第五十七章
1 神啊，求你憐憫我，憐憫我！因為我的心投靠你。我要投靠在你
翅膀的蔭下，等到災害過去。
2 我要求告至高的神，就是為我成全諸事的神。
3 那要吞我的人辱罵我的時候，神從天上必施恩救我，也必向我發
出慈愛和誠實。
4 我的性命在獅子中間；我躺臥在性如烈火的世人當中。他們的牙
齒是槍、箭；他們的舌頭是快刀。
5 神啊，願你崇高過於諸天！願你的榮耀高過全地！
6 他們為我的腳設下網羅，壓制我的心。他們在我面前挖了坑，自
己反掉在其中。
7 神啊，我心堅定，我心堅定！我要唱詩，我要歌頌！
8 我的靈啊（註：原文作“榮耀”），你當醒起！琴瑟啊，你們當
醒起！我自己要極早醒起。
9 主啊，我要在萬民中稱謝你，在列邦中歌頌你！
10 因為你的慈愛高及諸天；你的誠實達到穹蒼。
11 神啊，願你崇高過於諸天！願你的榮耀高過全地！

Chapter 57
1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.
2 I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me.
3 He sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who hotly pursue me—
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
4 I am in the midst of lions;
I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
6 They spread a net for my feet—I was bowed down in distress.
They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves.
7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
