诗篇 102
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
患难中的祈祷
受苦之人的祷告,在疲惫不堪时向耶和华的倾诉。
102 耶和华啊,求你听我的祷告,
垂听我的呼求!
2 我在危难的时候,
求你不要掩面不理我。
求你垂听我的呼求,
赶快应允我。
3 我的年日如烟消散,
我全身如火焚烧。
4 我的心被摧残,如草枯萎,
以致我不思饮食。
5 我因哀叹而瘦骨嶙峋。
6 我就像旷野中的鸮鸟,
又像废墟中的猫头鹰。
7 我无法入睡,
我就像屋顶上一只孤伶伶的麻雀。
8 我的仇敌终日辱骂我,
嘲笑我的用我的名字咒诅人。
9 我以炉灰为食物,
眼泪拌着水喝,
10 因为你向我大发烈怒,
把我抓起来丢在一边。
11 我的生命就像黄昏的影子,
又如枯干的草芥。
12 耶和华啊!唯有你永远做王,
你的大名万代长存。
13 你必怜悯锡安,
因为现在是你恩待她的时候了,时候到了。
14 你的仆人们喜爱城中的石头,
怜惜城中的尘土。
15 列国敬畏耶和华的名,
世上的君王都因祂的荣耀而战抖。
16 因为耶和华必重建锡安,
带着荣耀显现。
17 祂必垂听穷人的祷告,
不藐视他们的祈求。
18 要为后代记下这一切,
好让将来的人赞美耶和华。
19 耶和华从至高的圣所俯视人间,
从天上察看大地,
20 要垂听被囚之人的哀叹,
释放被判死刑的人。
21-22 这样,万族万国聚集、敬拜
耶和华时,
人们必在锡安传扬祂的名,
在耶路撒冷赞美祂。
23 祂使我未老先衰,
缩短了我的岁月。
24 我说:“我的上帝啊,
你世代长存,
求你不要叫我中年早逝。
25 太初你奠立大地的根基,
亲手创造诸天。
26 天地都要消亡,
但你永远长存。
天地都会像外衣渐渐破旧,
你必更换天地,如同更换衣服,
天地都要消逝。
27 但你永远不变,
你的年日永无穷尽。
28 你仆人的后代必生生不息,
在你面前安然居住。”
Psalm 102
American Standard Version
Prayer of an afflicted one for mercy on himself and on Zion.
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he [a]is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.
102 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah,
And let my cry come unto thee.
2 Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress:
Incline thine ear unto me;
In the day when I call answer me speedily.
3 For my days consume away [b]like smoke,
And my bones are burned [c]as a firebrand.
4 My heart is smitten like grass, and withered;
For I forget to eat my bread.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning
My bones cleave to my flesh.
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness;
I am become as an owl of the waste places.
7 I watch, and am become like a sparrow
That is alone upon the house-top.
8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day;
They that are mad against me do curse by me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And mingled my drink with weeping,
10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath:
For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
11 My days are like a shadow that [d]declineth;
And I am withered like grass.
12 But thou, O Jehovah, [e]wilt abide for ever;
And thy memorial name unto all generations.
13 Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion;
For it is time to have pity upon her,
Yea, the set time is come.
14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones,
And have pity upon her dust.
15 So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah,
And all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16 For Jehovah hath built up Zion;
He hath appeared in his glory.
17 He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute,
And hath not despised their prayer.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come;
And a people which shall be created shall praise [f]Jehovah.
19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary;
From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;
20 To hear the sighing of the prisoner;
To loose [g]those that are appointed to death;
21 That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion,
And his praise in Jerusalem;
22 When the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
23 He [h]weakened my strength in the way;
He shortened my days.
24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days:
Thy years are throughout all generations.
25 Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth;
And the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure;
Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment;
As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
27 But thou art the same,
And thy years shall have no end.
28 The children of thy servants shall continue,
And their seed shall be established before thee.
