詩篇十七:祢護我如護眼中的瞳人|Psalm 17:Keep me as the light of your eyes

求你保護我，如同保護眼中的瞳人；將我隱藏在你翅膀的蔭下

Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings

中文

（大衛的祈禱。）

耶和華啊，求你聽聞公義，側耳聽我的呼籲！求你留心聽我這不出於詭詐嘴唇的祈禱！

願我的判語從你面前發出；願你的眼睛觀看公正。

你已經試驗我的心；你在夜間鑒察我；你熬煉我，卻找不著什麼；我立志叫我口中沒有過失。

論到人的行為，我藉著你嘴唇的言語自己謹守，不行強暴人的道路。

我的腳踏定了你的路徑；我的兩腳未曾滑跌。

神啊，我曾求告你，因為你必應允我；求你向我側耳，聽我的言語。

求你顯出你奇妙的慈愛來；你是那用右手拯救投靠你的脫離起來攻擊他們的人。

求你保護我，如同保護眼中的瞳人；將我隱藏在你翅膀的蔭下，

使我脫離那欺壓我的惡人，就是圍困我要害我命的仇敵。

他們的心被脂油包裹；他們用口說驕傲的話。

他們圍困了我們的腳步；他們瞪著眼，要把我們推倒在地。

他像獅子急要抓食，又像少壯獅子蹲伏在暗處。

耶和華啊，求你起來，前去迎敵，將他打倒！用你的刀救護我命脫離惡人。

耶和華啊，求你用手救我脫離世人，脫離那只在今生有福分的世人！你把你的財寶充滿他們的肚腹；他們因有兒女就心滿意足，將其餘的財物留給他們的嬰孩。

至於我，我必在義中見你的面；我醒了的時候，得見（或譯：看）你的形像就心滿意足了。

English (basic)

Let my cause come to your ears, O Lord, give attention to my cry; give ear to my prayer which goes not out from false lips.

Be my judge; for your eyes see what is right.

You have put my heart to the test, searching me in the night; you have put me to the test and seen no evil purpose in me; I will keep my mouth from sin.

As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

I have kept my feet in your ways, my steps have not been turned away.

My cry has gone up to you, for you will give me an answer, O God: let your ear be turned to me, and give attention to my words.

Make clear the wonder of your mercy, O saviour of those who put their faith in your right hand, from those who come out against them.

Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,

From the evil-doers who are violent to me, and from those who are round me, desiring my death.

They are shut up in their fat: with their mouths they say words of pride.

They have made a circle round our steps: their eyes are fixed on us, forcing us down to the earth;

Like a lion desiring its food, and like a young lion waiting in secret places.

Up! Lord, come out against him, make him low, with your sword be my saviour from the evil-doer.

With your hand, O Lord, from men, even men of the world, whose heritage is in this life, and whom you make full with your secret wealth: they are full of children; after their death their offspring take the rest of their goods.

As for me, I will see your face in righteousness: when I am awake it will be joy enough for me to see your form.
