1In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
1大衛的詩,交給詩班長。耶和華啊!我投靠你;求你使我永不羞愧,求你按著你的公義搭救我。
2Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
2求你留心聽我,趕快拯救我;求你作我堅固的磐石,作拯救我的堅壘。
3For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
3因為你是我的巖石、我的堅壘;為你名的緣故,求你帶領我,引導我。
4Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
4求你救我脫離人為我暗設的網羅,因為你是我的避難所。
5Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
5我把我的靈魂交在你手裡,耶和華信實的 神啊!你救贖了我。
6I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
6我恨惡那些信奉虛無偶像的人;至於我,我卻倚靠耶和華。
7I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
7我要因你的慈愛歡喜快樂,因為你看見了我的困苦,知道我心中的痛苦;
8And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
8你沒有把我交在仇敵的手裡,你使我的腳站穩在寬闊之地。
9Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
9耶和華啊!求你恩待我,因為我在患難之中;我的眼睛因愁煩昏花,我的身、我的心也都衰殘。
10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
10我的生命因愁苦耗盡,我的歲月在歎息中消逝,我的力量因罪孽衰退,我的骨頭也枯乾。
11I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
11我因眾仇敵的緣故,成了眾人羞辱的對象,在我的鄰居面前更是這樣;認識我的人都懼怕我;在街上看見我的,都避開我。
12I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
12我被人完全忘記,如同死了的人,我好像破碎的器皿,
13For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
13我聽見許多人的毀謗,四周都有驚嚇;他們一同商議攻擊我,圖謀要取我的性命。
14But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
14但是,耶和華啊!我還是倚靠你;我說:“你是我的 神。”
15My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
15我的一生都在你的手中;求你救我脫離我仇敵的手,和那些迫害我的人。
16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
16求你用你的臉光照你的僕人,以你的慈愛拯救我。
17Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
17耶和華啊!求你不要使我羞愧,因為我向你呼求;求你使惡人羞愧,使他們在陰間靜寂無聲。
18Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
18那些逞驕傲,態度輕慢,說話狂傲攻擊義人的,願他們說謊的嘴唇啞而無聲。
19Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
19耶和華啊!你為敬畏你的人所珍藏的好處,為投靠你的人在世人面前所施行的恩惠,是多麼豐盛。
20Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
20你把他們藏在你面前的隱密處,免得他們陷在世人的陰謀裡;又把他們保護在帳棚內,以免落在口舌的爭競中。
21Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
21耶和華是應當稱頌的,因為我在被圍困的城裡,他就向我顯出他奇妙的慈愛。
22For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
22至於我,我曾在驚恐中說:“我從你眼前被隔絕”;可是我向你呼求的時候,你還是垂聽了我懇求的聲音。
23O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
23耶和華的眾聖民哪!你們都要愛耶和華;耶和華保護誠實的人,卻嚴厲地報應行事驕傲的人。
24Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
24所有仰望耶和華的人,你們都要剛強,堅固你們的心。
