Psalms |
| 1達味的聖詠，交與樂官。我所讚美的天主，求你別緘口不語！ |
1 For the leader. A psalm of David. |
| 2因為邪惡欺詐的口，已經張開攻擊我，騙人說謊的舌頭，也已經出言陷害我， |
2O God, whom I praise, do not be silent, for wicked and treacherous mouths attack me. They speak against me with lying tongues; |
| 3以毒恨的言語四面抨擊我，又無緣無故地興訟毀謗我。 |
3with hateful words they surround me, attacking me without cause. |
| 4他們誣告我，以報我的友愛；然而我卻為他們祈禱不懈； |
4In return for my love they slander me, even though I prayed for them. |
| 5他們以惡心回報我的善心，他們用恨情還報我的愛情。 |
5They repay me evil for good, hatred for my love. My enemies say of me: |
| 6求你派一惡人向他們攻訐，叫控告者站在他的右邊。 |
6 "Find a lying witness, an accuser to stand by his right hand, |
| 7使他受審時，被判為罪犯，使他的辯護，仍構成罪案。 |
7That he may be judged and found guilty, that his plea may be in vain. |
| 8願你縮短他的年歲，讓人取去他的職位。 |
8May his days be few; may another take his office. |
| 9使他的子女盡成孤獨，使他的妻子流為寡婦， |
9May his children be fatherless, his wife, a widow. |
| 10使他的子孫流離失所，沿門乞食，使他由殘破的家室裏，被人逐離。 |
10May his children be vagrant beggars, driven from their hovels. |
| 11使債主搜刮他所有的家產，使外人劫掠他勞力的所賺。 |
11May the usurer snare all he owns, strangers plunder all he earns. |
| 12誰也不要向他施行仁慈，誰也不要憐憫他的孤兒； |
12May no one treat him kindly or pity his fatherless children. |
| 13願他的後裔全被斬盡滅絕，他們的姓名被塗抹於後代。 |
13May his posterity be destroyed, his name cease in the next generation. |
| 14願上主紀念他父親的罪愆，總不要赦免他母親的過犯； |
14May the LORD remember his fathers' guilt; his mother's sin not be canceled. |
| 15叫那些罪永留在上主前，從地上除去他們的記念。 |
15May their guilt be always before the LORD, till their memory is banished from the earth, |
| 16因為他們總不想施恩行善，但知道迫害弱小和貧賤，連心靈破碎的人也摧殘。 |
16For he did not remember to show kindness, but hounded the wretched poor and brought death to the brokenhearted. |
| 17他既喜愛詛咒，願詛咒臨於他！他既不愛祝福，願祝福遠離他！ |
17He loved cursing; may it come upon him; he hated blessing; may none come to him. |
| 18他以詛咒為自己的衣帶，詛咒如水浸入他的五內，更像脂油滲透他的骨骸， |
18May cursing clothe him like a robe; may it enter his belly like water, seep into his bones like oil. |
| 19好像衣服遮蔽了他，好似皮帶纏住了他。 |
19May it be near as the clothes he wears, as the belt always around him." |
| 20凡控告我並惡言誹謗我的人，願他們由上主獲得這些報應。 |
20 May the LORD bring all this upon my accusers, upon those who speak evil against me. |
| 21然而上主，為了你的名，求你善待我，天主，按照你的仁愛和善良，拯救我！ |
21But you, LORD, my God, deal kindly with me for your name's sake; in your great mercy rescue me. |
| 22我原來貧窮可憐，我的心傷痛悲慘； |
22For I am sorely in need; my heart is pierced within me. |
| 23我像夕陽殘影漸漸消逝，我被人驅除又與蝗蟲相似。 |
23Like a lengthening shadow I near my end, all but swept away like the locust. |
| 24我的雙膝因齋戒而酸軟，我的肉體已經消瘦不堪。 |
24My knees totter from fasting; my flesh has wasted away. |
| 25我竟成了他們的笑柄，看見我的人頭搖齒冷。 |
25I have become a mockery to them; when they see me, they shake their heads. |
| 26上主，我的天主，求你扶助我，求你按着你的慈愛拯救我， |
26Help me, LORD, my God; save me in your kindness. |
| 27讓人們知道這是你手的工程，上主，的確這是你的所作所行。 |
27Make them know this is your hand, that you, LORD, have acted. |
| 28任憑他們詛咒，惟願你予以祝福，叫你僕人歡喜，使我的仇敵蒙羞。 |
28Though they curse, may you bless; shame my foes, that your servant may rejoice. |
| 29叫誣告我的人滿被凌辱，他們蒙受羞恥，如披氅裘。 |
29Clothe my accusers with disgrace; make them wear shame like a mantle. |
| 30我要親口向上主歌頌，要讚美他在億萬人中。 |
30I will give fervent thanks to the LORD; before all I will praise my God. |
| 31因他站在窮苦人的右邊，拯救他脫離定罪的裁判。 |
31For God stands at the right hand of the poor to defend them against unjust accusers. |
