Psalms |
| 1達味訓誨歌，交與樂官，和以絃樂。 |
1 For the leader. On stringed instruments. A maskil of David. |
| 2天主，求你側耳傾聽我的祈禱，求你不要迴避我的哀告。 |
2Listen, God, to my prayer; do not hide from my pleading; |
| 3求你俯視我，並垂允我，我痛苦憂傷，嘆息悲號： |
3hear me and give answer. I rock with grief; I groan |
| 4由於仇敵的叫囂，並因惡人的吵鬧，因加於我的災禍，怒中給我的騷擾， |
4at the uproar of the enemy, the clamor of the wicked. They heap trouble upon me, savagely accuse me. |
| 5我的心在我胸內焦灼，死亡的恐怖籠罩了我， |
5My heart pounds within me; death's terrors fall upon me. |
| 6驚懼與戰慄侵襲了我，恐怖與煩惱淹沒了我。 |
6Fear and trembling overwhelm me; shuddering sweeps over me. |
| 7我於是說：「但願我有鴿子般的翅膀，為能飛翔而去，棲身安藏！」 |
7I say, "If only I had wings like a dove that I might fly away and find rest. |
| 8看，我必要逃往遠處，在荒涼的地方暫住；（休止） |
8Far away I would flee; I would stay in the desert. Selah |
| 9從速尋找一個避難所，避過這一場風狂雨暴。 |
9I would soon find a shelter from the raging wind and storm." |
| 10我主，求你分散擾亂他們的語言，因我在城中只見到鬥爭與紛亂： |
10Lord, check and confuse their scheming. I see violence and strife in the city |
| 11他們日夜在城牆上巡行，邪惡與欺壓在城中叢生。 |
11making rounds on its walls day and night. Within are mischief and evil; |
| 12城池中已滿佈詭計，霸道欺詐橫行街市。 |
12treachery is there as well; oppression and fraud never leave its streets. |
| 13若是我的仇人辱罵我，我還可容忍；若是惱恨我者欺凌我，我尚可退隱； |
13If an enemy had reviled me, that I could bear; If my foe had viewed me with contempt, from that I could hide. |
| 14可惜是你，我的同僚，我的伙伴，我的友好； |
14But it was you, my other self, my comrade and friend, |
| 15我們曾經推心置腹，無所諱言，在人群中走進了天主的聖殿。 |
15You, whose company I enjoyed, at whose side I walked in procession in the house of God. |
| 16願死亡突襲他們，活活的墮入陰府！因為他們的居處和內心滿是惡毒。 |
16Let death take them by surprise; let them go down alive to Sheol, for evil is in their homes and hearts. |
| 17但我卻要呼號天主，上主必定予我救助。 |
17But I will call upon God, and the LORD will save me. |
| 18不論在黃昏在清晨或在中午，我哀聲悲嘆，他必聽我的苦訴。 |
18At dusk, dawn, and noon I will grieve and complain, and my prayer will be heard. |
| 19他必從迫害我的人中，救我安然脫險，因為那些反對我的人，實在眾多難算。 |
19God will give me freedom and peace from those who war against me, though there are many who oppose me. |
| 20永遠為王的天主必要俯聽我，而把他們趕走，（休止） 因為他們不知回心轉意，而又不知敬畏天主。 |
20God, who sits enthroned forever, will hear me and humble them. For they will not mend their ways; they have no fear of God. |
| 21他們伸手攻擊自己的友好，他們任意違背訂立的盟約。 |
21They strike out at friends and go back on their promises. |
| 22他們的容貌比奶油更光滑，心卻是好戰；他們的言語比脂粉還柔和，但口蜜腹劍。 |
22Softer than butter is their speech, but war is in their hearts. Smoother than oil are their words, but they are unsheathed swords. |
| 23將你的重擔卸交上主，他必扶持你，他絕對不會讓義人永遠動搖不止。 |
23Cast your care upon the LORD, who will give you support. God will never allow the righteous to stumble. |
| 24天主，求你使他們墮入滅亡的深穴！兇手和奸詐的歹徒必定中年夭折。上主，但我卻要時常一心；惟你是賴。 |
24But you, God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction. These bloodthirsty liars will not live half their days, but I put my trust in you. |
