聖詠集 Psalms
1達味紀念歌。 1 A psalm of David. For remembrance.
2上主,求你不要在你的震怒中責罰我,求你不要在你的氣憤中懲戒我。 2LORD, punish me no more in your anger; in your wrath do not chastise me!
3因為你的箭射中了我,你的手重壓了我。 3Your arrows have sunk deep in me; your hand has come down upon me.
4因了你的盛怒,我已體無完膚;因了我的罪行,我已粉身碎骨。 4My flesh is afflicted because of your anger; my frame aches because of my sin.
5因為我的罪過高出我的頭頂,好似重擔把我壓得過分沉重。 5My iniquities overwhelm me, a burden beyond my strength.
6我的瘡痍潰爛流膿,完全由於我的愚矇。 6Foul and festering are my sores because of my folly.
7我悲傷得身已傴僂,終日行動滿懷憂愁。 7I am stooped and deeply bowed; all day I go about mourning.
8因為我的腰肢焦灼難受,我的肉體已無完膚。 8My loins burn with fever; my flesh is afflicted.
9我已筋疲力盡,奄奄一息;我已心痛欲絕,嗟歎不已。 9I am numb and utterly crushed; I wail with anguish of heart.
10我主,我的呻吟常在你的面前,我的悲歎不會向你隱瞞; 10My Lord, my deepest yearning is before you; my groaning is not hidden from you.
11我的心顫慄,我的精力衰退,我眼目的光明也已經消逝。 11My heart shudders, my strength forsakes me; the very light of my eyes has failed.
12我遭難時,我的友朋都袖手旁觀,我的親人都站得很遠。 12Friends and companions shun my pain; my neighbors stand far off.
13追尋我命的人,張設網羅,設法害我的人,散佈惡謨,他們要行詭計日夜思索。 13Those who seek my life lay snares for me; they seek my misfortune, they speak of ruin; they plot treachery all the day.
14但我好像是一個有耳聽不見的聾子,我又好像是一個有口不能言的啞吧。 14But I am like the deaf, hearing nothing, like the dumb, saying nothing,
15我竟成了一個沒有聽覺的人,成了一個口中沒有辯詞的人。 15Like someone who does not hear, who has no answer ready.
16因為我惟有仰望你,上主,你必應允我,我主我天主! 16LORD, I wait for you; O Lord, my God, answer me.
17我原來說過:「不要讓他們洋洋得意,不要讓他們因我的失足而沾沾自喜。」 17For I fear they will gloat, exult over me if I stumble.
18我生來就易於失足,因此我常心懷痛苦。 18I am very near to falling; my pain is with me always.
19我的確承認我犯了罪愆,我為了我的過惡而憂慚。 19I acknowledge my guilt and grieve over my sin.
20無故加害我的人,力強兇暴,無理憎恨我的人,成群結伙; 20But many are my foes without cause, a multitude of enemies without reason,
21他們以怨報德而對待我,因我追求正義而惱恨我。 21Repaying me evil for good, harassing me for pursuing good.
22上主,求你不要捨棄我,我主,求你不要遠離我。 22Forsake me not, O LORD; my God, be not far from me!
23我的上主,我的救助,求你速來給我護佑。 23Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my salvation!
