Psalms 71
1 In thee, O LORD! do I put my trust! Let me never be put to shame!
上主，我託庇於您，使我永不受羞恥！
2 In thy goodness deliver and rescue me; Incline thine ear to me, 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 thou the rock of my abode, where I may continually resort! Thou hast granted me deliverance; For thou art 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 Save me, O my God! from the hand of the wicked, -From the hand of the unjust and cruel!
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 thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah! Thou hast been my trust 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 Upon thee have I leaned from my birth; From my earliest breath thou hast been my support; My song hath been continually of thee!
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 am a wonder to many, But thou art my strong refuge.
許多人都把我視作妖怪，您卻作了我有力的仰賴。
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise; Yea, all the day long, with thy glory.
我要滿口讚頌您，我要終日稱揚您。
9 Cast me not off in mine old age; Forsake me not, When my strength faileth!
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 they who lay wait for my life consult together:
不然，我的仇敵必要對我說，窺伺我命的人，互相私議說：
11 “God,” say they, “hath forsaken him; Pursue and seize him; for he hath none to deliver 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 O God! be not far from me! Come speedily to mine aid, O my God!
天主，求您不要遠離我，我的天主，請快來救我。
13 Let them perish with shame who are my enemies; Let them be covered with contempt and dishonor who seek my hurt!
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 hope continually; I shall yet praise thee more and more.
我仍不斷地期望您，每日加倍地讚美您。
15 My mouth shall speak of thy goodness, —Of thy sure protection all the day long; For thy mercies are more than I can number.
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 celebrate thy mighty deeds, O Lord Jehovah! I will make mention of thy goodness, of thine only!
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! thou hast taught me from my youth, And thus far have I declared thy wondrous 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 And now, when I am old and gray-headed, O God! forsake me not, Until I make known thine arm to the next generation, -Thy mighty power to all that 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 For thy goodness, O God! reacheth to the heavens; Wonderful things doest thou! O God! who is like unto thee?
天主，您的仁慈直達天際，天主，您行大事誰可比您？
20 Thou hast suffered us to see great and grievous troubles; Thou wilt again give us life, And wilt bring us back from the depths of the earth!
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 Thou wilt increase my greatness; Thou wilt again comfort me!
求您增加我的尊位，求您再來給我安慰。
22 Then will I praise thee with the psaltery; Even thy faithfulness, O my God! To thee will I sing with the harp, 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 My lips shall rejoice, when I sing to thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed from death;
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 also shall continually speak of thy righteousness: For all who seek my hurt are brought to shame 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。
