诗篇 第 31 篇

¹（大卫的诗，交与伶长。）耶和华啊，我投靠你；求你使我永不羞愧；凭你的公义搭救我！In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

²求你侧耳而听，快快救我！作我坚固的磐石，拯救我的保障！Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

³因为你是我的岩石，我的山寨；所以，求你为你名的缘故引导我，指点我。For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.

⁴求你救我脱离人为我暗设的网罗，因为你是我的保障。Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

⁵我将我的灵魂交在你手里；耶和华诚实的神啊，你救赎了我。Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

⁶我恨恶那信奉虚无之神的人；我却倚靠耶和华。I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

⁷我要为你的慈爱高兴欢喜；因为你见过我的困苦，知道我心中的艰难。I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

⁸你未曾把我交在仇敌手里；你使我的脚站在宽阔之处。And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

⁹耶和华啊，求你怜恤我，因为我在急难之中；我的眼睛因忧愁而干瘪，连我的身心也不安舒。Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

¹⁰我的生命为愁苦所消耗；我的年岁为叹息所旷废。我的力量因我的罪孽衰败；我的骨头也枯干。For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

¹¹我因一切敌人成了羞辱，在我的邻舍跟前更甚；那认识我的都惧怕我，在外头看见我的都躲避我。I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

¹²我被人忘记，如同死人，无人记念；我好像破碎的器皿。I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

¹³我听见了许多人的谗谤，四围都是惊吓；他们一同商议攻击我的时候，就图谋要害我的性命。For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

¹⁴耶和华啊，我仍旧倚靠你；我说：你是我的神。But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

¹⁵我终身的事在你手中；求你救我脱离仇敌的手和那些逼迫我的人。My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

¹⁶求你使你的脸光照仆人，凭你的慈爱拯救我。Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.

¹⁷耶和华啊，求你叫我不致羞愧，因为我曾呼吁你；求你使恶人羞愧，使他们在阴间缄默无声。Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

¹⁸那撒谎的人逞骄傲轻慢，出狂妄的话攻击义人；愿他的嘴哑而无言。Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

¹⁹敬畏你、投靠你的人，你为他们所积存的，在世人面前所施行的恩惠是何等大呢！Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

²⁰你必把他们藏在你面前的隐密处，免得遇见人的计谋；你必暗暗地保守他们在亭子里，免受口舌的争闹。Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

²¹耶和华是应当称颂的，因为他在坚固城里向我施展奇妙的慈爱。Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

²²至于我，我曾急促地说：我从你眼前被隔绝。然而，我呼求你的时候，你仍听我恳求的声音。For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

²³耶和华的圣民哪，你们都要爱他！耶和华保护诚实人，足足报应行事骄傲的人。O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

²⁴凡仰望耶和华的人，你们都要壮胆，坚固你们的心！Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
