祈求保佑　
　　我的上帝啊，求你救我脱离仇敌；
　　求你保护我脱离攻击我的人。
　　求你救我脱离作恶的人，
　　使我摆脱杀人犯的手。
　　看吧，他们埋伏要攻击我；
　　残暴的人结伙跟我作对。
　　这并不是因为我有过犯，
　　也不是我犯了什么罪。
　　上主啊，他们大张声势而来，
　　并不是因为我犯了过错。
　　上主──万军的统帅上帝啊，起来帮助我！
　　以色列的上帝啊，求你亲自鉴察！
　　求你起来惩罚列邦；
　　不要向作恶的叛徒显示仁慈。
　　他们晚上回来，像野狗狂吠，
　　在城里荡来荡去。
　　听他们的侮辱恐吓吧。
　　他们的舌头像口中的利剑，
　　还以为没有人听见他们呢！
　　但上主啊，你嘲笑他们；
　　你讥讽列国。
　　我要倚靠你的大能；
　　上帝啊，你是我的避难所。
　　我的上帝爱我，要来帮助我；
　　他要让我看见仇敌的溃败。
　　上帝啊，你不杀灭他们吗？
　　这样，我的人民才不会遗忘。
　　主啊，你是我们的保护者；
　　求你用你的力量赶散他们，摧毁他们。
　　他们的嘴巴沾满罪恶，唇舌全是罪孽；
　　愿他们被自己的骄傲绊倒。
　　因为他们咒骂，欺骗，
　　求你向他们发怒，消灭他们；
　　求你彻底毁灭他们。
　　这样，万民都会知道上帝治理以色列；
　　他的统治遍及全地。
　　我的仇敌晚上回来，像野狗狂吠，
　　在城里荡来荡去，
　　像野狗到处游荡，寻找食物，
　　没有吃饱便咆哮不已。
　　但我要歌颂你的力量；
　　每天早晨我要高唱你永恒的爱。
　　你一向是我的避难所；
　　你是我患难中的庇护。
　　我的保护者啊，我要颂赞你；
　　上帝是我的避难所，是爱我的上帝。

　　A Prayer for Safety　
　　Save me from my enemies, my God;
　　protect me from those who attack me!
　　Save me from those evil people;
　　rescue me from those murderers!
　　Look! They are waiting to kill me;
　　cruel people are gathering against me.
　　It is not because of any sin or wrong I have done,
　　nor because of any fault of mine, O LORD,
　　that they hurry to their places.
　　Rise, LORD God Almighty, and come to my aid;
　　see for yourself, God of Israel!
　　Wake up and punish the heathen;
　　show no mercy to evil traitors!
　　They come back in the evening,
　　snarling like dogs as they go about the city.
　　Listen to their insults and threats.
　　Their tongues are like swords in their mouths,
　　yet they think that no one hears them.
　　But you laugh at them, LORD;
　　you mock all the heathen.
　　I have confidence in your strength;
　　you are my refuge, O God.
　　My God loves me and will come to me;
　　he will let me see my enemies defeated.
　　Do not kill them, O God, or my people may forget.
　　Scatter them by your strength and defeat them,
　　O Lord, our protector.
　　Sin is on their lips; all their words are sinful;
　　may they be caught in their pride!
　　Because they curse and lie,
　　destroy them in your anger;
　　destroy them completely.
　　Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel,
　　that his rule extends over all the earth.
　　My enemies come back in the evening,
　　snarling like dogs as they go about the city,
　　like dogs roaming about for food
　　and growling if they do not find enough.
　　But I will sing about your strength;
　　every morning I will sing aloud of your constant love.
　　You have been a refuge for me,
　　a shelter in my time of trouble.
　　I will praise you, my defender.
　　My refuge is God,
　　the God who loves me.
