詩篇 31
1 ヱホバよわれ汝によりたのむ 願くはいづれの日までも愧をおはしめたまふなかれ なんぢの義をもてわれを助けたまへ
Unto the end. A Psalm of David according to an ecstasy. In you, Lord, I have hoped; let me never be confounded. In your justice, deliver me.
2 なんぢの耳をかたぶけて速かにわれをすくひたまへ 願くはわがためにかたき磐となり我をすくふ保障の家となりたまへ
Incline your ear to me. Hasten to rescue me. Be for me a protector God and a house of refuge, so as to accomplish my salvation.
3 なんぢはわが磐わが城なり されば名のゆゑをもてわれを引われを導きたまへ
For you are my strength and my refuge; and for the sake of your name, you will lead me and nourish me.
4 なんぢ我をかれらが密かにまうけたる網よりひきいだしたまへ なんぢはわが保砦なり
You will lead me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me. For you are my protector.
5 われ霊魂をなんぢの手にゆだぬ ヱホバまことの神よなんぢはわれを贖ひたまへり
Into your hands, I commend my spirit. You have redeemed me, O Lord, God of truth.
6 われはいつはりの虚きことに心をよする者をにくむ われは獨ヱホバによりたのむなり
You have hated those who practice emptiness to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord.
7 我はなんぢの憐憫をよろこびたのしまん なんぢわが艱難をかへりみ わがたましひの禍害をしり
I will exult and rejoice in your mercy. For you have looked upon my humility; you have saved my soul from needfulness.
8 われを仇の手にとぢこめしめたまはず わが足をひろきところに立たまへばなり
And you have not enclosed me in the hands of the enemy. You have set my feet in a spacious place.
9 われ迫りくるしめり ヱホバよ我をあはれみたまへ わが目はうれひによりておとろふ 霊魂も身もまた衰へぬ
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am troubled. My eye has been disturbed by wrath, along with my soul and my gut.
10 わが生命はかなしみによりて消えゆき わが年華はなげきによりて消ゆけばなり わが力はわが不義によりておとろへ わが骨はかれはてたり
For my life has fallen into sorrow, and my years into sighing. My virtue has been weakened in poverty, and my bones have been disturbed.
11 われもろもろの仇ゆゑにそしらる わが隣にはわけて甚だし相識ものには忌憚られ衢にてわれを見るもの避てのがる
I have become a disgrace among all my enemies, and even more so to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances. Those who catch sight of me, flee away from me.
12 われは死たるもののごとく忘られて人のこころに置れず われはやぶれたる器もののごとくなれり
I have become forgotten, like one dead to the heart. I have become like a damaged utensil.
13 そは我おほくの人のそしりをきい到るところに懼あり かれら我にさからひて互にはかりしが わが生命をさへとらんと企てたり
For I have heard the harsh criticism of many who linger in the area. While assembled together against me in that place, they deliberated on how to take away my life.
14 されどヱホバよわれ汝によりたのめり また汝はわが神なりといへり
But I have hoped in you, O Lord. I said, “You are my God.”
15 わが時はすべてなんぢの手にあり ねがはくはわれを仇の手よりたすけ われに追迫るものより助けいだしたまへ
My fate is in your hands. Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who are persecuting me.
16 なんぢの僕のうへに聖顔をかがやかせ なんぢの仁慈をもて我をすくひたまへ
Shine your face upon your servant. Save me in your mercy.
Do not let me be confounded, Lord, for I have called upon you. Let the impious be ashamed and be drawn down into Hell. (Sheol h7585)
18 傲慢と軽侮とをもて義きものにむかひ妄りにののしるいつはりの口唇をつぐましめたまへ
May deceitful lips be silenced: those that speak iniquity against the just, in arrogance and in abusiveness.
19 汝をおそるる者のためにたくはへ なんぢに依賴むもののために人の子のまへにてほどこしたまへる汝のいつくしみは大なるかな
How great is the multitude of your sweetness, O Lord, which you keep hidden for those who fear you, which you have perfected for those who hope in you, in the sight of the sons of men.
20 汝かれらを御前なるひそかなる所にかくして人の謀略よりまぬかれしめ また行宮のうちにひそませて舌のあらそひをさけしめたまはん
You hide them in the concealment of your face, from the disturbance of men. You protect them in your tabernacle, from the contradiction of tongues.
21 讃べきかなヱホバは堅固なる城のなかにて奇しまるるばかりの仁慈をわれに顯したまへり
Blessed is the Lord. For he has shown his wonderful mercy to me, in a fortified city.
22 われ驚きあわてていへらく なんぢの目のまへより絶れたりと 然どわれ汝によびもとめしとき汝わがねがひの聲をききたまへり
But I said in the excess of my mind: “I have been cast away from the glance of your eyes.” And so, you heeded the voice of my prayer, while I was still crying out to you.
23 なんぢらもろもろの聖徒よヱホバをいつくしめ ヱホバは眞實あるものをまもり傲慢者におもく報をほどこしたまふ
Love the Lord, all you his saints. For the Lord will require truth, and he will abundantly repay those who act with arrogance.
24 すべてヱホバを俟望むものよ雄々しかれ なんぢら心をかたうせよ
Act manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all you who hope in the Lord.
