Psalms 44

1 For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.

1 上帝啊， 我们亲耳听过祖先讲述你在古时， 在我们祖先时代的作为。

2 With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.

2 你亲手赶出外族， 把我们的祖先安置在那里； 你击溃列邦， 使我们的祖先兴旺发达。

3 For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

3 他们不是靠自己的刀剑征服那里， 不是靠自己的臂膀得胜， 而是靠你的右手、你的臂膀和你的容光， 因为你爱他们。

4 You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.

4 你是我的君王，我的上帝； 你命定雅各得胜。

5 Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.

5 我们靠你击退敌人， 靠你的名践踏仇敌。

6 For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.

6 我不倚靠我的弓， 我的剑不能使我得胜。

7 For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.

7 只有你救我们脱离敌人， 使我们的仇敌蒙羞。

8 In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever. Selah

8 我们终日凭上帝夸耀， 我们永远赞美你的名。（细拉）

9 But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.

9 现在你却丢弃我们，让我们受辱， 不再同我们的军队出战。

10 You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.

10 你使我们在仇敌面前败退， 遭敌人掳掠。

11 You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.

11 你使我们如被宰杀的羊， 将我们分散在列国。

12 You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.

12 你把我们廉价卖掉， 并未从买卖中获利。

13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.

13 你使我们遭四邻辱骂， 被周围人讥讽、嘲笑。

14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.

14 你使我们成为列国的笑柄， 列邦对我们连连摇头。

15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,

15 我终日受辱，满脸尽是耻辱，

16 at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.

16 因为咒骂和毁谤我的人讥笑我， 仇敌报复我。

17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.

17 虽然这一切临到我们身上， 我们却没有忘记你， 也没有违背你的约。

18 Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.

18 我们对你没有异心， 也没有偏离你的道路。

19 But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.

19 你在豺狼出没的地方压碎我们， 使死亡的阴影笼罩我们。

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

20 倘若我们忘记我们上帝的名， 或举手向外邦的神明祷告，

21 would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?

21 上帝难道察觉不到吗？ 祂洞悉人心中的秘密。

22 Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

22 为了你，我们终日出生入死， 被视为待宰的羊。

23 Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.

23 主啊，求你醒来， 你为何沉睡？ 求你起来，不要永远丢弃我们。

24 Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?

24 你为何掩面不理我们， 忘记我们所受的苦难和压迫？

25 For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.

25 我们仆倒在地，横卧在尘土中。

26 Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.

26 求你起来帮助我们， 因你的慈爱而救赎我们。
