诗篇 102
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
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。
2 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。
3 因為我的年日好像煙一般消散；
我的骨頭燒焦像爐中的炭。
4 我的心受創傷，
好像草一般枯乾，
以致我連飯也忘了吃。
5 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”）。
6 我像曠野的鵜鶘，
又像廢墟裡的貓頭鷹。
7 我躺在床上警醒著，
就像屋頂上孤單的麻雀。
8 我的仇敵終日辱罵我；
嘲弄我的指著我賭咒。
9 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

102 A prayer when overwhelmed with trouble.
Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea!
2 Don’t turn away from me in this time of my distress. Bend down your ear and give me speedy answers, 3-4 for my days disappear like smoke. My health is broken, and my heart is sick; it is trampled like grass and is withered. My food is tasteless, and I have lost my appetite. 5 I am reduced to skin and bones because of all my groaning and despair. 6 I am like a vulture in a far-off wilderness or like an owl alone in the desert. 7 I lie awake, lonely as a solitary sparrow on the roof.
8 My enemies taunt me day after day and curse at me. 9-10 I eat ashes instead of bread. My tears run down into my drink because of your anger against me, because of your wrath. For you have rejected me and thrown me out. 11 My life is passing swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering like grass, 12 while you, Lord, are a famous King forever. Your fame will endure to every generation.
13 I know that you will come and have mercy on Jerusalem—and now is the time to pity her—the time you promised help. 14 For your people love every stone in her walls and feel sympathy for every grain of dust in her streets. 15 Now let the nations and their rulers tremble before the Lord, before his glory. 16 For Jehovah will rebuild Jerusalem! He will appear in his glory!
17 He will listen to the prayers of the destitute, for he is never too busy to heed their requests. 18 I am recording this so that future generations will also praise the Lord for all that he has done. And a people that shall be created shall praise the Lord. 19 Tell them that God looked down from his temple in heaven 20 and heard the groans of his people in slavery—they were children of death—and released them, 21-22 so that multitudes would stream to the Temple in Jerusalem to praise him, and his praises were sung throughout the city; and many rulers throughout the earth came to worship him.
23 He has cut me down in middle life, shortening my days. 24 But I cried to him, “O God, you live forever and forever! Don’t let me die halfway through my years! 25 In ages past you laid the foundations of the earth and made the heavens with your hands! 26 They shall perish, but you go on forever. They will grow old like worn-out clothing, and you will change them like a man putting on a new shirt and throwing away the old one! 27 But you yourself never grow old. You are forever, and your years never end.
28 “But our families will continue; generation after generation will be preserved by your protection.”
