第五十六章
1 神啊，求你憐憫我！因為人要把我吞了，終日攻擊欺壓我。
2 我的仇敵終日要把我吞了，因逞驕傲攻擊我的人甚多。
3 我懼怕的時候要倚靠你。
4 我倚靠神，我要讚美他的話；我倚靠神，必不懼怕。血氣之輩能
把我怎麼樣呢？
5 他們終日顛倒我的話，他們一切的心思都是要害我。
6 他們聚集、埋伏，窺探我的腳蹤，等候要害我的命。
7 他們豈能因罪孽逃脫嗎？神啊，求你在怒中使眾民墮落。
8 我幾次流離，你都記數。求你把我眼淚裝在你的皮袋裡，這不都
記在你冊子上嗎？
9 我呼求的日子，我的仇敵都要轉身退後。神幫助我，這是我所知道的。

Chapter 56
1 Be merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;
all day long they press their attack.
2 My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride many are attacking me.
3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words;
all their schemes are for my ruin.
6 They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps,
hoping to take my life.
7 Because of their wickedness do not let them escape;
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
8 Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll—
are they not in your record?
9 Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.
