Psalms 71
1 In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
上主，我託庇於您，使我永不受羞恥！
2 In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear 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 my rock of refuge, where I can 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 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
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, O 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 leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for 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 have become a portent 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 is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
我要滿口讚頌您，我要終日稱揚您。
9 Do not discard 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 speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
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 him and seize him, for there is no one to 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 Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
天主，求您不要遠離我，我的天主，請快來救我。
13 May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
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 praise You more and more.
我仍不斷地期望您，每日加倍地讚美您。
15 My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their 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 enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—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 O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
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 Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are 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 Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
天主，您的仁慈直達天際，天主，您行大事誰可比您？
20 Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
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 You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
求您增加我的尊位，求您再來給我安慰。
22 So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O 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 When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
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 indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
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。
