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；
Yahweh, I have come to you to be protected; do not allow me to be [defeated, with the result that I am] disgraced. Since you always do what is fair/right, rescue 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。
Listen to me, and save me right now! Be [like] a huge rock [under which I can hide] [MET] and [like] a strong fort in which I will be safe.
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。
Yes, you are [like] my huge rock and my fort; guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].
4 求你救我脫免暗布的網羅，因為唯有你是我的避難所。
You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].
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。
Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.
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。
Yahweh, I hate those who worship useless idols, but I trust in you.
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 be very glad [DOU] because you faithfully love me. You see me when I have been afflicted, and you have known when I have had troubles.
8 你沒有將我交於敵之手，反而使我穩立於廣闊之處。
You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.
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。
[But now], Yahweh, be kind to me [again] because I am distressed. Because I cry [so much], I cannot see well, and I am completely exhausted.
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。
I have become very weak because I am [so] miserable, and it is causing my life to become shorter. I have become weak because of all my troubles; even my bones are becoming weaker.
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。
All of my enemies make fun of me, and [even] my neighbors despise me. [Even] my friends are afraid of me [because they think I am being punished by God], and when they see me on the streets, they run away.
12 我被人全心忘掉，有如死人，活像一個破舊拋棄的瓦盆。
People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.
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；
I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.
14 我仍舊依靠你，上主，我說：你是我的天主！
But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.
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。
My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.
16 求以你的慈容，光照你僕，求以你的仁慈把我救出。
Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.
Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to [soon die and] go down to the place where the dead people are. (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!
I desire that you will cause people [MTY] who tell lies to be unable to speak. Do that to people who are proud and those who arrogantly accuse righteous people.
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！
You have stored up many blessings for those who revere you. You do those good things for those who go to you to be protected; everyone sees you doing that.
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。
You hide people in your presence where it is safe, and protect them from people who plot [to kill them]. You hide them in safe places from their enemies [MTY] who accuse/insult them.
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，
Praise Yahweh! When my enemies surrounded the city [in which I was living], he showed me in a wonderful way that he faithfully loves me.
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。
I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.
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。
You people who belong to Yahweh, love him! Those who are loyal to him, he protects, but those who are very proud, he punishes them severely like they deserve to be punished.
24 凡一切信賴上主的人們，請勇敢鼓起你們的心神。
You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
