Psalms 71
1 In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
耶和華啊，我投靠你； 求你叫我永不羞愧！
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
求你憑你的公義搭救我，救拔我； 側耳聽我，拯救我！
3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
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。
4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
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。
5 For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
主－耶和華啊，你是我所盼望的； 從我年幼，你是我所倚靠的。
6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
我從出母胎被你扶持； 使我出母腹的是你。 我必常常讚美你！
7 I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
許多人以我為怪， 但你是我堅固的避難所。
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honour all day long.
你的讚美，你的榮耀 終日必滿了我的口。
9 Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
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！
10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
我的仇敵議論我； 那些窺探要害我命的彼此商議，
11 saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
說：上帝已經離棄他； 我們追趕他，捉拿他吧！ 因為沒有人搭救。
12 God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
上帝啊，求你不要遠離我！ 我的上帝啊，求你速速幫助我！
13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
願那與我性命為敵的，羞愧被滅； 願那謀害我的，受辱蒙羞。
14 But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
我卻要常常盼望， 並要越發讚美你。
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.
我的口終日要述說你的公義和你的救恩， 因我不計其數。
16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
我要來說主－耶和華大能的事； 我單要提說你的公義。
17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
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。
18 Yes, even when I am old and grey-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
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。
19 God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?
上帝啊，你的公義甚高； 行過大事的上帝啊，誰能像你！
20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
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。
21 Increase my honour and comfort me again.
求你使我越發昌大， 又轉來安慰我。
22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
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！
23 My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
我歌頌你的時候， 我的嘴唇和你所贖我的靈魂都必歡呼；
24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
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。
