聖詠集 Psalms
1阿撒夫的詩歌。天主,異民侵入了你的遺產,褻瀆了你的聖殿,使耶路撒冷覆顛; 1A psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have invaded your heritage; they have defiled your holy temple, have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
2並將你眾僕人的屍首,給天空的飛鳥做食物,用你聖徒的肉餵野獸。 2They have left the corpses of your servants as food for the birds of the heavens, the flesh of your faithful for the beasts of the earth.
3在耶路撒冷四周血如水流,但出來埋葬的人一個也無。 3They have spilled their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and no one is left to bury them.
4我們竟成為我們鄰居的恥辱,作了我們四周的譏諷與玩物。 4We have become the reproach of our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.
5上主,你經常發怒,要到何時,你怒燄如火,要到何時? 5How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your rage keep burning like fire?
6求你向那不承認你的異民,及不呼號你名的列國洩憤, 6Pour out your wrath on nations that reject you, on kingdoms that do not call on your name,
7因為他們吞併了雅各伯家族,並蹂躪了他的住處。 7For they have devoured Jacob, laid waste his home.
8求你別向我們追討祖先的惡行,以你的仁慈速來協助我們,因為我們實在是可憐萬分。 8Do not hold past iniquities against us; may your compassion come quickly, for we have been brought very low.
9天主,我們的救主,為你名的光榮,協助我們,為了你的聖名,寬赦我們的罪過,拯救我們! 9Help us, God our savior, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, pardon our sins for your name's sake.
10為何讓異民說:「他們的天主何處去了?」願我們在異民中能親眼看到,你僕人流出的血,要得的酬報! 10Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our eyes make clear to the nations that you avenge the blood of your servants.
11願囚徒的哀歎上達你面前,按你手臂的能力解放死犯! 11Let the groans of prisoners come before you; by your great power free those doomed to death.
12天主,求你將我們四鄰加給你的凌辱,向他們的胸懷裏投以七倍報復! 12Lord, inflict on our neighbors seven fold the disgrace they inflicted on you.
13這樣做你子民做你牧場羊群的我們,能永遠稱謝你,能萬世宣揚你的光榮。 13Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; through all ages we will declare your praise.
