Psalms 31

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.

1 耶和华啊，我投靠你， 求你让我永不蒙羞； 求你凭公义搭救我。

2 Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.

2 求你侧耳听我的呼求， 快来救我，作我避难的磐石， 作拯救我的堡垒。

3 For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.

3 因为你是我的磐石，我的堡垒， 求你为了自己的名而引导我， 带领我。

4 You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.

4 你是我的避难所， 求你救我脱离人们为我设下的陷阱。

5 Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.

5 我将我的灵魂交在你手中。 信实的上帝耶和华啊， 你必救赎我。

6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.

6 我憎恨拜假神的人， 我只信靠耶和华。

7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.

7 你已经看见我的困苦， 知道我心中的愁烦， 我因你的恩慈而欢喜快乐。

8 You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.

8 你没有将我交在仇敌手中， 你使我双脚站在宽阔之地。

9 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.

9 耶和华啊，我落在苦难之中， 求你怜悯我， 愁苦令我眼目昏聩，身心疲惫。

10 For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.

10 我的生命被愁苦吞噬， 岁月被哀伤耗尽， 力量因罪恶而消逝， 我成了枯骨一堆。

11 Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends—they flee when they see me on the street.

11 仇敌羞辱我， 邻居厌弃我， 朋友害怕我， 路人纷纷躲避我。

12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.

12 我被人遗忘，就像已死之人， 又像破碎的陶器。

13 For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.

13 我听见许多人窃窃私语， 恐怖四下弥漫。 他们图谋不轨， 谋害我的性命。

14 But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”

14 然而，耶和华啊， 我依然信靠你； 我说：“你是我的上帝。”

15 My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.

15 我的时日都掌握在你手中， 求你救我脱离仇敌和追逼我的人。

16 Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.

16 求你以容光照耀仆人， 施慈爱拯救我。

17 O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol.

17 耶和华啊，我曾向你呼求， 求你不要叫我蒙羞。 求你使恶人蒙羞， 在阴间寂然无声。

18 May lying lips be silenced—lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.

18 愿撒谎之人哑声， 他们骄傲自大， 狂言攻击义人。

19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!

19 你的恩惠何其大， 是为敬畏你的人预备的， 在世人面前赐给投靠你的人。

20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.

20 你把他们藏在你那里， 使他们得到庇护， 免遭世人暗算。 你使他们躲在避难所， 免受恶言恶语的攻击。

21 Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.

21 耶和华当受称颂！ 因为我被困城中时， 祂以奇妙的爱待我。

22 In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.

22 我曾惊恐地说： “我从你面前被弃绝！” 其实我求助的时候， 你听了我的呼求。

23 Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.

23 耶和华忠心的子民啊， 你们要爱祂。 祂保护忠心的人， 严惩骄傲的人。

24 Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.

24 凡等候耶和华的人啊， 要刚强壮胆！
