PSALMS 诗篇055

（单词翻译）

PSALM¹ 55
1Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea;
2hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
3at the voice of the enemy, at the stares of the wicked; for they bring down suffering upon me and revile² me in their anger.
4My heart is in anguish³ within me; the terrors of death assail⁴ me.
5Fear and trembling have beset⁵ me; horror has overwhelmed me.
6I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest-
7I would flee far away and stay in the desert; Selah
8I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm."
9Confuse the wicked, O Lord, confound their speech, for I see violence and strife⁶ in the city.
10Day and night they prowl about on its walls; malice⁷ and abuse are within it.
11Destructive forces are at work in the city; threats and lies never leave its streets.
12If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe⁸ were raising himself against me, I could hide from him.
13But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend,
14with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship as we walked with the throng⁹ at the house of God.
15Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the grave, for evil finds lodging¹⁰ among them.
16But I call to God, and the Lord saves me.
17Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress¹¹, and he hears my voice.
18He ransoms¹² me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
19God, who is enthroned forever, will hear them and afflict¹³ them- Selah men who never change their ways and have no fear of God.
20My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant¹⁴.
21His speech is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing¹⁵ than oil, yet they are drawn¹⁶ swords.
22Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
23But you, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of corruption¹⁷; bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you.
