诗篇 22
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
苦难中的呼求和感恩
大卫的诗，交给乐长，调用“朝鹿”。
22 我的上帝，我的上帝，
你为何离弃我？
为何迟迟不来救我，
不听我的哀号呢？
2 我的上帝啊，
我日夜不停地呼求，
你却没有回应。
3 然而，你是圣洁的，
你的宝座设立在以色列人的颂赞之上。
4 我们的祖先信靠你，
他们信靠你，
你就拯救他们。
5 他们向你呼求，
就得到拯救；
他们信靠你，
就不会失望。
6 但我好像不是人，只是一条虫，
受尽人的羞辱和藐视。
7 看见我的人都讥笑我，
他们撇着嘴、摇着头说：
8 “他信靠耶和华，
让耶和华救他吧！
既然耶和华喜悦他，
让耶和华拯救他吧！”
9 耶和华啊，
是你使我从母腹中安然出生，
让我在母亲怀里便倚靠你。
10 我一出生就被交托在你手中，
你从我出母胎就是我的上帝。
11 求你不要远离我，
因为危难当头，无人帮我。
12 我被许多仇敌围困，
他们像巴珊的公牛那样强壮。
13 他们张口要吞噬我，
如同吼叫着撕食猎物的狮子。
14 我的力量如水消逝，
我的骨头都脱了节，
我的心如蜡熔化。
15 我的力量枯竭如焦土，
我的舌头发干紧贴上颚。
你把我放在死亡的尘土中。
16 恶人包围我，犹如一群恶犬，
他们刺伤我的手脚。
17 我身上的骨头历历可见，
人们都幸灾乐祸地看着我。
18 他们分我的外衣，
又为我的内衣抽签。
19 耶和华啊，求你不要远离我。
你是我的力量，
求你快来帮助我。
20 求你救我逃脱刀剑之灾，
从这些恶犬的利爪下拯救我的生命。
21 求你救我脱离狮子的口，
使我脱离野牛的角。
22 我要向众弟兄传扬你的名，
在会众当中赞美你。
23 敬畏耶和华的人啊，
你们都要赞美祂，
雅各的后裔都要尊崇祂的名，
以色列的后裔都要敬畏祂。
24 因为祂没有藐视、厌恶苦难中的人，
也没有掩面不顾他们，
而是垂听他们的呼求。
25 我要在大会中赞美你，
在敬畏你的人面前履行我的誓言。
26 穷苦人必得饱足，
寻求耶和华的人必赞美祂，
他们的心要永远欢欣跳跃。
27 普世都要心系耶和华，归向祂，
各国人民都要敬拜祂。
28 因为耶和华是主宰，
祂统治列国。
29 世上的富贵人要敬拜祂，
必归尘土的世人都要敬拜祂。
30 世世代代的人都要事奉祂，
传扬主所行的奇事。
31 他们也要向未来的世代传讲祂的公义作为。
Psalm 22
King James Version
22 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations.
29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
Psalm 22
Easy-to-Read Version
To the director: To the tune “The Deer of Dawn.”[a] A song of David.
22 My God, my God, why have you left me?
You seem too far away to save me,
too far to hear my cries for help!
2 My God, I kept calling by day,
and I was not silent at night.
But you did not answer me.
3 God, you are the Holy One.
You sit as King upon the praises of Israel.
4 Our ancestors trusted you.
Yes, they trusted you, and you saved them.
5 They called to you for help and escaped their enemies.
They trusted you and were not disappointed!
6 But I feel like a worm, less than human!
People insult me and look down on me.
7 Everyone who sees me makes fun of me.
They shake their heads and stick out their tongues at me.
8 They say, “Call to the Lord for help.
Maybe he will save you.
If he likes you so much, surely he will rescue you!”
9 God, the truth is, you are the one who brought me into this world.
You made me feel safe while I was still at my mother’s breasts.
10 You have been my God since the day I was born.
I was thrown into your arms as I came from my mother’s womb.
11 So don’t leave me!
Trouble is near, and there is no one to help me.
12 My enemies surround me like angry bulls.
They are like the powerful bulls of Bashan, and they are all around me.
13 Their mouths are opened wide,
like a lion roaring and tearing at its prey.
14 My strength is gone,
like water poured out on the ground.
My bones have separated.
My courage is gone.[b]
15 My mouth[c] is as dry as a piece of baked pottery.
My tongue is sticking to the roof of my mouth.
You have left me dying in the dust.
16 The “dogs” are all around me—
a pack[d] of evil people has trapped me.
They have pierced my hands and feet.[e]
17 I can see each one of my bones.
My enemies are looking at me;
they just keep staring.
18 They divide my clothes among themselves,
and they throw lots for what I am wearing.
19 Lord, don’t leave me!
You are my strength—hurry and help me!
20 Save me from the sword.
Save my precious life from these dogs.
21 Rescue me from the lion’s mouth.
Protect me from the horns of the bulls.[f]
22 I will tell my people about you.
I will praise you in the great assembly.
23 Praise the Lord, all you who worship him!
Honor him, you descendants of Jacob!
Fear and respect him, all you people of Israel!
24 He does not ignore those who need help.
He does not hate them.
He does not turn away from them.
He listens when they cry for help.
25 Lord, because of you I offer praise in the great assembly.
In front of all these worshipers I will do all that I promised.
26 Poor people, come eat and be satisfied.[g]
You who have come looking for the Lord, praise him!
May your hearts be happy[h] forever.
27 May those in faraway countries remember the Lord and come back to him.
May those in distant lands worship him,
28 because the Lord is the King.
He rules all nations.
29 The people have eaten all they wanted
and bowed down to worship him.
Yes, everyone will bow down to him—
all who are on the way to the grave, unable to hold on to life.
30 Our descendants will serve him.
Those who are not yet born will be told about him.
31 Each generation will tell their children
about the good things the Lord has done.
