Psalms |
| 1達味詩歌，交與樂官。 |
1 For the leader. A psalm of David. |
| 2我熱切誠懇地期待了上主，他便垂顧俯聽了我的哀訴。 |
2I waited, waited for the LORD; who bent down and heard my cry, |
| 3他把我從禍坑與污泥中救出，放我在磐石上，穩定我的腳步。 |
3Drew me out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud of the swamp, Set my feet upon rock, steadied my steps, |
| 4他將新歌置於我口，為讚美我們的天主；眾人見了起敬起畏，都將全心信賴上主。 |
4 And put a new song in my mouth, a hymn to our God. Many shall look on in awe and they shall trust in the LORD. |
| 5凡全心依靠上主，不對傲慢傾慕，且又不依附虛偽的，這人真有福！ |
5Happy those whose trust is the LORD, who turn not to idolatry or to those who stray after falsehood. |
| 6上主，我的天主！你行的奇蹟異事，真令人不知幾許！你對我們的計劃，無人能與你相輔，我縱願宣揚申述，也多得不可勝數。 |
6How numerous, O LORD, my God, you have made your wondrous deeds! And in your plans for us there is none to equal you. Should I wish to declare or tell them, too many are they to recount. |
| 7犧牲與素祭已非你所喜，就開了我的耳朵；全燔之祭以及贖罪之祭，也巳非你所要。 |
7 sacrifice and offering you do not want; but ears open to obedience you gave me. Holocausts and sin-offerings you do not require; |
| 8於是我說：「你看，我已到來！關於我，書卷上已有記載： |
8so I said, "Here I am; your commands for me are written in the scroll. |
| 9我的天主，承行你的旨意為我所喜愛，你的法律常存於我的心懷。」 |
9To do your will is my delight; my God, your law is in my heart!" |
| 10在盛大的集會中，我宣揚了你的正義，看，我並沒有閉口不言，上主，你全知悉。 |
10I announced your deed to a great assembly; I did not restrain my lips; you, LORD, are my witness. |
| 11我從沒有將你的正義隱蔽在心間，對你的忠厚和救援時時各處宣傳；對於你的慈愛和忠義，在盛會中我沒有隱蔽， |
11Your deed I did not hide within my heart; your loyal deliverance I have proclaimed. I made no secret of your enduring kindness to a great assembly. |
| 12上主，求你對我不要撤回你的憐憫，願你的慈愛和忠誠對我時加保存。 |
12LORD, do not withhold your compassion from me; may your enduring kindness ever preserve me. |
| 13因為，四周困迫我的災禍，實在不可勝數；我的罪過緊握着我，使我無法目睹；數目比我頭髮還多，真使我心痛苦。 |
13For all about me are evils beyond count; my sins so overcome me I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head; my courage fails me. |
| 14上主，求你開恩救我，上主，求你速來助我。 |
14LORD, graciously rescue me! Come quickly to help me, LORD! |
| 15願那些謀圖殺害我的人，一同蒙恥受辱，願那些喜歡我遭難的人，一起含羞退走！ |
15Put to shame and confound all who seek to take my life. Turn back in disgrace those who desire my ruin. |
| 16願那些哈哈戲笑我的人，都滿面羞慚地驚惶失神！ |
16Let those who say "Aha!" know dismay and shame. |
| 17願那些尋求你的人，都因你歡欣鼓舞，願戀慕你救恩的人，都常說：「大哉上主！」 |
17But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. May those who long for your help always say, "The LORD be glorified." |
| 18我雖然卑微貧苦，我主卻對我眷顧；你是我的助佑，我的救援，我的天主，求你不要遲延。 |
18Though I am afflicted and poor, the Lord keeps me in mind. You are my help and deliverer; my God, do not delay! |
