詩篇 69
1 大衛的詩，交與伶長。調用百合花。 上帝啊，求你救我！ 因為眾水要淹沒我。
Save me, O God, for the waters have come in to my soul.
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。
I sink in deep mire where there is no standing. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3 我因呼求困乏，喉嚨發乾； 我因等候上帝，眼睛失明。
I am weary with my crying. My throat is dried. My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
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。
Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who would cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. That which I took not away I have to restore.
5 上帝啊，我的愚昧，你原知道； 我的罪愆不能隱瞞。
O God, thou know my foolishness, and my sins are not hid from thee.
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！
Let not those who wait for thee be put to shame through me, O lord Jehovah of hosts. Let not those who seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.
7 因我為你的緣故受了辱罵， 滿面羞愧。
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach, shame has covered my face.
8 我的弟兄看我為外路人； 我的同胞看我為外邦人。
I have become a stranger to my brothers, and an alien to my mother's sons.
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。
For the zeal of thy house has eaten me up, and the reproaches of those who reproach thee have fallen upon me.
10 我哭泣，以禁食刻苦我心； 這倒算為我的羞辱。
When I wept in my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11 我拿麻布當衣裳， 就成了他們的笑談。
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
12 坐在城門口的談論我； 酒徒也以我為歌曲。
Those who sit in the gate talk of me, and I am the song of the drunkards.
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！
But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Jehovah. In an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of thy loving kindness, answer me in the truth of thy salvation.
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。
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
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。
Let not the water flood overwhelm me, nor let the deep swallow me up. And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
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！
Answer me, O Jehovah, for thy loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou to me,
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！
and hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily.
18 求你親近我，救贖我！ 求你因我的仇敵把我贖回！
Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.
19 你知道我受的辱罵、欺凌、羞辱； 我的敵人都在你面前。
Thou know my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before thee.
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。
Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none.
21 他們拿苦膽給我當食物； 我渴了，他們拿醋給我喝。
They also gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
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。
Let their table before them become a snare, and when they are in peace, a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them.
23 願他們的眼睛昏矇，不得看見； 願你使他們的腰常常戰抖。
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and bow down their back continually.
24 求你將你的惱恨倒在他們身上， 叫你的烈怒追上他們。
Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.
25 願他們的住處變為荒場； 願他們的帳棚無人居住。
Let their habitation be desolate. Let none dwell in their tents.
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。
For they persecute him whom thou have smitten, and they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou have wounded.
27 願你在他們的罪上加罪， 不容他們在你面前稱義。
Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28 願他們從生命冊上被塗抹， 不得記錄在義人之中。
Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
29 但我是困苦憂傷的； 上帝啊，願你的救恩將我安置在高處。
But I am poor and sorrowful. Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 我要以詩歌讚美上帝的名， 以感謝稱他為大！
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving,
31 這便叫耶和華喜悅，勝似獻牛， 或是獻有角有蹄的公牛。
and it will please Jehovah better than an ox, or a bullock that has horns and hoofs.
32 謙卑的人看見了就喜樂； 尋求上帝的人，願你們的心甦醒。
The meek have seen it, and are glad. Ye who seek after God, let your heart live.
33 因為耶和華聽了窮乏人， 不藐視被囚的人。
For Jehovah hears the needy, and does not despise his prisoners.
34 願天和地、 洋海和其中一切的動物都讚美他！
Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and everything that moves therein.
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。
For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.
36 他僕人的後裔要承受為業； 愛他名的人也要住在其中。
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell therein.
