詩篇 109
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
患難中的苦訴
大衛的詩歌，交給樂長。
109 我所讚美的上帝啊，
求你不要沉默不語。
2 因為邪惡和詭詐的人開口攻擊我，
用謊言譭謗我。
3 他們惡言惡語地圍著我，
無緣無故地攻擊我。
4 我愛他們，他們卻控告我，
但我為他們禱告。
5 他們對我以惡報善，
以恨報愛。
6 求你差惡人攻擊我的仇敵，
派人站在他右邊控告他。
7 當他受審時，
願他被判為有罪，
他的禱告也算為罪過。
8 願他的年日短少，
願別人取代他的職位。
9 願他的孩子失去父親，
妻子成為寡婦。
10 願他的孩子流浪行乞，
被趕出自己破敗的家。
11 願債主奪取他所有的財產，
陌生人搶走他的勞動成果。
12 願無人向他施恩，
無人同情他的孤兒。
13 願他斷子絕孫，
他的姓氏傳不到下一代。
14 願耶和華記住他祖輩的罪惡，
不除去他母親的罪過。
15 願耶和華永不忘記他的罪惡，
把他從世上剷除。
16 因為他毫無仁慈，
迫害困苦、貧窮和傷心的人，
置他們於死地。
17 他喜歡咒詛人，
願咒詛臨到他；
他不喜歡祝福人，
願祝福遠離他。
18 他咒詛成性，
願咒詛如水侵入他的身體，
如油浸透他的骨頭。
19 願咒詛不離其身，
如同身上的衣服和腰間的帶子。
20 願耶和華這樣報應那些誣告我，
以惡言攻擊我的人。
21 主耶和華啊，
求你因自己的名恩待我，
因你的美善和慈愛拯救我。
22 因為我貧窮困苦，
內心飽受創傷。
23 我像黃昏的日影一樣消逝，
如蝗蟲一般被抖落。
24 禁食使我雙腿發軟，
瘦骨嶙峋。
25 仇敵都嘲笑我，
他們看見我就連連搖頭。
26 我的上帝耶和華啊，
求你幫助我，施慈愛拯救我，
27 讓他們都看見這是你耶和華的作為。
28 任憑他們咒詛吧，
你必賜福給我。
攻擊我的人必蒙羞，
你的僕人必歡喜。
29 願誣告我的人滿面羞辱，
無地自容。
30 我要竭力頌揚耶和華，
在眾人面前讚美祂。
31 因為祂保護貧窮的人，
拯救他們脫離置他們於死地的人。
Psalm 109

Psalm 109
Deceitful Men Have Opened Their Mouths
Heading
For the choir director. By David. A psalm.
The Problem and the Prayer
1 O God whom I praise, do not be silent,
2 because they have opened wicked, deceitful mouths against me.
They have spoken against me with lying tongues.
3 They surround me with hateful words.
They attack me without cause.
4 In return for my love they accuse me,
but I am a man of prayer.[a]
5 They repay me with evil for good,
with hatred for my love.
The Curse
6 Appoint an evil one to testify against him,
and let an accuser[b] stand at his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and let his prayer be sin.
8 Let his days be few.
Let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children always wander and beg.
Let them seek food far from their ruined homes.[c]
11 Let a creditor confiscate all he has.
Let strangers plunder everything he worked for.
12 Let there be no one to extend mercy to him.
Let there be no one to show favor to his fatherless children.
13 Let his descendants be cut off.
In the next generation let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the guilt of his fathers be remembered before the Lord.
Let the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 Let their sins remain before the Lord continually,
and let the memory of these people be cut off from the earth.
16 Because he did not remember to show mercy,
but he pursued the poor man and the needy
and the brokenhearted to put them to death.
17 Since he loved cursing, so let it fall on him.
He found no pleasure in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 Since he wore cursing as his clothing,
let it enter into his stomach like water
and into his bones like oil.
19 Let it be like a garment wrapped around him,
like a belt tied around him forever.
20 May the Lord do all this to my accusers
and to those who speak evil against my life.
Prayer for Help
21 But you, Lord God, deal with me for the sake of your name.
Because of the goodness of your mercy, deliver me.
22 For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is wounded[d] within me.
23 Like a shadow after it lengthens, I go away.
I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees give way from fasting,
and my flesh has become lean, without fat.
25 But I—I am scorned by them.
They see me. They shake their heads.
26 Help me, O Lord my God.
Save me according to your mercy.
27 Let them know that this is your hand.
You, O Lord, have done it.
28 They may curse, but you will bless.
They rose up, but they will be put to shame.
Then your servant will rejoice.
29 My accusers will be dressed with disgrace.
Their shame will wrap around them like a robe.
Closing Praise
30 With my mouth I will keep on thanking the Lord.
In the midst of many people I will praise him.
31 For the Lord stands at the right hand of the needy,
to save his life from those who condemn him.
