64:1 (大衛的詩,交與伶長。)上帝啊,我哀歎的時候,求你聽我的聲音!求你保護我的性命,不受仇敵的驚恐!
64:2 求你把我隱藏,使我脫離作惡之人的暗謀和作孽之人的擾亂。
64:3 他們磨舌如刀,發出苦毒的言語,好像比準了的箭,
64:4 要在暗地射完全人;他們忽然射他,並不懼怕。
64:5 他們彼此勉勵設下惡計;他們商量暗設網羅,說:誰能看見?
64:6 他們圖謀奸惡,說:我們是極力圖謀的。他們各人的意念心思是深的。
64:7 但上帝要射他們;他們忽然被箭射傷。
64:8 他們必然絆跌,被自己的舌頭所害;凡看見他們的必都搖頭。
64:9 眾人都要害怕,要傳揚上帝的工作,並且明白他的作為。
64:10 義人必因耶和華歡喜,並要投靠他;凡心裡正直的人都要誇口。

For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 Hear
me, my God, as I voice my complaint;
protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2 Hide
me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
from the plots of evildoers.
3 They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent;
they shoot suddenly, without fear.
from the plots of evildoers.
3 They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent;
they shoot suddenly, without fear.
5 They
encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, “Who will see it[b]?”
6 They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, “Who will see it[b]?”
6 They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
7 But
God will shoot them with his arrows;
they will suddenly be struck down.
8 He will turn their own tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9 All people will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.
they will suddenly be struck down.
8 He will turn their own tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9 All people will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.
10 The
righteous will rejoice in the Lord
and take refuge in him;
all the upright in heart will glory in him!
and take refuge in him;
all the upright in heart will glory in him!

在人世間的生活中,常常有許多被欺壓的事件發生,正如詩人一開始向上帝祈求:「當我發出抱怨的時候,我的上帝求祢聽我的聲音;仇敵虐待我的時候,保護我的性命!」
雖然上帝是高高作在天上,但是他也處理我們所發生的事情,人世間的事情也在上帝的掌握之中,正如詩人在此論到:惡人作惡,已為上帝不會注意,更不會出手理會,因此就胡作非為!
然而上帝是會出手的,而且會超乎人的想像!正如詩人也說:「但上帝要射他們;他們忽然被箭射傷。他們必然絆跌,被自己的舌頭所害;凡看見他們的必都搖頭。眾人都要害怕,要傳揚上帝的工作,並且明白他的作為。」
可見上帝是會報應惡者,而且是出其不備之時,讓他們措手不及,結果一敗塗地,沒有機會挽回了!因此,我們要以此為戒,不要自以為是,讓自己陷入上帝攻擊的景況!
我們要如何避免呢﹖當然要使自己被上帝稱為義人,因為「義人必因耶和華歡喜,並要投靠他;凡心裡正直的人都要誇口」!也因為這樣,我們必須要信靠主耶穌成為被上帝稱為義的人!而這樣的義人,更是被上帝接納為兒女,可以承受上帝的國,是多麼有福的!
