Psalms 69

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David. Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck.

1 上帝啊，求你救我！ 因為眾水要淹沒我。

2 I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me.

2 我陷在深淤泥中，沒有立腳之地； 我到了深水中，大水漫過我身。

3 I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

3 我因呼求困乏，喉嚨發乾； 我因等候上帝，眼睛失明。

4 Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me—my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay.

4 無故恨我的，比我頭髮還多； 無理與我為仇、要把我剪除的，甚為強盛。 我沒有搶奪的，要叫我償還。

5 You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.

5 上帝啊，我的愚昧，你原知道； 我的罪愆不能隱瞞。

6 May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of Hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.

6 萬軍的主－耶和華啊， 求你叫那等候你的，不要因我蒙羞！ 以色列的上帝啊， 求你叫那尋求你的，不要因我受辱！

7 For I have endured scorn for Your sake, and shame has covered my face.

7 因我為你的緣故受了辱罵， 滿面羞愧。

8 I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,

8 我的弟兄看我為外路人； 我的同胞看我為外邦人。

9 because zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.

9 因我為你的殿心裏焦急，如同火燒， 並且辱罵你人的辱罵都落在我身上。

10 I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.

10 我哭泣，以禁食刻苦我心； 這倒算為我的羞辱。

11 I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them.

11 我拿麻布當衣裳， 就成了他們的笑談。

12 Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards.

12 坐在城門口的談論我； 酒徒也以我為歌曲。

13 But my prayer to You, O LORD, is for a time of favor. In Your abundant loving devotion, O God, answer me with Your sure salvation.

13 但我在悅納的時候向你－耶和華祈禱。 上帝啊，求你按你豐盛的慈愛， 憑你拯救的誠實應允我！

14 Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters.

14 求你搭救我出離淤泥， 不叫我陷在其中； 求你使我脫離那些恨我的人， 使我出離深水。

15 Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.

15 求你不容大水漫過我， 不容深淵吞滅我， 不容坑坎在我以上合口。

16 Answer me, O LORD, for Your loving devotion is good; turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.

16 耶和華啊，求你應允我！ 因為你的慈愛本為美好； 求你按你豐盛的慈悲回轉眷顧我！

17 Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!

17 不要掩面不顧你的僕人； 我是在急難之中，求你速速地應允我！

18 Draw near to my soul and redeem me; ransom me because of my foes.

18 求你親近我，救贖我！ 求你因我的仇敵把我贖回！

19 You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace. All my adversaries are before You.

19 你知道我受的辱罵、欺凌、羞辱； 我的敵人都在你面前。

20 Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.

20 辱罵傷破了我的心， 我又滿了憂愁。 我指望有人體恤，卻沒有一個； 我指望有人安慰，卻找不着一個。

21 They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.

21 他們拿苦膽給我當食物； 我渴了，他們拿醋給我喝。

22 May their table become a snare; may it be a retribution and a trap.

22 願他們的筵席在他們面前變為網羅， 在他們平安的時候變為機檻。

23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.

23 願他們的眼睛昏矇，不得看見； 願你使他們的腰常常戰抖。

24 Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.

24 求你將你的惱恨倒在他們身上， 叫你的烈怒追上他們。

25 May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.

25 願他們的住處變為荒場； 願他們的帳棚無人居住。

26 For they persecute the one You struck and recount the pain of those You wounded.

26 因為，你所擊打的，他們就逼迫； 你所擊傷的，他們戲說他的愁苦。

27 Add iniquity to their iniquity; let them not share in Your righteousness.

27 願你在他們的罪上加罪， 不容他們在你面前稱義。

28 May they be blotted out of the Book of Life and not listed with the righteous.

28 願他們從生命冊上被塗抹， 不得記錄在義人之中。

29 But I am in pain and distress; let Your salvation protect me, O God.

29 但我是困苦憂傷的； 上帝啊，願你的救恩將我安置在高處。

30 I will praise God’s name in song and exalt Him with thanksgiving.

30 我要以詩歌讚美上帝的名， 以感謝稱他為大！

31 And this will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves.

31 這便叫耶和華喜悅，勝似獻牛， 或是獻有角有蹄的公牛。

32 The humble will see and rejoice. You who seek God, let your hearts be revived!

32 謙卑的人看見了就喜樂； 尋求上帝的人，願你們的心甦醒。

33 For the LORD listens to the needy and does not despise His captive people.

33 因為耶和華聽了窮乏人， 不藐視被囚的人。

34 Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.

34 願天和地、 洋海和其中一切的動物都讚美他！

35 For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it.

35 因為上帝要拯救錫安，建造猶大的城邑； 他的民要在那裏居住，得以為業。

36 The descendants of His servants will inherit it, and those who love His name will settle in it.

36 他僕人的後裔要承受為業； 愛他名的人也要住在其中。
