Psalms 71

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

1 耶和華啊，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 求你憑你的公義搭救我，救拔我； 側耳聽我，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； 你已經命定要救我， 因為你是我的巖石，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 我的上帝啊，求你救我脫離惡人的手， 脫離不義和殘暴之人的手。

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

5 主－耶和華啊，你是我所盼望的； 從我年幼，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 我從出母胎被你扶持； 使我出母腹的是你。 我必常常讚美你！

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

7 許多人以我為怪， 但你是我堅固的避難所。

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

8 你的讚美，你的榮耀 終日必滿了我的口。

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

9 我年老的時候，求你不要丟棄我！ 我力氣衰弱的時候，求你不要離棄我！

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

10 我的仇敵議論我； 那些窺探要害我命的彼此商議，

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

11 說：上帝已經離棄他； 我們追趕他，捉拿他吧！ 因為沒有人搭救。

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

12 上帝啊，求你不要遠離我！ 我的上帝啊，求你速速幫助我！

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

13 願那與我性命為敵的，羞愧被滅； 願那謀害我的，受辱蒙羞。

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

14 我卻要常常盼望， 並要越發讚美你。

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

15 我的口終日要述說你的公義和你的救恩， 因我不計其數。

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

16 我要來說主－耶和華大能的事； 我單要提說你的公義。

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

17 上帝啊，自我年幼時，你就教訓我； 直到如今，我傳揚你奇妙的作為。

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 上帝啊，我到年老髮白的時候， 求你不要離棄我！ 等我將你的能力指示下代， 將你的大能指示後世的人。

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

19 上帝啊，你的公義甚高； 行過大事的上帝啊，誰能像你！

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 你是叫我們多經歷重大急難的， 必使我們復活， 從地的深處救上來。

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

21 求你使我越發昌大， 又轉來安慰我。

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 我的上帝啊，我要鼓瑟稱讚你， 稱讚你的誠實！ 以色列的聖者啊，我要彈琴歌頌你！

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

23 我歌頌你的時候， 我的嘴唇和你所贖我的靈魂都必歡呼；

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

24 並且我的舌頭必終日講論你的公義， 因為那些謀害我的人已經蒙羞受辱了。
