詩篇 71
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
一個老年人的祈禱
71 耶和華啊，我投靠了你，
求你使我永不蒙羞。
2 求你憑公義搭救我，
側耳聽我的懇求，拯救我。
3 求你成為保護我的磐石，
讓我可以隨時投靠你。
求你下令救我，
因為你是我的磐石和堡壘。
4 我的上帝啊，
求你從惡人手中拯救我，
從邪惡、殘暴之徒掌下拯救我。
5 主耶和華啊，你是我的盼望，
我從小就信靠你。
6 你使我出了母胎，
我從出生就依靠你，
我要永遠讚美你。
7 我的遭遇使許多人感到驚駭，
但你是我堅固的避難所。
8 我口中充滿對你的讚美，
終日述說你的榮耀。
9 我年老時，求你不要丟棄我；
我體力衰微時，求你不要離棄我。
10 我的仇敵議論我，
那些想殺害我的一起策劃陰謀，說：
11 「上帝已經丟棄了他。
去追趕、捉拿他吧，
因為無人會救他。」
12 上帝啊，不要遠離我；
我的上帝啊，求你快來幫助我！
13 願我的仇敵在羞辱中滅亡，
願那些害我的人抱愧蒙羞。
14 我必常常心懷盼望，
向你獻上更多的讚美。
15 雖然我無法測度你的公義和拯救之恩，
但我要終日傳揚你的作為。
16 主耶和華啊，
我要傳揚你大能的作為，
單單述說你的公義。
17 上帝啊，
我從小就受你的教導，
直到今日我仍傳揚你奇妙的作為。
18 上帝啊，
就是我年老髮白的時候，
求你也不要丟棄我，
好讓我把你的大能告訴下一代，世代相傳。
19 上帝啊，你的公義高達穹蒼，
你成就了奇妙大事。
上帝啊，有誰能像你？
20 你使我經歷了許多患難，
最終必使我重獲新生，
救我脫離死亡的深淵。
21 你必賜我更大的尊榮，
你必再次安慰我。
22 我的上帝啊，
我要彈琴讚美你的信實；
以色列的聖者啊，
我要伴隨著琴聲讚美你。
23 你救贖了我的靈魂，
我的口和靈魂都要歡呼歌頌你。
24 我要終日向人述說你的公義，
因為那些想害我的人已經蒙羞受辱。

Psalm 71
God’s Help in Old Age
1 Lord, I seek refuge in you;
let me never be disgraced.(A)
2 In your justice, rescue and deliver me;
listen closely to me and save me.(B)
3 Be a rock of refuge for me,
where I can always go.
Give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and fortress.(C)
4 Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.(D)
5 For you are my hope, Lord God,
my confidence from my youth.(E)
6 I have leaned on you from birth;
you took me from my mother’s womb.(F)
My praise is always about you.(G)
7 I am like a miraculous sign to many,
and you are my strong refuge.(H)
8 My mouth is full of praise
and honor to you all day long.(I)
9 Don’t discard me in my old age.
As my strength fails, do not abandon me.(J)
10 For my enemies talk about me,
and those who spy on me plot together,(K)
11 saying, “God has abandoned him;
chase him and catch him,
for there is no one to rescue him.”(L)
12 God, do not be far from me;
my God, hurry to help me.(M)
13 May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed;
may those who intend to harm me
be covered with disgrace and humiliation.(N)
14 But I will hope continually
and will praise you more and more.(O)
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness
and your salvation all day long,
though I cannot sum them up.(P)
16 I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God;
I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.(Q)
17 God, you have taught me from my youth,
and I still proclaim your wondrous works.(R)
18 Even while I am old and gray,
God, do not abandon me,(S)
while I proclaim your power
to another generation,
your strength to all who are to come.(T)
19 Your righteousness reaches the heights, God,
you who have done great things;
God, who is like you?(U)
20 You caused me to experience
many troubles and misfortunes,(V)
but you will revive me again.(W)
You will bring me up again,
even from the depths of the earth.(X)
21 You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again.(Y)
22 Therefore, I will praise you with a harp
for your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing to you with a lyre,
Holy One of Israel.(Z)
23 My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you
because you have redeemed me.(AA)
24 Therefore, my tongue will proclaim
your righteousness all day long,
for those who intend to harm me
will be disgraced and confounded.(AB)
Psalm 71
King James Version
71 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.
6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
