Psalms
Chapter 7
1 1 A plaintive song of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, the Benjaminite.
达味有感于本雅明族人雇士的话，向上主唱的流离之歌。
2 LORD my God, in you I take refuge; rescue me; save me from all who pursue me,
上主，我的天主！我一心投奔你；求你助我逃脱一切追逐我的人，求你救拔我；
3 Lest they maul me like lions, tear me to pieces with none to save.
免得有人象狮子一般撕裂我时，无人搭救我。
4 2 LORD my God, if I am at fault in this, if there is guilt on my hands,
上主！如果我真作了这事，我主！在我手中就真有罪！
5 If I have repaid my friend with evil-- I spared even those who hated me without cause—
我若真加害过我的友好，或无故把我的仇敌劫掠；
6 Then let my enemy pursue and overtake me, trample my life to the ground, and leave me dishonored in the dust.Selah
就让敌人追逐我，擒获我，把我的性命践踏在污地，将我的光荣归诸于泥灰。
7 Rise up, LORD, in your anger; rise against the fury of my foes. Wake to judge as you have decreed.
上主，求你震怒奋起，前来克制我仇的暴慢。我的天主，求你醒起助我，施行你定的断案。
8 Have the assembly of the peoples gather about you; sit on your throne high above them,
愿万民聚齐环绕着你。愿你回驾由高处鉴视。
9 O LORD, judge of the nations. Grant me justice, LORD, for I am blameless, free of any guilt.
上主，万民的审判者！上主，请照我的正义，请按我的无罪，护卫我的权利。
10 Bring the malice of the wicked to an end; uphold the innocent, O God of justice, who tries hearts and minds.
公义的天主！惟你洞察肺腑和人心，愿恶人的毒害停止，求你坚固义人！
11 A shield before me is God who saves the honest heart.
天主是我的护盾，给心正的人助阵。
12 God is a just judge, who rebukes in anger every day.
天主是公义的审判者，对怙恶的人终日怒吓。
13 If sinners do not repent, God sharpens his sword, strings and readies the bow,
仇人虽然磨刀擦剑，开弓拉弦准备射箭；
14 Prepares his deadly shafts, makes arrows blazing thunderbolts.
那只是为自己预备死亡的武器，为自己制造带火的箭矢。
15 Sinners conceive iniquity; pregnant with mischief, they give birth to failure.
试看，他既孕恶怀毒，自然就要产生虚无，
16 They open a hole and dig it deep, but fall into the pit they have dug.
他挖掘坑穴，摆布陷阱，势必落在自备的窖中。
17 Their mischief comes back upon themselves; their violence falls on their own heads.
他的凶恶必反转到自己头上，他的横暴必降落在自己顶上。
18 I praise the justice of the LORD; I celebrate the name of the LORD Most High.
我要称谢上主的公道，歌颂至高上主的名号。

Footnotes（注解）
1 [Psalm 7] An individual lament. The psalmist flees to God's presence in the sanctuary for justice and protection (Psalm 7:2-3) and takes an oath that only the innocent can swear (Psalm 7:4-6). The innocent psalmist can thus hope for the just God's protection (Psalm 7:7-14) and be confident that the actions of the wicked will come back upon their own heads (Psalm 7:15-17). The justice of God leads the psalmist to praise (Psalm 7:17)[18].
2 [4] At fault in this: in the accusation the enemies have made against the psalmist.
