西弗人來對掃羅說:「大衛豈不是在我們那裏藏身嗎?」那時,大衛作這訓誨詩。交給聖詠團長,用絲弦的樂器。遭敵迫害求主保護
(撒上23.14-24)
神啊,求你因你的名拯救我,
憑你的大能為我伸冤。 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2神啊,求你听我的祷告, 侧耳听我口中的言语。Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3因为陌生人兴起攻击我, 强横的人寻索我的性命; 他们眼中没有神。(细拉)For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4看哪,神是帮助我的, 主是扶持我性命的,Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5他要报应我仇敌所作的恶; 求你凭你的信实灭绝他们。He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6我要把甘心祭献给你; 耶和华啊,我要颂扬你的名,这名本为美好。I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
7他从一切的急难中把我救出来, 我的眼睛也看见了我的仇敌遭报。For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
