Psalms 102

1 A prayer of one who is afflicted, when he grows faint and pours out his lament before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry for help come before You.

1 耶和华啊，求你听我的祷告， 容我的呼求达到你面前！

2 Do not hide Your face from me in my day of distress. Incline Your ear to me; answer me quickly when I call.

2 我在急难的日子，求你向我侧耳； 不要向我掩面！ 我呼求的日子，求你快快应允我！

3 For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like glowing embers.

3 因为，我的年日如烟云消灭； 我的骨头如火把烧着。

4 My heart is afflicted, and withered like grass; I even forget to eat my bread.

4 我的心被伤，如草枯干， 甚至我忘记吃饭。

5 Through my loud groaning my skin hangs on my bones.

5 因我唉哼的声音， 我的肉紧贴骨头。

6 I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.

6 我如同旷野的鹈鹕； 我好像荒场的鸮鸟。

7 I lie awake; I am like a lone bird on a housetop.

7 我警醒不睡； 我像房顶上孤单的麻雀。

8 All day long my enemies taunt me; they ridicule me and curse me.

8 我的仇敌终日辱骂我； 向我猖狂的人指着我赌咒。

9 For I have eaten ashes like bread and mixed my drink with tears

9 我吃过炉灰，如同吃饭； 我所喝的与眼泪搀杂。

10 because of Your indignation and wrath, for You have picked me up and cast me aside.

10 这都因你的恼恨和忿怒； 你把我拾起来，又把我摔下去。

11 My days are like lengthening shadows, and I wither away like grass.

11 我的年日如日影偏斜； 我也如草枯干。

12 But You, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; Your renown endures to all generations.

12 惟你—耶和华必存到永远； 你可记念的名也存到万代。

13 You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show her favor—the appointed time has come.

13 你必起来怜恤锡安， 因现在是可怜她的时候， 日期已经到了。

14 For Your servants delight in her stones and take pity on her dust.

14 你的仆人原来喜悦她的石头， 可怜她的尘土。

15 So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear Your glory.

15 列国要敬畏耶和华的名； 世上诸王都敬畏你的荣耀。

16 For the LORD will rebuild Zion; He has appeared in His glory.

16 因为耶和华建造了锡安， 在他荣耀里显现。

17 He will turn toward the prayer of the destitute; He will not despise their prayer.

17 他垂听穷人的祷告， 并不藐视他们的祈求。

18 Let this be written for the generation to come, so that a people not yet created may praise the LORD.

18 这必为后代的人记下， 将来受造的民要赞美耶和华。

19 For He looked down from the heights of His sanctuary; the LORD gazed out from heaven to earth

19 因为，他从至高的圣所垂看； 耶和华从天向地观察，

20 to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to release those condemned to death,

20 要垂听被囚之人的叹息， 要释放将要死的人，

21 that they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion and praise Him in Jerusalem,

21 使人在锡安传扬耶和华的名， 在耶路撒冷传扬赞美他的话，

22 when peoples and kingdoms assemble to serve the LORD.

22 就是在万民和列国 聚会事奉耶和华的时候。

23 He has broken my strength on the way; He has cut short my days.

23 他使我的力量中道衰弱， 使我的年日短少。

24 I say: “O my God, do not take me in the midst of my days! Your years go on through all generations.

24 我说：我的 神啊， 不要使我中年去世。 你的年数世世无穷！

25 In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

25 你起初立了地的根基； 天也是你手所造的。

26 They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them, and they will be passed on.

26 天地都要灭没，你却要长存； 天地都要如外衣渐渐旧了。 你要将天地如里衣更换， 天地就都改变了。

27 But You remain the same, and Your years will never end.

27 惟有你永不改变； 你的年数没有穷尽。

28 The children of Your servants will dwell securely, and their descendants will be established before You.”

28 你仆人的子孙要长存； 他们的后裔要坚立在你面前。
