Psalms 71
1 In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
上主，我託庇於您，使我永不受羞恥！
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
求您照您的正義解救我，求您側耳聽我，並拯救我。
3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
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，
4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
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。
5 For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
因為，我主上主，您是我的期望，您是我自幼唯一的仰仗。
6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
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。
7 I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
許多人都把我視作妖怪，您卻作了我有力的仰賴。
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.
我要滿口讚頌您，我要終日稱揚您。
9 Do not reject me in my old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
在我年老時，求您不要拋棄我，在我氣力衰弱時，不要遠離我。
10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
不然，我的仇敵必要對我說，窺伺我命的人，互相私議說：
11 saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
天主已經捨棄了他，您們追擊他，捕捉他! 因為無人再來救他。
12 God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
天主，求您不要遠離我，我的天主，請快來救我。
13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
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！
14 But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
我仍不斷地期望您，每日加倍地讚美您。
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I do not know its full measure.
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。
16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
我要稱揚我天主的偉大奇能，上主，我要傳述您獨有的寬仁。
17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
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。
18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, do not forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
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。
19 God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?
天主，您的仁慈直達天際，天主，您行大事誰可比您？
20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
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。
21 Increase my honor and comfort me again.
求您增加我的尊位，求您再來給我安慰。
22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
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。
23 My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
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。
24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
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。
