Psalms 22
1 To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou] far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning?
【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 My God, I cry by day, and thou answerest not; and by night, and there is no rest for me:
我的天主，我白天呼號，你不應允；我黑夜哀禱，你仍默靜。
3 And thou art holy, thou that dwellest amid the praises of Israel.
但是你居於聖所，作以色列的榮耀！
4 Our fathers confided in thee: they confided, and thou didst deliver them.
我們的先祖曾經依賴了你，你救起他們，因他們依賴你；
5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they confided in thee, and were not confounded.
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 no man; a reproach of men, and the despised of 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 All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying: ]
凡看見我的人都戲笑我，他們都撇著嘴搖著頭說：
8 Commit it to Jehovah — let him rescue him; let him deliver him, because he delighteth 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 thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou didst make me trust, upon 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 cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my God from my mother's belly.
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; for there is none to 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 Many bulls have encompassed me; Bashan's strong ones have beset me round.
成群的公牛圍繞著我，巴商的雄牛包圍著我；
13 They gape upon me with their mouth, [as] a ravening and a roaring lion.
都向我張開自己的嘴，活像怒孔掠食的獅子。
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is become like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
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 strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and thou hast laid me in the dust of death.
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 For dogs have encompassed me; an assembly of evil-doers have surrounded me: they pierced my hands and my 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 may count all my bones. They look, they stare upon me;
我竟能數清我的骨骼；他們卻冷眼觀望著我，
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
他們瓜分了我的衣服，為我的長衣，他們拈鬮。
19 But thou, Jehovah, be not far [from me]; O my strength, haste thee to help me.
上主! 請不要遠離我，我的勇力，速來助我。
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my only one 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 Save me from the lion's mouth. Yea, from the horns of the buffaloes hast thou answered me.
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 declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
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 Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and revere him, all ye the 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 hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him: but when he cried unto him, he heard.
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 is from thee, in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
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 meek shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise Jehovah that seek him: your heart shall live 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 shall remember and turn unto Jehovah, and all the families of the nations shall worship before thee:
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 Jehovah's, and he ruleth 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 shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, and he that cannot keep alive his own 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 shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
我的後裔將要事奉上主，向未來的世界傳述我主，
31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done [it].
向下代人傳揚祂的正義說：這全是上主的所作所為！
