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； 求你使我永不羞愧； 凭你的公义搭救我！

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

2 求你侧耳而听， 快快救我！ 作我坚固的磐石， 拯救我的保障！

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

3 因为你是我的岩石，我的山寨； 所以，求你为你名的缘故引导我，指点我。

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

4 求你救我脱离人为我暗设的网罗， 因为你是我的保障。

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里； 耶和华诚实的 神啊，你救赎了我。

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

6 我恨恶那信奉虚无之神的人； 我却倚靠耶和华。

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 我要为你的慈爱高兴欢喜； 因为你见过我的困苦，知道我心中的艰难。

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

8 你未曾把我交在仇敌手里； 你使我的脚站在宽阔之处。

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，求你怜恤我， 因为我在急难之中； 我的眼睛因忧愁而干瘪， 连我的身心也不安舒。

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 我的生命为愁苦所消耗； 我的年岁为叹息所旷废。 我的力量因我的罪孽衰败； 我的骨头也枯干。

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 我因一切敌人成了羞辱， 在我的邻舍跟前更甚； 那认识我的都惧怕我， 在外头看见我的都躲避我。

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

12 我被人忘记，如同死人，无人记念； 我好像破碎的器皿。

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 我听见了许多人的谗谤， 四围都是惊吓； 他们一同商议攻击我的时候， 就图谋要害我的性命。

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

14 耶和华啊，我仍旧倚靠你； 我说：你是我的 神。

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

15 我终身的事在你手中； 求你救我脱离仇敌的手和那些逼迫我的人。

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

16 求你使你的脸光照仆人， 凭你的慈爱拯救我。

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，求你叫我不致羞愧， 因为我曾呼吁你； 求你使恶人羞愧， 使他们在阴间缄默无声。

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

18 那撒谎的人逞骄傲轻慢， 出狂妄的话攻击义人； 愿他的嘴哑而无言。

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 敬畏你、投靠你的人，你为他们所积存的， 在世人面前所施行的恩惠是何等大呢！

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 你必把他们藏在你面前的隐密处， 免得遇见人的计谋； 你必暗暗地保守他们在亭子里， 免受口舌的争闹。

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

21 耶和华是应当称颂的， 因为他在坚固城里向我施展奇妙的慈爱。

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 至于我，我曾急促地说： 我从你眼前被隔绝。 然而，我呼求你的时候， 你仍听我恳求的声音。

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

23 耶和华的圣民哪，你们都要爱他！ 耶和华保护诚实人， 足足报应行事骄傲的人。

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

24 凡仰望耶和华的人， 你们都要壮胆，坚固你们的心！
