詩篇 第 7 篇

¹（大衛指著便雅憫人古實的話，向耶和華唱的流離歌。）耶和華─我的神啊，我投靠你！求你救我脫離一切追趕我的人，將我救拔出來！O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

²恐怕他們像獅子撕裂我，甚至撕碎，無人搭救。Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

³耶和華─我的神啊，我若行了這事，若有罪孽在我手裡，O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

⁴我若以惡報那與我交好的人─連那無故與我為敵的，我也救了他，If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

⁵就任憑仇敵追趕我，直到追上，將我的性命踏在地下，使我的榮耀歸於灰塵。（細拉）Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

⁶耶和華啊，求你在怒中起來，挺身而立，抵擋我敵人的暴怒！求你為我興起！你已經命定施行審判！Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

⁷願眾民的會環繞你！願你從其上歸於高位！So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

⁸耶和華向眾民施行審判；耶和華啊，求你按我的公義和我心中的純正判斷我。The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

⁹願惡人的惡斷絕！願你堅立義人！因為公義的神察驗人的心腸肺腑。Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

¹⁰神是我的盾牌；他拯救心裡正直的人。My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

¹¹神是公義的審判者，又是天天向惡人發怒的神。God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

¹²若有人不回頭，他的刀必磨快，弓必上弦，預備妥當了。If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

¹³他也預備了殺人的器械；他所射的是火箭。He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

¹⁴試看惡人因奸惡而劬勞，所懷的是毒害，所生的是虛假。Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

¹⁵他掘了坑，又挖深了，竟掉在自己所挖的阱裡。He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

¹⁶他的毒害必臨到他自己的頭上；他的強暴必落到他自己的腦袋上。His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

¹⁷我要照著耶和華的公義稱謝他，歌頌耶和華至高者的名。I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
