詩篇 71
1 耶和華啊，我投靠你； 求你叫我永不羞愧！
In you, Yahweh, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2 求你憑你的公義搭救我，救拔我； 側耳聽我，拯救我！
Rescue me and make me safe in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me.
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。
Be to me a rock for refuge where I may always go; you have given a command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
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。
Rescue me, my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel.
5 主－耶和華啊，你是我所盼望的； 從我年幼，你是我所倚靠的。
For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh. I have trusted in you ever since I was a child.
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！
By you I have been supported from the womb; you are he who took me out of my mother's belly; my praise will be always about you.
7 許多人以我為怪， 但你是我堅固的避難所。
I am an example to many people; you are my strong refuge.
8 你的讚美，你的榮耀 終日必滿了我的口。
My mouth will be filled with your praise, all the day with your honor.
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！
Do not throw me away in my time of old age; do not abandon me when my strength fails.
10 我的仇敵議論我； 那些窺探要害我命的彼此商議，
For my enemies are talking about me; those who watch for my life are plotting together.
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。
They say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and take him, for there is no one to save him.”
12 上帝啊，求你不要遠離我！ 我的上帝啊，求你速速幫助我！
God, do not be far from me; my God, hurry to help me.
13 願那與我性命為敵的，羞愧被滅； 願那謀害我的，受辱蒙羞。
Let them be put to shame and destroyed, those who are hostile to my life; let them be covered with rebuke and dishonor, those who seek my hurt.
14 我卻要常常盼望， 並要越發讚美你。
But I will always hope in you and will praise you more and more.
15 我的口終日要述說你的公義和你的救恩， 因我不計其數。
My mouth will tell about your righteousness and your salvation all the day, although I cannot understand it.
16 我要來說主－耶和華大能的事； 我單要提說你的公義。
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh; I will make mention of your righteousness, yours alone.
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。
God, you have taught me from my youth; even now I declare your wonderful deeds.
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。
Indeed, even when I am old and gray-headed, God, do not forsake me, as I have been declaring your strength to the next generation, your power to everyone who is to come.
19 上帝啊，你的公義甚高； 行過大事的上帝啊，誰能像你！
Your righteousness also, God, is very high; you who have done great things, God, who is like you?
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。
You who made me see many troubles will revive us again and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21 求你使我越發昌大， 又轉來安慰我。
May you increase my honor; turn again and comfort me.
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！
I will also give thanks to you with the harp for your trustworthiness, my God; to you I will sing praises with the harp, Holy One of Israel.
23 我歌頌你的時候， 我的嘴唇和你所贖我的靈魂都必歡呼；
My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to you— even my soul, which you have redeemed.
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。
My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long; for they have been put to shame and are confused, those who sought my hurt.
