Psalms 22
1 To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David. My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?
【西亞的苦難與效果】 達味詩歌，交與樂官，調寄「朝鹿」。 我的天主，我的天主，你為什麼捨棄了我？你又為什麼遠離我的懇求，和我的哀號。
2 O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.
我的天主，我白天呼號，你不應允；我黑夜哀禱，你仍默靜。
3 But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel.
但是你居於聖所，作以色列的榮耀！
4 Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.
我們的先祖曾經依賴了你，你救起他們，因他們依賴你；
5 They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.
他們呼號了你，便得到救贖，他們信賴了你，而從未蒙羞。
6 But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.
至於我，成了微蟲，失掉了人形；是人類的恥辱，受百姓的欺凌。
7 I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,
凡看見我的人都戲笑我，他們都撇著嘴搖著頭說：
8 He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.
他既信賴上主，上主就應救他；上主既喜愛他，祂就該拯救他。
9 But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.
是你使我由母腹中出生，使我在母懷裏享受安寧。
10 I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.
我一離開母胎，就已交托於你，尚在母懷時，你己是我的天主。
11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.
因為大難臨頭，求你不要遠離我，求你來近，因為無人肯來夫助我。
12 A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan.
成群的公牛圍繞著我，巴商的雄牛包圍著我；
13 I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.
都向我張開自己的嘴，活像怒孔掠食的獅子。
14 I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.
我好像傾瀉的水一般，我全身骨骸都已脫散；我的心好像是蠟，在我內臟中溶化。
15 My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.
我的上顎枯乾得像瓦片，我的舌頭貼在咽喉上面；你竟使我於死灰中輾轉。
16 Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.
惡犬成地圍困著我，歹徒成夥地環繞著我；他們穿透了我的手腳，
17 I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:
我竟能數清我的骨骼；他們卻冷眼觀望著我，
18 They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.
他們瓜分了我的衣服，為我的長衣，他們拈鬮。
19 Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.
上主! 請不要遠離我，我的勇力，速來助我。
20 Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.
求你由刀劍下搶救我的靈魂，由惡犬的爪牙拯救我的生命；
21 Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.
求你從獅子的血口救我脫身，由野牛角下救出我這苦命人。
22 I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.
我要向我的弟兄，宣揚你的聖名，在盛大的集會中，向你讚美歌頌：
23 You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.
你們敬愛上主的人，請讚美上主，雅各伯所有的後裔，請光榮上主，以色列的一切子孫，請敬愛上主！
24 For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.
因為祂沒有輕看或蔑視卑賤人的苦痛，也沒有掩起祂自己的面孔，他一呼號上主，上主即予俯聽。
25 My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers.
我在盛大的集會中要向祂頌讚，我在敬愛祂的人前正還我的誓願。
26 The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.
貧困的人必將食而飽飫，尋求上主的人必讚頌主；願他們的心靈永久生存！
27 All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.
整個大地將醒覺而歸順上主，天下萬民將在祂前屈膝叩首；
28 For the kingdom is the Lord's; he is the ruler among the nations.
因為唯有上主得享王權，唯有祂將萬民宰治掌管。
29 All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul.
凡安眼於黃泉的人都要朝拜祂，凡返回於灰土的人都要叩拜祂。我的靈魂存在生活只是為了祂，
30 A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after.
我的後裔將要事奉上主，向未來的世界傳述我主，
31 They will come and make his righteousness clear to a people of the future because he has done this.
向下代人傳揚祂的正義說：這全是上主的所作所為！
