诗篇 71
1 耶和华啊，我投靠你； 求你叫我永不羞愧！
Lord, you are the one who keeps me safe; please don't disappoint me.
2 求你凭你的公义搭救我，救拔我； 侧耳听我，拯救我！
Save me, rescue me, because you always do what is right.
3 求你作我常住的磐石； 你已经命定要救我， 因为你是我的岩石，我的山寨。
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 神啊，求你救我脱离恶人的手， 脱离不义和残暴之人的手。
My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of those who are evil and brutal.
5 主—耶和华啊，你是我所盼望的； 从我年幼，你是我所倚靠的。
For you, Lord God, are my hope. You are the one I have trusted since I was young.
6 我从出母胎被你扶持； 使我出母腹的是你。 我必常常赞美你！
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 许多人以我为怪， 但你是我坚固的避难所。
My life has been like a miracle to many people, for you have been my powerful protector.
8 你的赞美，你的荣耀 终日必满了我的口。
All day long I am full of praise for you, telling how wonderful you are!
9 我年老的时候，求你不要丢弃我！ 我力气衰弱的时候，求你不要离弃我！
Don't reject me now I'm getting old. When my strength is gone, please don't abandon me.
10 我的仇敌议论我； 那些窥探要害我命的彼此商议，
For my enemies are talking about me; those who want to kill me are plotting together.
11 说： 神已经离弃他； 我们追赶他，捉拿他吧！ 因为没有人搭救。
They say, “God has given up on him. Let's go after him because there's no one to save him.”
12 神啊，求你不要远离我！ 我的 神啊，求你速速帮助我！
God, please don't stay away from me. My God, hurry to help me!
13 愿那与我性命为敌的，羞愧被灭； 愿那谋害我的，受辱蒙羞。
Defeat my accusers, get rid of them! May those who want to cause me trouble be covered with shame and disgrace!
14 我却要常常盼望， 并要越发赞美你。
As for me, I will go on hoping in you, and I will praise you more and more.
15 我的口终日要述说你的公义和你的救恩， 因我不计其数。
I will talk about your goodness and your salvation every day, even though it's more than I can understand.
16 我要来说主—耶和华大能的事； 我单要提说你的公义。
I will come and explain what the Lord has done. I will remind people that you alone do what is right.
17 神啊，自我年幼时，你就教训我； 直到如今，我传扬你奇妙的作为。
God, you have taught me since I was young, and I still tell others about all the wonderful things you do.
18 神啊，我到年老发白的时候， 求你不要离弃我！ 等我将你的能力指示下代， 将你的大能指示后世的人。
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 神啊，你的公义甚高； 行过大事的 神啊，谁能像你！
God, your trustworthy and true nature is higher than the highest heaven! You have done incredible things! God, who is like you?
20 你是叫我们多经历重大急难的， 必使我们复活， 从地的深处救上来。
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 求你使我越发昌大， 又转来安慰我。
You will give me even greater prestige, and you will make me happy again.
22 我的 神啊，我要鼓瑟称赞你， 称赞你的诚实！ 以色列的圣者啊，我要弹琴歌颂你！
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 我歌颂你的时候， 我的嘴唇和你所赎我的灵魂都必欢呼；
I will shout for joy as I sing praises to you, for you have redeemed me.
24 并且我的舌头必终日讲论你的公义， 因为那些谋害我的人已经蒙羞受辱了。
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.
