詩篇 109
1 達味的聖詠，交於樂官。我所讚美的天主，求您別緘口不語！
To victorye, the salm of Dauid.
2 因為邪惡欺詐的口，已經張開攻擊我，騙人說謊的舌頭，也已經出言陷害我，
God, holde thou not stille my preisyng; for the mouth of the synner, and the mouth of the gileful man is openyd on me.
3 以毒恨的言語四面評擊我，又無緣無故地興訟毀謗我。
Thei spaken ayens me with a gileful tunge, and thei cumpassiden me with wordis of hatrede; and fouyten ayens me with out cause.
4 他們誣告我，以報我的友愛；然而我卻為他們祈禱不懈；
For that thing that thei schulden loue me, thei bacbitiden me; but Y preiede.
5 他們以惡心回報我的善心，他們用恨情還報我的愛情。
And thei settiden ayens me yuelis for goodis; and hatrede for my loue.
6 求您派一惡人向他們攻訐，叫控告者站在他的右邊。
Ordeyne thou a synner on him; and the deuel stonde on his riyt half.
7 使他受審時，被判為罪，使他的辯護，仍構成罪案。
Whanne he is demed, go he out condempned; and his preier `be maad in to synne.
8 願您縮短他的年歲，讓人取去他的權位。
Hise daies be maad fewe; and another take his bischopriche.
9 使他的子女盡成孤獨，使他的妻子流為寡婦，
Hise sones be maad faderles; and his wijf a widewe.
10 使他的子孫流離失所，沿門乞食，使他由殘破的家室裏，被人逐離。
Hise sones tremblinge be born ouer, and begge; and be cast out of her habitaciouns.
11 使債主搜括他所有的家產，仗外人劫掠他勞力的所賺。
An vsurere seke al his catel; and aliens rauysche hise trauelis.
12 誰也不要向他施行仁慈，誰也不要憐憫他的孤兒；
Noon helpere be to him; nether ony be that haue mercy on hise modirles children.
13 願他的後肓裔全被斬盡滅絕，他們的姓名被塗抹於後代。
Hise sones be maad in to perisching; the name of him be don awei in oon generacioun.
14 願上主記念他父親的罪愆，總不要赦免他母親的過犯；
The wickidnesse of hise fadris come ayen in to mynde in the siyt of the Lord; and the synne of his modir be not don awei.
15 叫那些罪永留在上主前，從地上除去他們的記念。
Be thei maad euere ayens the Lord; and the mynde of hem perische fro erthe.
16 因為他們總不想施恩行善，但知道迫害弱釔和貧賤，連人靈破碎的人也摧殘。
For that thing that he thouyte not to do merci,
17 他既喜愛詛咒，願詛咒臨於他！他既不愛祝福，願祝福遠離他！
and he pursuede a pore man and beggere; and to slee a man compunct in herte.
18 他以詛咒為他的衣帶，詛咒如水浸入他的五內，更像脂油滲透他的骨骸，
And he louede cursing, and it schal come to hym; and he nolde blessing, and it schal be maad fer fro him. And he clothide cursing as a cloth, and it entride as water in to hise ynnere thingis; and as oile in hise boonus.
19 好像衣服遮蔽了他，好似皮帶纏住了他。
Be it maad to him as a cloth, with which he is hilyd; and as a girdil, with which he is euere gird.
20 凡控告我並惡言誹謗我的人，願他們由主獲得這些報應。
This is the werk of hem that bacbiten me anentis the Lord; and that speke yuels ayens my lijf.
21 然而上主，為了您的名，求您善等我，天主，按焄您的仁慈和善良，拯救我！
And thou, Lord, Lord, do with me for thi name; for thi merci is swete.
22 我原來貧窮可憐，我的人腸傷痛悲慘；
Delyuere thou me, for Y am nedi and pore; and myn herte is disturblid with ynne me.
23 我像夕陽殘影漸漸消逝，我被人驅除又與蝗蟲相似。
I am takun awei as a schadowe, whanne it bowith awei; and Y am schakun awei as locustis.
24 我的雙膝因齋戒而酸軟，我的肉體已經消瘦不堪。
Mi knees ben maad feble of fasting; and my fleische was chaungid for oile.
25 我竟成了他們的笑柄，看見我的人頭搖齒冷。
And Y am maad schenschipe to hem; thei sien me, and moueden her heedis.
26 上主，我的天主，求您扶助我，求您按著您的慈愛拯救我，
Mi Lord God, helpe thou me; make thou me saaf bi thi merci.
27 讓人知道這是您手的工程，上主，的確這是您的所作所行。
And thei schulen wite, that this is thin hond; and thou, Lord, hast do it.
28 任憑他們詛咒，惟願您予以祝福，叫您的僕人喜歡，使我的仇敵蒙羞。
Thei schulen curse, and thou schalt blesse, thei that risen ayens me, be schent; but thi seruaunt schal be glad.
29 叫誣告我的人滿被淩辱，他們蒙受恥辱，如被氅裘。
Thei that bacbiten me, be clothid with schame; and be thei hilid with her schenschipe as with a double cloth.
30 我要親口向上主，歌頌，要讚美祂在億萬人中。
I schal knouleche to the Lord greetli with my mouth; and Y schal herie hym in the myddil of many men.
31 因祂站在窮苦人的右邊，拯救他脫離定罪的裁判。
Which stood nyy on the riyt half of a pore man; to make saaf my soule fro pursueris.
