1
Ps 56:1-13.
繁體中文
Original en inglés
Ps 56:1-13.
Upon Jonath-elem-rechokim--literally, "upon the dove of silence" of distant places; either denoting a melody (see on
Ps 9:1)
of that name, to which this Psalm was to be performed; or it is an enigmatical form of denoting the subject, as given in the history referred to
(1Sa 21:11,
&c.), David being regarded as an uncomplaining, meek dove, driven from his native home to wander in exile. Beset by domestic and foreign foes, David appeals confidently to God, recites his complaints, and closes with joyful and assured anticipations of God's continued help.
1, 2. would swallow--literally, "pants as a raging beast"
(Ac 9:1).
2
Sin título
繁體中文
2. 仇敵——窺探者
（詩 54:5）。
至高者——由於此詞別處未絕對地用於神，有人將此處譯為傲慢地，或驕傲地，作為「那些爭鬥的人」等的修飾語。
Original en inglés
2. enemies--watchers
(Ps 54:5).
most High--As it is not elsewhere used absolutely for God, some render the word here, arrogantly, or proudly, as qualifying "those who fight," &c.
3
Sin título
繁體中文
3. 在——或按字面作「向」。
你——他在患難中所轉向的那位。
Original en inglés
3. in--or literally, "unto."
thee--to whom he turns in trouble.
4
Sin título
繁體中文
4. 在神……他的話——靠祂的恩典或幫助
（Ps 60:12; 108:13），
或作「我要因神的話誇口」；無論何者，祂的話都是讚美特別的主題與緣由。
血氣——指世人
（Ps 65:2； Isa 31:3），
暗示其脆弱。
Original en inglés
4. in God . . . his word--By His grace or aid
(Ps 60:12; 108:13),
or, "I will boast in God as to His word"; in either case His word is the special matter and cause of praise.
flesh--for mankind
(Ps 65:2; Isa 31:3),
intimating frailty.
5
Sin título
繁體中文
5, 6. 對惡意仇敵行徑的生動描繪。
Original en inglés
5, 6. A vivid picture of the conduct of malicious enemies.
7
Sin título
繁體中文
7. 他們豈能逃脫等——更宜作「他們的逃脫是因罪孽。」
摔下……萬民——降卑那些如此驕傲地反對你僕人的人。
Original en inglés
7. Shall they escape? &c.--or better, "Their escape is by iniquity."
cast . . . people--humble those who so proudly oppose Thy servant.
8
Sin título
繁體中文
8. 神記念他的流亡，也記念他的眼淚。某些東方民族有將哀哭者的眼淚裝瓶作為紀念的習俗，或許能解釋這比喻。
Original en inglés
8. God is mindful of his exile and remembers his tears. The custom of bottling the tears of mourners as a memorial, which has existed in some Eastern nations, may explain the figure.
9
Sin título
繁體中文
9. 神是幫助我的——或作「在我這一邊」
（Ps 118:6; 124:1, 2）； 因此他確知仇敵必被擊退。
Original en inglés
9. God is for me--or, "on my side"
(Ps 118:6; 124:1, 2);
hence he is sure of the repulse of his foes.

13
Sin título
繁體中文
13. 問句隱含肯定的答案，是從過往經歷中得出。
跌倒——如從懸崖墜落。
在神面前——即一生一世住在祂的恩中。
Original en inglés
13. The question implies an affirmative answer, drawn from past experience.
falling--as from a precipice.
before God--in His favor during life.
Ps 56:1-13.
照遠方的無聲鴿——字面作「論遠方靜默的鴿子」；或指一首以此為名的曲調（見
Ps 9:1），
本篇即依此曲調演唱；或是一種隱喻式的表達，指明主題，如所引歷史
(1Sa 21:11
等)所述：大衛被視為一隻不發怨言的溫柔鴿子，被趕離故鄉流亡在外。內憂外患交迫之下，大衛滿懷信心地向神呼求，述說他的苦情，並以喜樂且確信神持續幫助的期待作結。
1, 2. 吞滅——字面作「如猛獸般喘息」
(Ac 9:1)。
