詩篇 71
1 上主，我託庇於您，使我永不受羞恥！
Lord, you are the one who keeps me safe; please don't disappoint me.
2 求您照您的正義解救我，求您側耳聽我，並拯救我。
Save me, rescue me, because you always do what is right.
3 求您作我避難的石壁，獲救的堡壘；因為您是我的磐石，我的堡壘，
Please listen to me, and save me. Be my rock of protection where I can always go and hide. You gave the command to save me; for you are my rock and fortress.
4 我的天主，求您由邪惡人的手中將我救出，由兇蠻橫暴者的掌中將我救走。
My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of those who are evil and brutal.
5 因為，我主上主，您是我的期望，您是我自幼唯一的仰仗。
For you, Lord God, are my hope. You are the one I have trusted since I was young.
6 我自從在母胎中，就仰賴您，尚在母懷中，您就是我的託庇；我全心的希望，時時寄托於您。
I have depended on you since birth; you have taken care of me from my mother's womb. That's why I'm always praising you!
7 許多人都把我視作妖怪，您卻作了我有力的仰賴。
My life has been like a miracle to many people, for you have been my powerful protector.
8 我要滿口讚頌您，我要終日稱揚您。
All day long I am full of praise for you, telling how wonderful you are!
9 在我年老時，求您不要拋棄我，在我氣力衰弱時，不要遠離我。
Don't reject me now I'm getting old. When my strength is gone, please don't abandon me.
10 不然，我的仇敵必要對我說，窺伺我命的人，互相私議說：
For my enemies are talking about me; those who want to kill me are plotting together.
11 天主已經捨棄了他，您們追擊他，捕捉他! 因為無人再來救他。
They say, “God has given up on him. Let's go after him because there's no one to save him.”
12 天主，求您不要遠離我，我的天主，請快來救我。
God, please don't stay away from me. My God, hurry to help me!
13 願那些謀殺我命的人，走頭無路，願那些設法害我的人，蒙受恥辱！
Defeat my accusers, get rid of them! May those who want to cause me trouble be covered with shame and disgrace!
14 我仍不斷地期望您，每日加倍地讚美您。
As for me, I will go on hoping in you, and I will praise you more and more.
15 我的口要傳述您的寬仁，終日不斷宣揚您的救恩，因為我不知它們的數額。
I will talk about your goodness and your salvation every day, even though it's more than I can understand.
16 我要稱揚我天主的偉大奇能，上主，我要傳述您獨有的寬仁。
I will come and explain what the Lord has done. I will remind people that you alone do what is right.
17 天主，遠自我幼年時，您已教導了我。直至今日，我仍宣示您的微妙。
God, you have taught me since I was young, and I still tell others about all the wonderful things you do.
18 天主，即我髮白年老，求您也不要離棄我，直至我將您的威力宣示給這一代，將您的奇能傳述給下一代。
Even though I'm old and gray, please don't abandon me, God. Let me tell the new generation about your power. Let me explain to all who are to come the great things you do.
19 天主，您的仁慈直達天際，天主，您行大事誰可比您？
God, your trustworthy and true nature is higher than the highest heaven! You have done incredible things! God, who is like you?
20 您曾使我經歷許多困苦艱難，現今仍然是您使我生活安全，並提拔我脫離了地下的深淵。
You had me face many troubles and plenty of misery, but you will bring me back to life; you will rise me up from the depths of the earth.
21 求您增加我的尊位，求您再來給我安慰。
You will give me even greater prestige, and you will make me happy again.
22 我的天主，我要彈琴，歌頌您的忠誠，以色列的聖者，我要鼓瑟，向您歌頌。
Then I will praise you on the harp for your trustworthiness, my God. I will sing praises to you on the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23 當我歌頌您時，我的雙唇要歡騰，我那為您所救的靈魂，也要歡騰。
I will shout for joy as I sing praises to you, for you have redeemed me.
24 我的舌頭也要終日伸述您的仁慈，因為謀圖傷害我的人蒙受了羞恥。
All day long I will tell about all the good things you have done, for those who tried to cause me misery have been disgraced and humiliated.
