Psalms

（大衛的詩，交與伶長。調用朝鹿。）我的神，我的神！為甚麼離棄我？為甚麼遠離不救我？不聽我唉哼的言語？

[To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.] My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? {why art thou so} far from helping me, {and from} the words of my roaring? {Aijeleth...: or, the hind of the morning} {helping...: Heb. my salvation}

我的神啊，我白日呼求，你不應允，夜間呼求，並不住聲。

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. {am...: Heb. there is no silence to me}

但你是聖潔的，是用以色列的讚美為寶座（或譯：居所）的。

But thou {art} holy, {O thou} that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

我們的祖宗倚靠你；他們倚靠你，你便解救他們。

Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

他們哀求你，便蒙解救；他們倚靠你，就不羞愧。

They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

但我是蟲，不是人，被眾人羞辱，被百姓藐視。

But I {am} a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

凡看見我的都嗤笑我；他們撇嘴搖頭，說：

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, {saying}, {shoot...: Heb. open}

他把自己交託耶和華，耶和華可以救他罷！耶和華既喜悅他，可以搭救他罷！

He trusted on the LORD {that} he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. {He trusted...: Heb. He rolled himself on} {seeing...: or, if he delight in}

但你是叫我出母腹的；我在母懷裡，你就使我有倚靠的心。

But thou {art} he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope {when I was} upon my mother's breasts. {didst...: or, kept me in safety}

我自出母胎就被交在你手裡；從我母親生我，你就是我的神。

I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou {art} my God from my mother's belly.

求你不要遠離我！因為急難臨近了，沒有人幫助我。

Be not far from me; for trouble {is} near; for {there is} none to help. {none...: Heb. not a helper}

有許多公牛圍繞我，巴珊大力的公牛四面困住我。

Many bulls have compassed me: strong {bulls} of Bashan have beset me round.

他們向我張口，好像抓撕吼叫的獅子。

They gaped upon me {with} their mouths, {as} a ravening and a roaring lion. {gaped...: Heb. opened their mouths against me}

我如水被倒出來；我的骨頭都脫了節；我心在我裡面如蠟鎔化。

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. {out of...: or, sundered}

我的精力枯乾，如同瓦片；我的舌頭貼在我牙床上。你將我安置在死地的塵土中。

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

犬類圍著我，惡黨環繞我；他們扎了我的手，我的腳。

For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

我的骨頭，我都能數過；他們瞪著眼看我。

I may tell all my bones: they look {and} stare upon me.

他們分我的外衣，為我的裡衣拈鬮。

They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

耶和華啊，求你不要遠離我！我的救主啊，求你快來幫助我！

But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

求你救我的靈魂脫離刀劍，救我的生命（生命：原文是獨一者）脫離犬類，

Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. {my darling: Heb. my only one} {power: Heb. hand}

救我脫離獅子的口；你已經應允我，使我脫離野牛的角。

Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

我要將你的名傳與我的弟兄，在會中我要讚美你。

I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

你們敬畏耶和華的人要讚美他！雅各的後裔都要榮耀他！以色列的後裔都要懼怕他！

Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

因為他沒有藐視憎惡受苦的人，也沒有向他掩面；那受苦之人呼籲的時候，他就垂聽。

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

我在大會中讚美你的話是從你而來的；我要在敬畏耶和華的人面前還我的願。

My praise {shall be} of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

謙卑的人必吃得飽足；尋求耶和華的人必讚美他。願你們的心永遠活著！

The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

地的四極都要想念耶和華，並且歸順他；列國的萬族都要在你面前敬拜。

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

因為國權是耶和華的；他是管理萬國的。

For the kingdom {is} the LORD'S: and he {is} the governor among the nations.

地上一切豐肥的人必吃喝而敬拜；凡下到塵土中─不能存活自己性命的人─都要在他面前下拜。

All {they that be} fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

他必有後裔事奉他；主所行的事必傳與後代。

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

他們必來把他的公義傳給將要生的民，言明這事是他所行的。

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done {this}.
