Psalms 71

1 In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.

1 耶和华啊，我投靠你； 求你叫我永不羞愧！

2 In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.

2 求你凭你的公义搭救我，救拔我； 侧耳听我，拯救我！

3 Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.

3 求你作我常住的磐石； 你已经命定要救我， 因为你是我的岩石，我的山寨。

4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.

4 我的 神啊，求你救我脱离恶人的手， 脱离不义和残暴之人的手。

5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.

5 主—耶和华啊，你是我所盼望的； 从我年幼，你是我所倚靠的。

6 I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.

6 我从出母胎被你扶持； 使我出母腹的是你。 我必常常赞美你！

7 I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.

7 许多人以我为怪， 但你是我坚固的避难所。

8 My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.

8 你的赞美，你的荣耀 终日必满了我的口。

9 Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.

9 我年老的时候，求你不要丢弃我！ 我力气衰弱的时候，求你不要离弃我！

10 For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,

10 我的仇敌议论我； 那些窥探要害我命的彼此商议，

11 saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”

11 说： 神已经离弃他； 我们追赶他，捉拿他吧！ 因为没有人搭救。

12 Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.

12 神啊，求你不要远离我！ 我的 神啊，求你速速帮助我！

13 May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.

13 愿那与我性命为敌的，羞愧被灭； 愿那谋害我的，受辱蒙羞。

14 But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.

14 我却要常常盼望， 并要越发赞美你。

15 My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.

15 我的口终日要述说你的公义和你的救恩， 因我不计其数。

16 I will come in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.

16 我要来说主—耶和华大能的事； 我单要提说你的公义。

17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.

17 神啊，自我年幼时，你就教训我； 直到如今，我传扬你奇妙的作为。

18 Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.

18 神啊，我到年老发白的时候， 求你不要离弃我！ 等我将你的能力指示下代， 将你的大能指示后世的人。

19 Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?

19 神啊，你的公义甚高； 行过大事的 神啊，谁能像你！

20 Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.

20 你是叫我们多经历重大急难的， 必使我们复活， 从地的深处救上来。

21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.

21 求你使我越发昌大， 又转来安慰我。

22 So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

22 我的 神啊，我要鼓瑟称赞你， 称赞你的诚实！ 以色列的圣者啊，我要弹琴歌颂你！

23 When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.

23 我歌颂你的时候， 我的嘴唇和你所赎我的灵魂都必欢呼；

24 My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.

24 并且我的舌头必终日讲论你的公义， 因为那些谋害我的人已经蒙羞受辱了。
