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 神啊，你在古时， 我们列祖的日子所行的事， 我们亲耳听见了； 我们的列祖也给我们述说过。

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

2 你曾用手赶出外邦人， 却栽培了我们列祖； 你苦待列邦， 却叫我们列祖发达。

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 因为他们不是靠自己的刀剑得地土， 也不是靠自己的膀臂得胜， 乃是靠你的右手、你的膀臂， 和你脸上的亮光， 因为你喜悦他们。

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

4 神啊，你是我的王； 求你出令使雅各得胜。

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

5 我们靠你要推倒我们的敌人， 靠你的名要践踏那起来攻击我们的人。

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

6 因为，我必不靠我的弓； 我的刀也不能使我得胜。

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

7 惟你救了我们脱离敌人， 使恨我们的人羞愧。

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

8 我们终日因 神夸耀， 还要永远称谢你的名。 （细拉）

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

9 但如今你丢弃了我们，使我们受辱， 不和我们的军兵同去。

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

10 你使我们向敌人转身退后； 那恨我们的人任意抢夺。

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

11 你使我们当作快要被吃的羊， 把我们分散在列邦中。

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

12 你卖了你的子民也不赚利， 所得的价值并不加添你的资财。

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

13 你使我们受邻国的羞辱， 被四围的人嗤笑讥刺。

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

14 你使我们在列邦中作了笑谈， 使众民向我们摇头。

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

15 我的凌辱终日在我面前， 我脸上的羞愧将我遮蔽，

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

16 都因那辱骂毁谤人的声音， 又因仇敌和报仇人的缘故。

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

17 这都临到我们身上， 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 我们的心没有退后； 我们的脚也没有偏离你的路。

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

19 你在野狗之处压伤我们， 用死荫遮蔽我们。

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

20 倘若我们忘了 神的名， 或向别神举手，

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

21 神岂不鉴察这事吗？ 因为他晓得人心里的隐秘。

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

22 我们为你的缘故终日被杀； 人看我们如将宰的羊。

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

23 主啊，求你睡醒，为何尽睡呢？ 求你兴起，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， 不顾我们所遭的苦难和所受的欺压？

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

25 我们的性命伏于尘土； 我们的肚腹紧贴地面。

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

26 求你起来帮助我们！ 凭你的慈爱救赎我们！
