Psalms 102
1 A prayer from someone who is suffering and is tired out, pouring out their troubles to the Lord. Lord please hear my prayer, my cry for help!
困苦人发昏的时候，在耶和华面前吐露苦情的祷告。 耶和华啊，求你听我的祷告， 容我的呼求达到你面前！
2 Don't hide your face from me in my time of trouble! Turn and listen to me, and answer me quickly when I call.
我在急难的日子，求你向我侧耳； 不要向我掩面！ 我呼求的日子，求你快快应允我！
3 My life is disappearing like smoke; my body feels like it's on fire!
因为，我的年日如烟云消灭； 我的骨头如火把烧着。
4 I'm like grass that's dried up, withered away—I even forget to eat!
我的心被伤，如草枯干， 甚至我忘记吃饭。
5 All my groaning has worn me out; my bones show through my skin.
因我唉哼的声音， 我的肉紧贴骨头。
6 I'm like a desert owl, like a little owl among the ruins.
我如同旷野的鹈鹕； 我好像荒场的鸮鸟。
7 I can't sleep. I'm like a lonely bird on a rooftop.
我警醒不睡； 我像房顶上孤单的麻雀。
8 My enemies taunt me all day long. They mock me and swear at me.
我的仇敌终日辱骂我； 向我猖狂的人指着我赌咒。
9 Ashes are the food I eat; my tears drip into my drink,
我吃过炉灰，如同吃饭； 我所喝的与眼泪搀杂。
10 because of your anger and hostility, for you have picked me up and tossed me away.
这都因你的恼恨和忿怒； 你把我拾起来，又把我摔下去。
11 My life is fading away like a shadow that lengthens—I'm withering away like grass.
我的年日如日影偏斜； 我也如草枯干。
12 But you, Lord, reign forever, your fame will last for all generations.
惟你—耶和华必存到永远； 你可记念的名也存到万代。
13 You will take action and have pity on Jerusalem, for it's time to be kind to the city, the time has come.
你必起来怜恤锡安， 因现在是可怜她的时候， 日期已经到了。
14 For the people who follow you love its stones; they value even its dust!
你的仆人原来喜悦她的石头， 可怜她的尘土。
15 Then the nations will be in awe of who you are, Lord; all the kings of the earth will be in awe of your glory.
列国要敬畏耶和华的名； 世上诸王都敬畏你的荣耀。
16 For the Lord will rebuild Jerusalem; he will appear in glory.
因为耶和华建造了锡安， 在他荣耀里显现。
17 He will pay attention to the prayers of the homeless; he will not disregard their requests.
他垂听穷人的祷告， 并不藐视他们的祈求。
18 Let this be recorded for generations to come, so that people yet to be born may praise the Lord:
这必为后代的人记下， 将来受造的民要赞美耶和华。
19 The Lord looked down from above, from the heights of his holy place; he looked down from heaven to the earth,
因为，他从至高的圣所垂看； 耶和华从天向地观察，
20 to respond to the groans of prisoners, to set free the children of death.
要垂听被囚之人的叹息， 要释放将要死的人，
21 As a result the wonderful nature of the Lord will be celebrated with praise in Jerusalem,
使人在锡安传扬耶和华的名， 在耶路撒冷传扬赞美他的话，
22 when the people of many kingdoms gather together to worship the Lord.
就是在万民和列国 聚会事奉耶和华的时候。
23 But as for me, he broke my health while I was still young, cutting my life short.
他使我的力量中道衰弱， 使我的年日短少。
24 I cried out, “My God, don't take my life while I'm young! You are the one who lives forever.
我说：我的 神啊， 不要使我中年去世。 你的年数世世无穷！
25 Long ago you created the earth; you made the heavens.
你起初立了地的根基； 天也是你手所造的。
26 They will come to an end, but you will not. They will all wear out, like clothes—you will change them, and throw them away.
天地都要灭没，你却要长存； 天地都要如外衣渐渐旧了。 你要将天地如里衣更换， 天地就都改变了。
27 But you are the one who always is; your years never come to an end.
惟有你永不改变； 你的年数没有穷尽。
28 Our children will live with you, and our children's children will grow in your presence.”
你仆人的子孙要长存； 他们的后裔要坚立在你面前。
