詩篇 31
1 達味詩歌，交與樂官。 上主，我投靠你，總不會受辱，求你憑你的公義將我救出；
To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. In thee, O Yahweh, have I sought refuge, Let me not be ashamed to times age-abiding, In thy righteousness, deliver me:
2 求你側你的耳聽我，速來救我：作我避難的磐石，獲救的城堡。
Incline unto me, thine ear, Speedily rescue me, —Become to me a Rock of refuge, a Place of security, For saving me.
3 因為因為你是我的磐石，我的城堡，為你的名，求你引導我指教我。
Because, my mountain crag and my stronghold, thou art, Therefore, for the sake of thine own Name, wilt thou lead me and guide me?
4 求你救我脫免暗布的網羅，因為唯有你是我的避難所。
Wilt thou bring me forth, out of the net which they have hidden for me? For, thou, art my refuge.
5 我將我的靈魂託於你的掌握，上主，忠實的天主，你必拯救我。
Into thy hand, do I commit my spirit—Thou hast ransomed me, O Yahweh, GOD most faithful.
6 拜虛無偶像的人，你深惡痛絕。上主，然而我卻對你全心信賴。
I hate such as give heed to false vanities, I, then, in Yahweh, have set my hope.
7 我要因你的慈愛喜樂歡暢，因為你曾俯視我的慘狀，體會我心靈所受的悲傷；
I will indeed exult and rejoice, in thy lovingkindness, —In that thou hast looked upon my humiliation, thou hast taken note that in distresses was my life;
8 你沒有將我交於敵之手，反而使我穩立於廣闊之處。
And hast not shut me up in the hand of the foe, Thou hast given standing, in a roomy place, unto my feet.
9 上主，求你可憐我，因為我陷入困苦，我的眼、心靈和肺腑，全因憂傷而頹喪。
Show me favour, O Yahweh, for in distress am I, —Wasted with vexation, is mine eye—my soul and my body;
10 我的生命因憂傷而耗盡，我的歲月在哭泣中消逝，我的精力因悲傷衰退，我的骸骨也已枯槁腐蝕。
For, consumed with sorrow, is my life, and my years with sighing, —My strength hath staggered with my humiliation, and, my bones, are without marrow.
11 我的仇敵都辱罵我，我的四鄰都恥笑我，我的知己憎恨我，路上的行人都遠避我。
By reason of all mine adversaries, have I become a reproach. Even to my neighbours, altogether, and a dread to mine acquaintance, —They who have seen me abroad, have fled from me:
12 我被人全心忘掉，有如死人，活像一個破舊拋棄的瓦盆。
I have been forgotten, like one dead—out of mind, I have been as a missing vessel.
13 當我聽到許多人在嘯，恐怖瀰漫四境，他們在群集商議攻擊我，謀奪我的性命；
For I have heard the whispering of many—A terror round about! When they have sat in conclave together against me, to take away my life, have they intrigued.
14 我仍舊依靠你，上主，我說：你是我的天主！
I, therefore. in thee, have put my trust, O Yahweh, I have said, My God, thou art!
15 我的命運全掌握於你手，求你救我脫離我的敵手，擺脫一切迫害我的仇讎。
In thy hand, are my times, Rescue me from the hand of my foes and from my pursuers!
16 求以你的慈容，光照你僕，求以你的仁慈把我救出。
Cause thy face to shine upon thy servant, Save me in thy lovingkindness.
O Yahweh! let me not be ashamed, For I have called upon thee, Let the lawless be ashamed, Go down in silence to hades! (Sheol h7585)
18 願那些驕傲自大，口出妄言，說謊攻擊義人的唇舌啞瘖!
Let false lips be made dumb, —which are speaking—against a righteous one—arrogantly, with pride and contempt.
19 上主，你為敬愛你的人所保留的恩澤，是何等的豐盛！你在人前施予投奔於你者的慈惠，又是何等寬宏！
How great is thy goodness, which thou hast hidden away for them who revere thee, —Thou hast wrought for them who seek refuge in thee, in sight of the sons of men.
20 你將他們掩護在你儀容的影下，免遭世人的重創；又將他們隱藏在你帳幕的裏面，免遭口舌的中傷。
Thou wilt conceal them, in the secrecy of thine own presence, from the conspiracies of men, —Thou wilt hide them in a pavilion, from the strife of tongues.
21 願上主受讚美，因為他在堅固的城內，向我特別顯出祂那奇妙無比的慈愛，
Blessed be Yahweh, for he hath made wonderful his lovingkindness for me, in a fortified city.
22 我雖在惶恐中說：「我已被驅逐離開你前。」但我一呼求你，你即刻俯允我的呼聲哀嘆。
But, I, had said in mine alarm, I am cut off from before thine eyes, —But, indeed, thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, when I cried for help unto thee.
23 眾聖徒！你們應愛慕上主，因祂保祐信徒，但祂對蠻橫的人，必加以嚴厲的報復。
Love Yahweh, all ye his men of lovingkindness, —Faithfulness, doth Yahweh observe, but repayeth abundantly him that worketh proudly.
24 凡一切信賴上主的人們，請勇敢鼓起你們的心神。
Be strong, and let your heart be bold, all ye who are waiting for Yahweh.
