你已经试验我的心。你在夜间鉴察我。你熬炼我,却找不着什么。我立志叫我口中没有过失。
Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
论到人的行为,我藉着你嘴唇的言语,自己谨守,不行强暴人的道路。
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
神阿,我曾求告你,因为你必应允我。求你向我侧耳,听我的言语。
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
求你保护我,如同保护眼中的瞳人。将我隐藏在你翅膀的荫下,
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
使我脱离那欺压我的恶人,就是围困我,要害我命的仇敌。
From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
他们围困了我们的脚步。他们瞪着眼,要把我们推倒在地。
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
他像狮子急要抓食,又像少壮狮子蹲伏在暗处。
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
耶和华阿,求你起来,前去迎敌,将他打倒。用你的刀救护我命脱离恶人。
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
耶和华阿,求你用手救我脱离世人,脱离那只在今生有福分的世人。你把你的财宝充满他们的肚腹。他们因有儿女就心满意足,将其馀的财物留给他们的婴孩。
From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
设筵满屋,大家相争,不如有块乾饼,大家相安。
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
