大衛的詩。交給聖詠團長。求主保護
神啊，我哀嘆的時候，求你聽我的聲音！
求你保護我的性命，不受仇敵的驚嚇！ Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2求你把我隐藏， 使我脱离作恶之人的暗谋， 脱离作孽之人的扰乱。Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3他们磨舌如刀， 发出苦毒的言语，好像瞄准了的箭，Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4要在暗地里射完全人； 他们忽然射他，并不惧怕。That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5他们彼此勉励，设下恶计； 他们商量，暗设圈套， 说：“谁能看见呢？”They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6他们图谋奸恶： “我们完成了精密的策划。” 各人的意念心思是深沉的。They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7但神要用箭射他们， 他们忽然受了伤。But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8他们必然绊跌，被自己的舌头所害； 凡看见他们的都必摇头。So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9众人都要害怕， 要传扬神的工作， 并且明白他的作为。And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10义人必因耶和华欢喜，并要投靠他； 凡心里正直的人都必夸耀。The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
