诗篇 74
1 亚萨的训诲诗。 神啊，你为何永远丢弃我们呢？ 你为何向你草场的羊发怒，如烟冒出呢？
An instruction: of Asaph. Why, O God, hast thou cast off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 求你记念你古时所得来的会众， 就是你所赎、作你产业支派的， 并记念你向来所居住的锡安山。
Remember thine assembly, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed [to be] the portion of thine inheritance, this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 求你举步去看那日久荒凉之地， 仇敌在圣所中所行的一切恶事。
Lift up thy steps unto the perpetual desolations: everything in the sanctuary hath the enemy destroyed.
4 你的敌人在你会中吼叫； 他们竖了自己的旗为记号。
Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy place of assembly; they set up their signs [for] signs.
5 他们好像人扬起斧子， 砍伐林中的树。
[A man] was known as he could lift up axes in the thicket of trees;
6 圣所中一切雕刻的， 他们现在用斧子锤子打坏了。
And now they break down its carved work altogether, with hatchets and hammers.
7 他们用火焚烧你的圣所， 亵渎你名的居所，拆毁到地。
They have set on fire thy sanctuary, they have profaned the habitation of thy name to the ground.
8 他们心里说：我们要尽行毁灭； 他们就在遍地把 神的会所都烧毁了。
They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all God's places of assembly in the land.
9 我们不见我们的标帜，不再有先知； 我们内中也没有人知道这灾祸要到几时呢！
We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet, neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10 神啊，敌人辱骂要到几时呢？ 仇敌亵渎你的名要到永远吗？
How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy contemn thy name for ever?
11 你为什么缩回你的右手？ 求你从怀中伸出来，毁灭他们。
Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? [pluck it] out of thy bosom: consume [them].
12 神自古以来为我的王， 在地上施行拯救。
But God is my king of old, accomplishing deliverances in the midst of the earth.
13 你曾用能力将海分开， 将水中大鱼的头打破。
Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters:
14 你曾砸碎鳄鱼的头， 把它给旷野的禽兽为食物。
Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.
15 你曾分裂磐石，水便成了溪河； 你使长流的江河干了。
Thou didst cleave fountain and torrent, thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
16 白昼属你，黑夜也属你； 亮光和日头是你所预备的。
The day is thine, the night also is thine; thou hast prepared the moon and the sun:
17 地的一切疆界是你所立的； 夏天和冬天是你所定的。
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; summer and winter — thou didst form them.
18 耶和华啊，仇敌辱骂， 愚顽民亵渎了你的名，求你记念这事。
Remember this, that an enemy hath reproached Jehovah, and a foolish people have contemned thy name.
19 不要将你斑鸠的性命交给野兽； 不要永远忘记你困苦人的性命。
Give not up the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the troop of thine afflicted for ever.
20 求你顾念所立的约， 因为地上黑暗之处都满了强暴的居所。
Have respect unto the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the dwellings of violence.
21 不要叫受欺压的人蒙羞回去； 要叫困苦穷乏的人赞美你的名。
Oh let not the oppressed one return ashamed; let the afflicted and needy praise thy name.
22 神啊，求你起来为自己伸诉！ 要记念愚顽人怎样终日辱骂你。
Rise up, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day;
23 不要忘记你敌人的声音； 那起来敌你之人的喧哗时常上升。
Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
