Psalms 71
1 Yahweh, I have come to you to (get refuge/be protected); never allow me to become ashamed [because of being defeated].
耶和华啊，我投靠你； 求你叫我永不羞愧！
2 Because you always do what is right, help me and rescue me; listen to me, and save me!
求你凭你的公义搭救我，救拔我； 侧耳听我，拯救我！
3 Be [like an overhanging] rock [MET] under which I [can be] safe/protected; [be like] a strong fortress in which I am safe [DOU]. You [continually] command (OR, [Continually] command) [your angels] to rescue me.
求你作我常住的磐石； 你已经命定要救我， 因为你是我的岩石，我的山寨。
4 God, rescue me from wicked [people], from the power of unjust and evil men.
我的 神啊，求你救我脱离恶人的手， 脱离不义和残暴之人的手。
5 Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect [to help me]; I have trusted in you since I was young.
主—耶和华啊，你是我所盼望的； 从我年幼，你是我所倚靠的。
6 I have depended on you all my life; you have taken care of me [IDM] since the day that I was born, [so] I will always praise you.
我从出母胎被你扶持； 使我出母腹的是你。 我必常常赞美你！
7 The manner in which I have conducted my life has been an example to many [people], because [they realize that] you have been my strong defender.
许多人以我为怪， 但你是我坚固的避难所。
8 I praise you all day long, and I proclaim that you are glorious/wonderful.
你的赞美，你的荣耀 终日必满了我的口。
9 Now, when I have become an old man, do not reject/abandon me; do not abandon me now, when I am not strong any more.
我年老的时候，求你不要丢弃我！ 我力气衰弱的时候，求你不要离弃我！
10 My enemies say [that they want to kill] me; they plan together [how they can do that].
我的仇敌议论我； 那些窥探要害我命的彼此商议，
11 They say [about me], “God has abandoned him; so now we can pursue him and seize him, because there is no one who will rescue him.”
说： 神已经离弃他； 我们追赶他，捉拿他吧！ 因为没有人搭救。
12 God, do not stay far away from me; hurry to help me!
神啊，求你不要远离我！ 我的 神啊，求你速速帮助我！
13 Cause those who (accuse me/say that I have done things that are wrong) to be defeated and destroyed; cause those who want to harm me to be shamed and disgraced.
愿那与我性命为敌的，羞愧被灭； 愿那谋害我的，受辱蒙羞。
14 But [as for me], I will continually and confidently expect [you to do great things for me], and I will praise you more and more.
我却要常常盼望， 并要越发赞美你。
15 I will tell people that you do what is right; all day long I will tell people how you have saved me, although what you have done is more than I can fully understand.
我的口终日要述说你的公义和你的救恩， 因我不计其数。
16 Yahweh, my Lord, I will praise you for your mighty deeds; I will proclaim that only you always act justly.
我要来说主—耶和华大能的事； 我单要提说你的公义。
17 God, you have taught me [many/those things] ever since I was young, and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.
神啊，自我年幼时，你就教训我； 直到如今，我传扬你奇妙的作为。
18 And now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me. [Stay with me] while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren [HYP] that you are [very] powerful!
神啊，我到年老发白的时候， 求你不要离弃我！ 等我将你的能力指示下代， 将你的大能指示后世的人。
19 God, you do many righteous deeds; [it is as though] they extend up to the sky. You have done great things; there is no one like you [RHQ].
神啊，你的公义甚高； 行过大事的 神啊，谁能像你！
20 You have caused me to have many troubles and to suffer much, [but] you will cause me to become strong again; when I am almost dead [HYP], you will keep me alive.
你是叫我们多经历重大急难的， 必使我们复活， 从地的深处救上来。
21 You will cause me to be greatly honored and you will encourage/comfort me again.
求你使我越发昌大， 又转来安慰我。
22 I will also praise you [while I play] my harp; I will praise you, my God, for faithfully [doing what you have promised to do]. I will play hymns to praise you, the holy God whom [we] Israelis [worship].
我的 神啊，我要鼓瑟称赞你， 称赞你的诚实！ 以色列的圣者啊，我要弹琴歌颂你！
23 I [SYN] will shout joyfully while I play [the harp] for you; with my entire inner being I will sing because you have rescued me.
我歌颂你的时候， 我的嘴唇和你所赎我的灵魂都必欢呼；
24 All day long I will tell people that you act righteously, because those who wanted to harm me will have been defeated and disgraced.
并且我的舌头必终日讲论你的公义， 因为那些谋害我的人已经蒙羞受辱了。
