi bắt,

3mà không người giải thoát.

4nếu tay con đã làm điều bất chính,

5hoặc vô cớ bóc lột quân thù,

6chôn vùi danh dự xuống bùn đen.

7Ngài là Đấng cầm cân nảy mực.

8xin Ngài ngự chốn cao xanh thống trị chúng.

9xin CHÚA xử cho con, vì con công chính và vô tội.

10và cho người công chính được vững vàng.

11Đấng cứu độ những ai có lòng ngay thẳng.

12ngày ngày Chúa đe doạ

13Kẻ ác mài gươm trương nỏ sẵn sàng,

14lấy mũi tên biến thành tên lửa, chính là để hại mình.

15cưu mang điều ác hại, ắt phải sinh ra chuyện gian tà.

16Nó đào hầm đào hố, chính nó lại sa chân.

17gậy ông đập xuống lại dần lưng ông.

18tôi đàn ca mừng danh CHÚA Tối Cao.
