Psalms |
| 1受壓迫者在憂心悲愁時，向上主訴苦訴怨的祈禱。 |
1 The prayer of one afflicted and wasting away whose anguish is poured out before the LORD. |
| 2上主，求你允我的祈求，願我的呼聲上達於你！ |
2LORD, hear my prayer; let my cry come to you. |
| 3在我蒙難的時日，求你不要掩面迴避我，我呼號你時，求你側耳聽我，迅速俯允我。 |
3Do not hide your face from me now that I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly. |
| 4因為我的日月消散如雲煙，我的骨骸枯焦如火煎。 |
4For my days vanish like smoke; my bones burn away as in a furnace. |
| 5我的心憔悴得像枯草一般，因此我也忘記了吃我的飯。 |
5I am withered, dried up like grass, too wasted to eat my food. |
| 6因為我哀傷得過度，我已僅是皮包骨頭。 |
6From my loud groaning I become just skin and bones. |
| 7我好像成了曠野中的淘河，我又像成了廢墟中的鴟鴞； |
7I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins. |
| 8整夜不眠，獨自哀號，像屋頂的孤零小鳥。 |
8I lie awake and moan, like a lone sparrow on the roof. |
| 9我的仇敵常不停地辱罵我，對我猖狂的人，指名詛咒我； |
9 All day long my enemies taunt me; in their rage, they make my name a curse. |
| 10我吃灰塵當食糧，我喝涕淚當水湯； |
10I eat ashes like bread, mingle my drink with tears. |
| 11為了你的義憤與震怒，你把我舉起，將我拋去。 |
11Because of your furious wrath, you lifted me up just to cast me down. |
| 12我的日月像傾斜的陰影，我的本身好像禾草枯零。 |
12My days are like a lengthening shadow; I wither like the grass. |
| 13然而上主，你卻永遠常在，你的名萬世萬代也不衰。 |
13But you, LORD, are enthroned forever; your renown is for all generations. |
| 14求你起來，願你寬赦熙雍，因憐憫她的時日已來臨。 |
14You will again show mercy to Zion; now is the time for pity; the appointed time has come. |
| 15因你的眾僕愛惜她的石頭，他們也念念不忘她的廢墟。 |
15Its stones are dear to your servants; its dust moves them to pity. |
| 16上主，萬民必敬畏你的聖名，普世列王必敬畏你的光榮。 |
16The nations shall revere your name, LORD, all the kings of the earth, your glory, |
| 17因為上主必定要重建熙雍，且要顯現於自己的光榮中。 |
17Once the LORD has rebuilt Zion and appeared in glory, |
| 18他必垂顧窮苦人的祈禱，也決不拒絕他們的哀號。 |
18Heeding the plea of the lowly, not scorning their prayer. |
| 19應將此寫出流傳給後世，叫新生的人民讚美上主。 |
19Let this be written for the next generation, for a people not yet born, that they may praise the LORD: |
| 20因上主由至高聖所俯視，由高天之上垂顧人間世， |
20 "The LORD looked down from the holy heights, viewed the earth from heaven, |
| 21為傾聽俘虜的哀嘆，為釋放待斃的囚犯， |
21To attend to the groaning of the prisoners, to release those doomed to die." |
| 22為在熙雍傳述上主的聖名，在耶路撒冷宣揚他的光榮。 |
22Then the LORD'S name will be declared on Zion, the praise of God in Jerusalem, |
| 23那時萬民都要聚集在一處，諸邦列國也要來朝拜上主。 |
23When all peoples and kingdoms gather to worship the LORD. |
| 24他在中途將我的力量消減，將我的歲月縮短； |
24God has shattered my strength in mid-course, has cut short my days. |
| 25我說：我天主，莫讓我中年夭折，但願你的歲月永留萬世萬代。 |
25 I plead, O my God, do not take me in the midst of my days. Your years last through all generations. |
| 26在起初你奠定了下地，上天也是你手的功績。 |
26Of old you laid the earth's foundations; the heavens are the work of your hands. |
| 27天地必要毀滅，而你永遠存在，萬物必要如同衣裳一樣衰敗，有如衣服更換，都要新陳代謝； |
27They perish, but you remain; they all wear out like a garment; Like clothing you change them and they are changed, |
| 28但是你卻永存不變，你的壽命無盡無限。 |
28but you are the same, your years have no end. |
| 29願你僕人的子女居家安康，願他們的子孫在你前永昌。 |
29May the children of your servants live on; may their descendants live in your presence. |
