在患難中祈求 神解救

困苦人沮喪的時候,在耶和華面前傾吐苦情的禱告。

102 耶和華啊!求你聽我的禱告;

願我的呼求達到你那裡。

我在患難的日子,

求你不要向我掩面;

我呼求的時候,

求你留心聽我,並且迅速應允我。

因為我的年日好像煙一般消散;

我的骨頭燒焦像爐中的炭。

我的心受創傷,

好像草一般枯乾,

以致我連飯也忘了吃。

因我唉哼的聲音,

我就漸漸消瘦(“我就漸漸消瘦”原文作“我的骨頭緊貼著肉”)。

我像曠野的鵜鶘,

又像廢墟裡的貓頭鷹。

我躺在床上警醒著,

就像屋頂上孤單的麻雀。

我的仇敵終日辱罵我;

嘲弄我的指著我賭咒。

我吃爐灰像吃飯一樣;

我所喝的與眼淚混和。

10 這都是因為你的憤恨和烈怒;

你把我舉起來,又把我摔下去。

11 我的年日好像日影偏斜,

我也好像草一般枯乾。

12 耶和華啊!你卻永遠坐著為王,

你可記念的名也必存到萬代。

13 你要起來,憐憫錫安,

因為現在是恩待錫安的時候;

所定的日期已經到了。

14 因為你的眾僕人喜愛它的石頭,

愛惜它的塵土。

15 萬國都必敬畏耶和華的名;

世上列王都敬畏你的榮耀。

16 因為耶和華必建造錫安,

在他自己的榮耀裡顯現。

17 他要垂顧困苦人的禱告,

必不藐視他們的祈求。

18 這些事要記下來,傳給後代,

好使將來出生的人民可以讚美耶和華。

19 因為耶和華從他至高的聖所裡垂看,

從天上觀看大地,

20 為要垂聽被囚的人的歎息,

解救定了死罪的人;

21 使人在錫安傳揚耶和華的名,

在耶路撒冷傳揚讚美他的話。

22 那時,萬民和萬國必一同聚集,

要事奉耶和華。

23 耶和華在我壯年的時候,使我的力量衰弱,

縮短我的年日。

24 所以我說:“我的 神啊!

求你不要使我中年去世,

你的年數萬代無疆。

25 你起初立了地的根基;

天也是你手的工作。

26 天地都要毀滅,你卻長存;

天地都要像衣服一樣漸漸殘舊;

你要更換天地如同更換衣物一樣,

天地就被更換。

27 只有你永不改變,

你的年數也沒有窮盡。

28 你僕人的子孫必安然居住;

他們的後裔必在你面前堅立。”

Psalm 102[a]

A prayer of an afflicted person who has grown weak and pours out a lament before the Lord.

Hear my prayer,(A) Lord;
    let my cry for help(B) come to you.
Do not hide your face(C) from me
    when I am in distress.
Turn your ear(D) to me;
    when I call, answer me quickly.

For my days vanish like smoke;(E)
    my bones(F) burn like glowing embers.
My heart is blighted and withered like grass;(G)
    I forget to eat my food.(H)
In my distress I groan aloud(I)
    and am reduced to skin and bones.
I am like a desert owl,(J)
    like an owl among the ruins.
I lie awake;(K) I have become
    like a bird alone(L) on a roof.
All day long my enemies(M) taunt me;(N)
    those who rail against me use my name as a curse.(O)
For I eat ashes(P) as my food
    and mingle my drink with tears(Q)
10 because of your great wrath,(R)
    for you have taken me up and thrown me aside.
11 My days are like the evening shadow;(S)
    I wither(T) away like grass.

12 But you, Lord, sit enthroned forever;(U)
    your renown endures(V) through all generations.(W)
13 You will arise(X) and have compassion(Y) on Zion,
    for it is time(Z) to show favor(AA) to her;
    the appointed time(AB) has come.
14 For her stones are dear to your servants;
    her very dust moves them to pity.
15 The nations will fear(AC) the name of the Lord,
    all the kings(AD) of the earth will revere your glory.
16 For the Lord will rebuild Zion(AE)
    and appear in his glory.(AF)
17 He will respond to the prayer(AG) of the destitute;
    he will not despise their plea.

18 Let this be written(AH) for a future generation,
    that a people not yet created(AI) may praise the Lord:
19 “The Lord looked down(AJ) from his sanctuary on high,
    from heaven he viewed the earth,
20 to hear the groans of the prisoners(AK)
    and release those condemned to death.”
21 So the name of the Lord will be declared(AL) in Zion
    and his praise(AM) in Jerusalem
22 when the peoples and the kingdoms
    assemble to worship(AN) the Lord.

23 In the course of my life[b] he broke my strength;
    he cut short my days.(AO)
24 So I said:
“Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days;
    your years go on(AP) through all generations.
25 In the beginning(AQ) you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens(AR) are the work of your hands.(AS)
26 They will perish,(AT) but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
    and they will be discarded.
27 But you remain the same,(AU)
    and your years will never end.(AV)
28 The children of your servants(AW) will live in your presence;
    their descendants(AX) will be established before you.”

  2. Psalm 102:23 Or By his power

Prayer of an Afflicted Man for Mercy on Himself and on Zion.

A Prayer of the afflicted when he is weak and [a]pours out his complaint before the Lord.

102 (A)Hear my prayer, Lord!
And let my cry for help (B)come to You.
(C)Do not hide Your face from me on the day of my distress;
(D)Incline Your ear to me;
On the day when I call (E)answer me quickly.
For my days (F)have ended in smoke,
And my (G)bones have been scorched like a hearth.
My heart (H)has been struck like [b]grass and has (I)withered,
Indeed, I (J)forget to eat my bread.
Because of the [c]loudness of my groaning
My (K)bones [d]cling to my flesh.
I resemble a (L)pelican of the wilderness;
I have become like an owl of the ruins.
I (M)lie awake,
I have become like a solitary bird on a housetop.

My enemies (N)have taunted me all day long;
Those who [e](O)deride me [f]have used my name as a (P)curse.
For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And (Q)mixed my drink with weeping
10 (R)Because of Your indignation and Your wrath;
For You have (S)lifted me up and thrown me away.
11 My days are like a [g](T)lengthened shadow,
And [h]I (U)wither away like [i]grass.

12 But You, Lord, [j](V)remain forever,
And Your [k](W)name remains to all generations.
13 You will (X)arise and have (Y)compassion on Zion;
For (Z)it is time to be gracious to her,
For the (AA)appointed time has come.
14 Surely Your servants [l]take pleasure in her stones,
And feel pity for her dust.
15 [m]So the [n](AB)nations will fear the name of the Lord,
And (AC)all the kings of the earth, Your glory.
16 For the Lord has (AD)built up Zion;
He has (AE)appeared in His glory.
17 He has (AF)turned His attention to the prayer of the [o]destitute
And has not despised their prayer.

18 [p]This will be (AG)written for the (AH)generation to come,
[q]That (AI)a people yet to be created [r]may praise [s]the Lord:
19 For He (AJ)looked down from His holy height;
(AK)From heaven the Lord looked [t]upon the earth,
20 To hear the (AL)groaning of the prisoner,
To (AM)set free [u]those who were doomed to death,
21 So that people may (AN)tell of the name of the Lord in Zion,
And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 When (AO)the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

23 He has broken my strength in the way;
He has (AP)shortened my days.
24 I say, “My God, (AQ)do not take me away in the middle of my days,
Your (AR)years are [v]throughout all generations.
25 In time of old You (AS)founded the earth,
And the (AT)heavens are the work of Your hands.
26 [w]Even they will (AU)perish, but You endure;
All of them will wear out like a garment;
Like clothing You will change them and they will pass away.
27 But You are [x](AV)the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.
28 The (AW)children of Your servants will continue,
And their [y](AX)descendants will be established before You.”
