Psalms

（大衛的記念詩。）耶和華啊，求你不要在怒中責備我，不要在烈怒中懲罰我！

[A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.] O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

因為，你的箭射入我身；你的手壓住我。

For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

因你的惱怒，我的肉無一完全；因我的罪過，我的骨頭也不安寧。

{There is} no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither {is there any} rest in my bones because of my sin. {rest: Heb. peace, or, health}

我的罪孽高過我的頭，如同重擔叫我擔當不起。

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

因我的愚昧，我的傷發臭流膿。

My wounds stink {and} are corrupt because of my foolishness.

我疼痛，大大拳曲，終日哀痛。

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. {troubled: Heb. wried}

我滿腰是火；我的肉無一完全。

For my loins are filled with a loathsome {disease}: and {there is} no soundness in my flesh.

我被壓傷，身體疲倦；因心裡不安，我就唉哼。

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

主啊，我的心願都在你面前；我的歎息不向你隱瞞。

Lord, all my desire {is} before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

我心跳動，我力衰微，連我眼中的光也沒有了。

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. {is gone...: Heb. is not with me}

我的良朋密友因我的災病都躲在旁邊站著；我的親戚本家也遠遠地站立。

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. {sore: Heb. stroke} {my kinsmen: or, my neighbours}

那尋索我命的設下網羅；那想要害我的口出惡言，終日思想詭計。

They also that seek after my life lay snares {for me}: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

但我如聾子不聽，像啞巴不開口。

But I, as a deaf {man}, heard not; and {I was} as a dumb man {that} openeth not his mouth.

我如不聽見的人，口中沒有回話。

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth {are} no reproofs.

耶和華啊，我仰望你！主─我的神啊，你必應允我！

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. {in...: or, thee do I wait for} {hear: or, answer}

我曾說：恐怕他們向我誇耀；我失腳的時候，他們向我誇大。

For I said, {Hear me}, lest {otherwise} they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify {themselves} against me.

我幾乎跌倒；我的痛苦常在我面前。

For I {am} ready to halt, and my sorrow {is} continually before me. {to halt: Heb. for halting}

我要承認我的罪孽；我要因我的罪憂愁。

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

但我的仇敵又活潑又強壯，無理恨我的增多了。

But mine enemies {are} lively, {and} they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. {are lively...: Heb. being living, are strong}

以惡報善的與我作對，因我是追求良善。

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow {the thing that} good {is}.

耶和華啊，求你不要撇棄我！我的神啊，求你不要遠離我！

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

拯救我的主啊，求你快快幫助我！

Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation. {to...: Heb. for my help}
