我從地極向你呼求; I call as my heart grows faint,

62. 必享安息
大衛的詩, 交詩班長, 照耶杜頓的作法
1 在神裏面我心才得安息; My soul finds rest in God alone;
因我的救恩是從祂而來. my salvation comes from him.
2 只有祂是我的磬石我的拯救; He alone is my rock and my salvation;
祂是我的堡壘我必永不動搖. he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
3 你們攻擊一個人要到幾時呢? How long will you assault a man?
你們要一起把他摔倒, Would all of you throw him down -
像推倒斜牆破壁嗎? this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4 他們一心企圖, They fully intend to topple him
要把他從高位上拉下來; from his lofty place;
他們愛說謊言, they take delight in lies,
口雖祝福, With their mouths they bless,
心卻咒詛. but in their hearts they curse.
5 我的心哪! Find rest,
唯獨在神裏面, 才能得到安息; O my soul, in God alone;
因我的盼望是從祂而來. my hope comes from him.
6 只有祂是我的磬石我的拯救; He alone is my rock and my salvation;
衪是我的堡壘我必永不動搖. he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
7 我的拯救我的榮耀全都靠神; My salvation and my honor depend on God;
因祂是我堅固磬石和避難所. he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8 眾民哪! 你們要時時信靠祂, Trust in him at all times, O people;
並且向祂傾心吐意. pour out your hearts to him,
因神是我們避難所. for God is our refuge.
9 下流人只是口氣, Lowborn men are but a breath,
上流人也是虛空; the highborn are but a lie;
放在天平如無物, if weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
加起來比氣還輕, together they are only a breath.
10 不要依靠掠奪財寶, Do not trust in extortion
不要炫耀偷來贓物; or take pride in stolen goods;
財富雖增勿迷心竅. though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
11 神說了一件事, One thing God has spoken,
我聽到二件事; two things have I heard:
12 神啊, 你大有能力! that you, O God, are strong.
主啊, 你大有慈愛! and that you, O Lord, are loving.
你必照各人所行報應人. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.
63. 對神渴慕
大衛的詩, 在猶大曠野所作.
1 神啊, 你是我的神! O God, you are my God,
我熱切尋求你; earnestly I seek you;
在乾旱貧乏無水地, my soul thirsts for you; my body longs for you,
我的心渴想你, 我的身切慕你. in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 我曾在聖所中瞻仰過你, I have seen you in the sanctuary
看見過你的大能和榮耀. and beheld your power and your glory.
3 因你的慈愛比生命更美, Because your love is better than life,
所以我的嘴唇要榮耀你. my lips will glorify you.
4 我一生都要讚美你, I will praise you as long as I live,
我要奉你的名舉手. and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 豐盛食物使我心靈飽足, My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
我要用歌唱嘴唇讚美你. with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6 我在床上記念你, On my bed I remember you;
夜闌人靜思念你. I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 因為你是我的幫助, Because you are my help,
我在你翅蔭下歌唱. I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 我的心緊緊跟隨你, My soul clings to you;
故你的右手扶持我. your right hand uphold me.
9 追索我命的人必被消滅, They who seek my life will be destroyed;
他們必被打入地的深處. they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10 交在刀劍之下, They will be given over the sword
成為野狗美食. and become food for jackals.
11 但王必因神歡喜快樂, But the king will rejoice in God;
奉神名起誓者讚美祂, all who swear by God's name will praise him,
說謊者的口必被消聲. while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
64. 仇敵陰謀
大衛的詩, 交詩班長.
1 神啊!我哀訴的時候, Hear me, O God,
求你垂聽我的聲音, as I voice my complaint;
保護我的性命不受仇敵威脅. protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2 求你隱藏我擺脫惡人的陰謀, Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
並使我遠遠離開惡人的喧擾. from that noisy crowd of evildoers.
3 他們磨舌如利劍, They sharpen their tongues like swords
開口出言如毒箭. and aim their words like deadly arrows.
4 他們埋伏暗射無辜的人, They shoot from ambush at the innocent man;
趁人不備發箭毫不愧怯. they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.
5 他們彼此鼓勵, 各出惡計; They encourge each other in evil plans,
共謀合商, 暗設羅網, they talk about hiding their snares;
並說: "誰能看見呢?" they say, "Who will see them?"
6 他們謀劃不公不義, 說: They plot injustice and say,
"我們的計謀天衣無縫!" "We have devised a perfect plan!"
人的心思意念實在狡詐. Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning.
7 但是神要放箭射他們, But God will shoot them with arrows;
讓他們突然中箭倒地. suddenly they will be struck down.
8 祂使他們的舌傷自己, He will turn their own tongues against them
並且使他們全都毀滅; and bring them to ruin;
看見他們的搖頭冷笑. all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9 全人類都要敬畏神, All mankind will fear;
都要傳揚神的大工. they will proclaim the works of God
真心明白祂的作為. and ponder what he has done.
10 願義人因耶和華歡喜, 投靠祂; Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him;
願所有心地正直的人, 讚美祂! let all the upright in heart praise him!

我掉入深淵大水中, I have come into the deep waters;
洶湧洪流要吞噬我. the floods engulf me.
3 我呼求得精疲力竭, I am worn out calling for help;
我的喉嚨焦乾難忍; my throat is parched.
我仰望神眼目昏花. my eyes fail, looking for my God.

比我的頭髮還要多; outnumber the hairs of my head;
多係無理敵視我的, many are my enemies without cause,
他們都想把我消滅. those who seek to destroy me.
不斷地在逼我返還 I am forced to restore
不是我偷竊的東西. what I did not steal.
5 神啊! 你知我的愚眛, You know my folly, O God;
我的罪愆瞞不過你. my guilt is not hidden from you.
6 萬軍的主耶和華啊! May those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me,
願盼望你的, 不要因我蒙羞; O Lord, the Lord Almighty;
以色列的神啊! may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me,
願尋求你的, 不要因我受辱. O God of Isreal.
7 因我為你忍受辱罵, For I endure scorn for your sake,
而且滿臉羞愧失色. and shame covers my face.
8 我的兄弟視我如路人, I am a stranger to my brothers;
我的同胞視我如外人. an alien to my own mother's sons;
9 因我熱中你的殿, 耗盡精力; for zeal for your house consumes me,
侮辱你的人辱罵, 都落我身. and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.

還使我孤立無援; and has left me helpless;
我指望有人同情, 一個也沒有; I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
我指望有人安慰, 一個也不見. for comforters, but found none.
21 他們把苦膽摻入我的食物, They put gall in my food

23 願他們的眼睛昏黑不能看見; May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
他們背脊永遠彎曲直不起來. and their backs be bent forever.
24 求你將烈怒倒在他們身上, Pour out your wrath on them;
讓你猛烈的怒氣打擊他們. let your fierce anger overtake them.
25 願他們的住處變為荒場, May their place be deserted;
他們的帳棚沒有人居住. let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
26 因他們逼害你壓傷的人, For they persecute those you wound
譏笑你打傷的人的苦痛. and talk about the pain of those you hurt.
27 願你在他們的罪上加罪, Charge them with crime upon crime;
不容他們分享你的救恩. do not let them share in your salvation.
28 願他們從生命冊上除名, May they be blotted out of the book of life
也不與義人一同記冊上. and not be listed with the righteous.
29 我仍在痛苦危難中, I am in pain and distress;
神啊! 求你的救恩保佑我. may your salvation, O God, protect me.
30 我要歌唱讚美神的名, I will praise God's name in song
還要衷心感謝榮耀祂! and glorify him with thanksgiving.
31 這比獻上牛或帶角蹄公牛, This will please the Lord more than an ox,
更加能夠討耶和華的喜悅. more than a bull with its horns and hoofs.
32 願尋求神的人心甦醒, The poor will see and be glad -
困苦的人看見就喜樂! you who seek God, may your hearts live!
33 耶和華垂聽窮人呼求, The Lord hears the needy
不藐視祂被擄的子民. and does not despise his captive people.

求你使我永不羞愧. let me never be put to shame.
2 求你以公義搭救我, Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness;
並側耳垂聽拯救我. turn your ear to me and save me.
3 求你作我常去避難的磬石, Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go;
因你是我的磬石我的堡壘; give the command to save me,
求你憐憫施恩下令拯救我. for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 我的神啊! Deliver me, O my God,
求你救我脫離惡人的手, from the hand of the wicked,
擺脫邪惡殘暴之徒掌控. from the grasp of evil and cruel men.
5 主耶和華啊! For you have been my hope,
你一直都是我的盼望, O Sovereign Lord,
也是我自幼信靠的主. my confidence since my youth.
6 我一生下來就信靠你, From birth I have relied on you;
你把我從母腹中領出, you brought me forth from my mother's womb.
我要永永遠遠讚美你! I will ever praise you.
7 許多人都以我為怪物, I have become like a portent to many,
但你是我堅固避難所. but you are my strong refuge.
8 我的口充滿你的讚美, My mouth is filled with your praise,
且終日宣揚你的榮美. declaring your splendor all day long.
9 我年老時, 求你不要丟棄我; Do not cast me away when I am old;
我力衰時, 求你不要離棄我. do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10 因我的仇敵揚言反抗我, For my enemies speak against me;
等著要殺我的聚首共謀. those who wait to kill me conspire together.
11 他們說: "神己離棄他, They say, "God has forsaken him;
讓我們追趕他, 捉拿他吧! pursue him and seize him,
因沒有人會搭救他." for no one will rescue him."
12 神啊, 求你不要遠離我! Be not far from me, O God;
我的神啊, 求你快來幫助我! come quickly, O my God, to help me.
13 願指控我的, 羞愧滅亡; May my accusers perish in shame;
想傷害我的, may those who want to harm me
受辱蒙羞. be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 至於我, 我要常常仰望你, But as for me, I will always have hope;
更要多多讚美你. I will praise you more and more.
15 我的口還要終日述說 My mouth will tell of your righteousness,
你的公義和你的救恩; of your salvation all day long,
縱使我對此無法測度. though I know not its measure.
16 主耶和華啊! I will come and proclaim your mighty acts,
我要來宣揚你大能的事, O Sovereign Lord;
也要傳揚你獨有的公義. I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.
17 神啊, 你自幼就教導我, Since my youth, O God, you have taught me,
今天我要宣揚你奇妙的作為. and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 神啊! 即使當我年老髮白時, Even when I am old and gray,
求你不要離棄我; do not forsake me, O God,
直到我把你的能力傳揚後代, till I declare your power to the next generation,
把你的大能宣告後世. your might to all who are to come.
19 神啊, 你的公義高達穹蒼! Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God,
你也行過很多大事; you who have done great things,
神啊, 有誰能像你呢? Who, O God, is like you?
20 你雖使我經歷很多苦難; Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter,
但你必定會使我活過來, you will restore my life again;
把我從地的深處救上來. from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.
21 你必加添我的尊榮, You will increase my honor
再一次親切安慰我. and comfort me once again.
22 我的神啊! I will praise you with my harp
為你的信實, 我要彈琴讚美你; for your faithfulness, O my God;
以色列的聖者啊! I will sing praise to you with the lyre,
我要彈琴歌頌你. O Holy One of Isreal.
23 當我, 就是你救贖的我, My lips will shout for joy
歌頌讚美你之時, when I sing praise to you -
我的嘴唇要歡呼. I, whom you have redeemed.
24 我的舌頭要終日述說你的公義, My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long,
因那些想要害我的, for those who wanted to harm me
都蒙羞受辱. have been put to shame and confusion.
72. 仁治永存
大衛為所羅門所作的祈禱詩
1 神啊! 求你賜公正給君王, Endow the king with your justice, O God,
賜公義給他的王子. the royal son with your righteousness.
2 他要公義審判你的子民, He will judge your people in righteousness,
公正審判你困苦的百姓. your afflicted ones with justice.
3 大山帶給百姓繁榮昌盛, The mountains will bring prosperity to the people,
小山帶給他們公義果實. the hills the fruit of righteousness.
4 他要護衛民中困苦的人, He will defend the afflicted among the people
還要拯救窮苦人的孩子; and save the children of the needy;
全力撲滅欺壓百姓的人. he will crush the oppressor.
5 他必如日月長存, He will endure as long as the sun,
直到萬代. as long as the moon, through all generations.
6 又像甘霖降沃土, He will be like rain falling on a mown field,
滋潤大地. like showers watering the earth.
7 在他的日子, 義人興旺; In his days the righteous will flourish;
繁榮昌盛, 如月長存. prosperity will abound till the moon is no more.
8 他掌權統治, 從近海直到遠洋; He will rule from sea to sea
從大河直達地極. and from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 曠野之民必向他下拜, The desert tribes will bow before him
他的仇敵必舌舔塵土. and his enemies will lick the dust.
10 他施和遠方君王, 要向他進貢; kings of Tarshish and of distant shores will bring tribute to him;

和孤立無助的困苦百姓. the afflicted who have no one to help.
13 他憐恤軟弱貧窮的人, He will take pity on the weak and the needy
並拯救窮人脫離死亡. and save the needy from death.
14 他拯救他們脫離欺壓和強暴; He will rescue them from oppression and violence,
因在他眼中他們的血至寶貴. for precious is their blood in his sight.
15 願他延年益壽! Long may he live!
願示巴的金子獻給他. may gold from Sheba be given him.
願百姓不住為他禱告, may people ever pray for him
並且終日都為他祝福. and bless him all day long.
16 願地上五穀豐登, Let grain abound throughout the land;
山頂上穀實搖曳; on the top of the hills may it sway.
果實滿盈如黎巴嫩林木, let its fruit flourish like Lebanon;
人丁興旺有如野地青草. let it thrive like the grass of the field.
17 願他的名永遠長存, May his name endure forever;
延續流傳如日恆久; may it continue as long as the sun.
願萬國都因他蒙福, All nations will be blessed through him,
萬民都因稱他得福. and they will call him blessed.
18 獨行奇事的耶和華以色列的神, Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Isreal,
