詩篇 31
1 伶長にうたはしめたるダビデのうた ヱホバよわれ汝によりたのむ 願くはいづれの日までも愧をおはしめたまふなかれ なんぢの義をもてわれを助けたまへ
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed; keep me safe in your righteousness.
2 なんぢの耳をかたぶけて速かにわれをすくひたまへ 願くはわがためにかたき磐となり我をすくふ保障の家となりたまへ
Let your ear be turned to me; take me quickly out of danger; be my strong Rock, my place of strength where I may be safe.
3 なんぢはわが磐わが城なり されば名のゆゑをもてわれを引われを導きたまへ
For you are my Rock and my strong tower; go in front of me and be my guide, because of your name.
4 なんぢ我をかれらが密かにまうけたる網よりひきいだしたまへ なんぢはわが保砦なり
Take me out of the net which they have put ready for me secretly; for you are my strength.
5 われ霊魂をなんぢの手にゆだぬ ヱホバまことの神よなんぢはわれを贖ひたまへり
Into your hands I give my spirit; you are my saviour, O Lord God for ever true.
6 われはいつはりの虚きことに心をよする者をにくむ われは獨ヱホバによりたのむなり
I am full of hate for those who go after false gods; but my hope is in the Lord.
7 我はなんぢの憐憫をよろこびたのしまん なんぢわが艱難をかへりみ わがたましひの禍害をしり
I will be glad and have delight in your mercy; because you have seen my trouble; you have had pity on my soul in its sorrows;
8 われを仇の手にとぢこめしめたまはず わが足をひろきところに立たまへばなり
And you have not given me into the hand of my hater; you have put my feet in a wide place.
9 われ迫りくるしめり ヱホバよ我をあはれみたまへ わが目はうれひによりておとろふ 霊魂も身もまた衰へぬ
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; my eyes are wasted with grief, I am wasted in soul and body.
10 わが生命はかなしみによりて消えゆき わが年華はなげきによりて消ゆけばなり わが力はわが不義によりておとろへ わが骨はかれはてたり
My life goes on in sorrow, and my years in weeping; my strength is almost gone because of my sin, and my bones are wasted away.
11 われもろもろの仇ゆゑにそしらる わが隣にはわけて甚だし相識ものには忌憚られ衢にてわれを見るもの避てのがる
Because of all those who are against me, I have become a word of shame to my neighbours; a cause of shaking the head and a fear to my friends: those who saw me in the street went in flight from me.
12 われは死たるもののごとく忘られて人のこころに置れず われはやぶれたる器もののごとくなれり
I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel.
13 そは我おほくの人のそしりをきい到るところに懼あり かれら我にさからひて互にはかりしが わが生命をさへとらんと企てたり
False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.
14 されどヱホバよわれ汝によりたのめり また汝はわが神なりといへり
But I had faith in you, O Lord; I said, You are my God.
15 わが時はすべてなんぢの手にあり ねがはくはわれを仇の手よりたすけ われに追迫るものより助けいだしたまへ
The chances of my life are in your hand; take me out of the hands of my haters, and of those who go after me.
16 なんぢの僕のうへに聖顔をかがやかせ なんぢの仁慈をもて我をすくひたまヘ
Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.
Let me not be shamed, O Lord, for I have made my prayer to you; let the sinners be shamed, and let their mouths be shut in the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
18 傲慢と軽侮とをもて義きものにむかひ妄りにののしるいつはりの口唇をつぐましめたまへ
Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.
19 汝をおそるる者のためにたくはへ なんぢに依頼むもののために人の子のまへにてほどこしたまへる汝のいつくしみは大なるかな
O how great is your grace, which you have put in store for your worshippers, and which you have made clear to those who had faith in you, before the sons of men!
20 汝かれらを御前なるひそかなる所にかくして人の謀略よりまぬかれしめ また行宮のうちにひそませて舌のあらそひをさけしめたまはん
You will keep them safe in your house from the designs of man; in the secret of your tent will you keep them from angry tongues.
21 讃べきかなヱホバは堅固なる城のなかにて奇しまるるばかりの仁慈をわれに顕したまへり
May the Lord be praised, because he has made clear to me the wonder of his grace in a strong town.
22 われ驚きあわてていへらく なんぢの目のまへより絶れたりと 然どわれ汝によびもとめしとき汝わがねがひの聲をききたまへり
And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.
23 なんぢらもろもろの聖徒よヱホバをいつくしめ ヱホバは眞實あるものをまもり傲慢者におもく報をほどこしたまふ
O have love for the Lord, all you his saints; for the Lord keeps safe from danger all those who are true to him, and gives the workers of pride their right reward.
24 すべてヱホバを侯望むものよ雄々しかれ なんぢら心をかたうせよ
Put away fear and let your heart be strong, all you whose hope is in the Lord.
