< Psalms 25 >

1 A psalm of David. To you, O Lord, I lift up my heart: all the day I wait for you.
大衛的詩。 耶和華啊,我的心仰望你。
2 In you I trust, put me not to shame; let not my foes exult over me.
我的上帝啊,我素來倚靠你; 求你不要叫我羞愧, 不要叫我的仇敵向我誇勝。
3 None will be shamed who wait for you, but shame will fall upon wanton traitors.
凡等候你的必不羞愧; 惟有那無故行奸詐的必要羞愧。
4 Make me, O Lord, to know your ways: teach me your paths.
耶和華啊,求你將你的道指示我, 將你的路教訓我!
5 In your faithfulness guide me and teach me, for you are my God and my saviour.
求你以你的真理引導我,教訓我, 因為你是救我的上帝。 我終日等候你。
6 Remember your pity, O Lord, and your kindness, for they have been ever of old.
耶和華啊,求你記念你的憐憫和慈愛, 因為這是亙古以來所常有的。
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth; remember me in kindness, because of your goodness, Lord.
求你不要記念我幼年的罪愆和我的過犯; 耶和華啊,求你因你的恩惠,按你的慈愛記念我。
8 Good is the Lord and upright, so he teaches sinners the way.
耶和華是良善正直的, 所以他必指示罪人走正路。
9 The humble he guides in the right, he teaches the humble his way.
他必按公平引領謙卑人, 將他的道教訓他們。
10 All his ways are loving and loyal to those who observe his charges and covenant.
凡遵守他的約和他法度的人, 耶和華都以慈愛誠實待他。
11 Be true to your name Lord, forgive my many sins.
耶和華啊,求你因你的名赦免我的罪, 因為我的罪重大。
12 Who then is the person who fears the Lord? He will teach them the way to choose.
誰敬畏耶和華, 耶和華必指示他當選擇的道路。
13 They will live in prosperity, their children will inherit the land.
他必安然居住; 他的後裔必承受地土。
14 The Lord gives guidance to those who fear him, and with his covenant he makes them acquainted.
耶和華與敬畏他的人親密; 他必將自己的約指示他們。
15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for out of the net he brings my foot.
我的眼目時常仰望耶和華, 因為他必將我的腳從網裏拉出來。
16 Turn to me with your favour, for I am lonely and crushed
求你轉向我,憐恤我, 因為我是孤獨困苦。
17 In my heart are strain and storm; bring me out of my distresses.
我心裏的愁苦甚多, 求你救我脫離我的禍患。
18 Look on my misery and trouble, and pardon all my sins,
求你看顧我的困苦,我的艱難, 赦免我一切的罪。
19 look on my foes oh, so many! And their cruel hatred towards me.
求你察看我的仇敵, 因為他們人多,並且痛痛地恨我。
20 Deliver me, keep me, and shame not one who takes refuge in you.
求你保護我的性命,搭救我, 使我不致羞愧,因為我投靠你。
21 May integrity and innocence preserve me, for I wait for you, O Lord.
願純全、正直保守我, 因為我等候你。
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distresses.
上帝啊,求你救贖以色列脫離他一切的愁苦。
