诗篇 71
1 耶和华啊，我投靠你； 求你叫我永不羞愧！
In thee, O LORD! do I put my trust! Let me never be put to shame!
2 求你凭你的公义搭救我，救拔我； 侧耳听我，拯救我！
In thy goodness deliver and rescue me; Incline thine ear to me, and save me!
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。
Be thou the rock of my abode, where I may continually resort! Thou hast granted me deliverance; For thou art my rock and my 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。
Save me, O my God! from the hand of the wicked, -From the hand of the unjust and cruel!
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 thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah! Thou hast been my trust from my youth!
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！
Upon thee have I leaned from my birth; From my earliest breath thou hast been my support; My song hath been continually of thee!
7 许多人以我为怪， 但你是我坚固的避难所。
I am a wonder to many, But thou art my strong refuge.
8 你的赞美，你的荣耀 终日必满了我的口。
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise; Yea, all the day long, with thy glory.
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！
Cast me not off in mine old age; Forsake me not, When my strength faileth!
10 我的仇敌议论我； 那些窥探要害我命的彼此商议，
For my enemies speak against me, And they who lay wait for my life consult 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。
“God,” say they, “hath forsaken him; Pursue and seize him; for he hath none to deliver him!”
12 神啊，求你不要远离我！ 我的 神啊，求你速速帮助我！
O God! be not far from me! Come speedily to mine aid, O my God!
13 愿那与我性命为敌的，羞愧被灭； 愿那谋害我的，受辱蒙羞。
Let them perish with shame who are my enemies; Let them be covered with contempt and dishonor who seek my hurt!
14 我却要常常盼望， 并要越发赞美你。
But I will hope continually; I shall yet praise thee 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。
My mouth shall speak of thy goodness, —Of thy sure protection all the day long; For thy mercies are more than I can number.
16 我要来说主—耶和华大能的事； 我单要提说你的公义。
I will celebrate thy mighty deeds, O Lord Jehovah! I will make mention of thy goodness, of thine only!
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。
O God! thou hast taught me from my youth, And thus far have I declared thy wondrous deeds;
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。
And now, when I am old and gray-headed, O God! forsake me not, Until I make known thine arm to the next generation, -Thy mighty power to all that are to come!
19 神啊，你的公义甚高； 行过大事的 神啊，谁能像你！
For thy goodness, O God! reacheth to the heavens; Wonderful things doest thou! O God! who is like unto thee?
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。
Thou hast suffered us to see great and grievous troubles; Thou wilt again give us life, And wilt bring us back from the depths of the earth!
21 求你使我越发昌大， 又转来安慰我。
Thou wilt increase my greatness; Thou wilt again comfort me!
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 will I praise thee with the psaltery; Even thy faithfulness, O my God! To thee will I sing with the harp, O 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；
My lips shall rejoice, when I sing to thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed from death;
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。
My tongue also shall continually speak of thy righteousness: For all who seek my hurt are brought to shame and confounded.
