Psalms 44
1 God, we ourselves have heard what our parents and grandparents told us. They told us about the miracles that you performed long ago.
可拉后裔的训诲诗，交与伶长。 神啊，你在古时， 我们列祖的日子所行的事， 我们亲耳听见了； 我们的列祖也给我们述说过。
2 [They told us] how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. [They told us] that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper [IDM].
你曾用手赶出外邦人， 却栽培了我们列祖； 你苦待列邦， 却叫我们列祖发达。
3 It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] [that they did those things]; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with them.
因为他们不是靠自己的刀剑得地土， 也不是靠自己的膀臂得胜， 乃是靠你的右手、你的膀臂， 和你脸上的亮光， 因为你喜悦他们。
4 You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.
神啊，你是我的王； 求你出令使雅各得胜。
5 It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.
我们靠你要推倒我们的敌人， 靠你的名要践踏那起来攻击我们的人。
6 I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow [and arrows] and my sword.
因为，我必不靠我的弓； 我的刀也不能使我得胜。
7 No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed [because they were defeated].
惟你救了我们脱离敌人， 使恨我们的人羞愧。
8 We have continually boasted about what God [has done for us], and we will thank him [MTY] forever.
我们终日因 神夸耀， 还要永远称谢你的名。 (细拉)
9 But [now] you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out [to fight a battle], you no [longer] go with them.
但如今你丢弃了我们，使我们受辱， 不和我们的军兵同去。
10 You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.
你使我们向敌人转身退后； 那恨我们的人任意抢夺。
11 You have allowed us to become like [MET] sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us [far away] among [other].
你使我们当作快要被吃的羊， 把我们分散在列邦中。
12 [It is as though] [MET] you sold us, your people, [to our enemies] for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!
你卖了你的子民也不赚利， 所得的价值并不加添你的资财。
13 People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
你使我们受邻国的羞辱， 被四围的人嗤笑讥刺。
14 They make jokes using the name of [our country], they shake their heads [to indicate that they despise us].
你使我们在列邦中作了笑谈， 使众民向我们摇头。
15 All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.
我的凌辱终日在我面前， 我脸上的羞愧将我遮蔽，
16 I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.
都因那辱骂毁谤人的声音， 又因仇敌和报仇人的缘故。
17 All these things have happened to us [even] though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with [our ancestors].
这都临到我们身上， 我们却没有忘记你， 也没有违背你的约。
18 We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do [IDM].
我们的心没有退后； 我们的脚也没有偏离你的路。
19 But [it is as though] you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark [ravine].
你在野狗之处压伤我们， 用死荫遮蔽我们。
20 If we had forgotten to worship [MTY] our God, or if we had spread out our hands to [worship] a foreign god,
倘若我们忘了 神的名， 或向别神举手，
21 you certainly would have known that, because you know [even] what we secretly think.
神岂不鉴察这事吗？ 因为他晓得人心里的隐秘。
22 But it is because we belong to you, [that our enemies] are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.
我们为你的缘故终日被杀； 人看我们如将宰的羊。
23 [So], Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep [RHQ]? Get up! Do not reject us forever!
主啊，求你睡醒，为何尽睡呢？ 求你兴起，不要永远丢弃我们！
24 Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed [by our enemies]?
你为何掩面， 不顾我们所遭的苦难和所受的欺压？
25 We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.
我们的性命伏于尘土； 我们的肚腹紧贴地面。
26 Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!
求你起来帮助我们！ 凭你的慈爱救赎我们！
