Psalms 102
1 The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord. Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
困苦人發昏的時候，在耶和華面前吐露苦情的禱告。 耶和華啊，求你聽我的禱告， 容我的呼求達到你面前！
2 Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily.
我在急難的日子，求你向我側耳； 不要向我掩面！ 我呼求的日子，求你快快應允我！
3 For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
因為，我的年日如煙雲消滅； 我的骨頭如火把燒着。
4 I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
我的心被傷，如草枯乾， 甚至我忘記吃飯。
5 Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
因我唉哼的聲音， 我的肉緊貼骨頭。
6 I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.
我如同曠野的鵜鶘； 我好像荒場的鴞鳥。
7 I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
我警醒不睡； 我像房頂上孤單的麻雀。
8 All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised me did swear against me.
我的仇敵終日辱罵我； 向我猖狂的人指着我賭咒。
9 For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
我吃過爐灰，如同吃飯； 我所喝的與眼淚攙雜。
10 Because of thy anger and indignation: for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.
這都因你的惱恨和忿怒； 你把我拾起來，又把我摔下去。
11 My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.
我的年日如日影偏斜； 我也如草枯乾。
12 But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: and thy memorial to all generations.
惟你－耶和華必存到永遠； 你可記念的名也存到萬代。
13 Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
你必起來憐恤錫安， 因現在是可憐她的時候， 日期已經到了。
14 For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
你的僕人原來喜悅她的石頭， 可憐她的塵土。
15 And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
列國要敬畏耶和華的名； 世上諸王都敬畏你的榮耀。
16 For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.
因為耶和華建造了錫安， 在他榮耀裏顯現。
17 He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition.
他垂聽窮人的禱告， 並不藐視他們的祈求。
18 Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
這必為後代的人記下， 將來受造的民要讚美耶和華。
19 Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
因為，他從至高的聖所垂看； 耶和華從天向地觀察，
20 That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain:
要垂聽被囚之人的歎息， 要釋放將要死的人，
21 That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem;
使人在錫安傳揚耶和華的名， 在耶路撒冷傳揚讚美他的話，
22 When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord.
就是在萬民和列國 聚會事奉耶和華的時候。
23 He answered him in the way of his strength: Declare unto me the fewness of my days.
他使我的力量中道衰弱， 使我的年日短少。
24 Call me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are unto generation and generation.
我說：我的上帝啊， 不要使我中年去世。 你的年數世世無窮！
25 In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
你起初立了地的根基； 天也是你手所造的。
26 They shall perish but thou remainest: and all of them shall grow old like a garment: And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed.
天地都要滅沒，你卻要長存； 天地都要如外衣漸漸舊了。 你要將天地如裏衣更換， 天地就都改變了。
27 But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
惟有你永不改變； 你的年數沒有窮盡。
28 The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever.
你僕人的子孫要長存； 他們的後裔要堅立在你面前。
