| 55:1 | （大卫的训诲诗，交与伶长，用丝弦的乐器）神阿，求你留心听我的祷告。不要隐藏不听我的恳求。 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. | ||
| 55:2 | 求你侧耳听我，应允我。我哀叹不安，发声唉哼。 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; | ||
| 55:3 | 都因仇敌的声音，恶人的欺压。因为他们将罪孽加在我身上，发怒气逼迫我。 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me. | ||
| 55:4 | 我心在我里面甚是疼痛。死的惊惶临到我身。 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. | ||
| 55:5 | 恐惧战兢归到我身，惊恐漫过了我。 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. | ||
| 55:6 | 我说，但愿我有翅膀像鸽子，我就飞去得享安息。 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. | ||
| 55:7 | 我必远游宿在旷野。（细拉） Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah. | ||
| 55:8 | 我必速速逃到避所，脱离狂风暴雨。 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. | ||
| 55:9 | 主阿，求你吞灭他们，变乱他们的舌头。因为我在城中见了强暴争竞的事。 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. | ||
| 55:10 | 他们在城墙上昼夜绕行。在城内也有罪孽和奸恶。 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. | ||
| 55:11 | 邪恶在其中，欺压和诡诈不离街市。 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. | ||
| 55:12 | 原来不是仇敌辱骂我。若是仇敌，还可忍耐。也不是恨我的人向我狂大。若是恨我的人，就必躲避他。 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: | ||
| 55:13 | 不料是你，你原与我平等，是我的同伴，是我知己的朋友。 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. | ||
| 55:14 | 我们素常彼此谈论，以为甘甜。我们与群众在神的殿中同行。 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. | ||
| 55:15 | 愿死亡忽然临到他们。愿他们活活的下入阴间。因为他们的住处，他们的心中，都是邪恶。 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. | ||
| 55:16 | 至于我，我要求告神。耶和华必拯救我。 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. | ||
| 55:17 | 我要晚上，早晨，晌午，哀声悲叹。他也必听我的声音。 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. | ||
| 55:18 | 他救赎我命脱离攻击我的人，使我得享平安。因为与我相争的人甚多。 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me. | ||
| 55:19 | 那没有更变，不敬畏神的人，从太古常存的神，必听见而苦待他。 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. | ||
| 55:20 | 他背了约，伸手攻击与他和好的人。 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant. | ||
| 55:21 | 他的口如奶油光滑，他的心却怀着争战。他的话比油柔和，其实是拔出来的刀。 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. | ||
| 55:22 | 你要把你的重担卸给耶和华，他必抚养你，他永不叫义人动摇。 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. | ||
| 55:23 | 神阿，你必使恶人下入灭亡的坑。流人血行诡诈的人，必活不到半世，但我要倚靠你。 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. | ||
