诗篇 31
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
于困厄中仰望 神的拯救
大卫的诗，交给诗班长。
31 耶和华啊！我投靠你；
求你使我永不羞愧，
求你按着你的公义搭救我。
2 求你留心听我，赶快拯救我；
求你作我坚固的盘石，
作拯救我的坚垒。
3 因为你是我的岩石、我的坚垒；
为你名的缘故，求你带领我，引导我。
4 求你救我脱离人为我暗设的网罗，
因为你是我的避难所。
5 我把我的灵魂交在你手里，
耶和华信实的 神啊！你救赎了我。
6 我恨恶那些信奉虚无偶像的人；
至于我，我却倚靠耶和华。
7 我要因你的慈爱欢喜快乐，
因为你看见了我的困苦，
知道我心中的痛苦；
8 你没有把我交在仇敌的手里，
你使我的脚站稳在宽阔之地。
9 耶和华啊！求你恩待我，因为我在患难之中；
我的眼睛因愁烦昏花，
我的身、我的心也都衰残。
10 我的生命因愁苦耗尽，
我的岁月在叹息中消逝，
我的力量因罪孽衰退，
我的骨头也枯干。
11 我因众仇敌的缘故，成了众人羞辱的对象，
在我的邻居面前更是这样；
认识我的人都惧怕我；
在街上看见我的，都避开我。
12 我被人完全忘记，如同死了的人，
我好象破碎的器皿，
13 我听见许多人的毁谤，
四周都有惊吓；
他们一同商议攻击我，
图谋要取我的性命。
14 但是，耶和华啊！我还是倚靠你；
我说：“你是我的 神。”
15 我的一生都在你的手中；
求你救我脱离我仇敌的手，和那些迫害我的人。
16 求你用你的脸光照你的仆人，
以你的慈爱拯救我。
17 耶和华啊！求你不要使我羞愧，
因为我向你呼求；
求你使恶人羞愧，使他们在阴间静寂无声。
18 那些逞骄傲，态度轻慢，
说话狂傲攻击义人的，
愿他们说谎的嘴唇哑而无声。
19 耶和华啊！你为敬畏你的人所珍藏的好处，
为投靠你的人在世人面前所施行的恩惠，
是多么丰盛。
20 你把他们藏在你面前的隐密处，
免得他们陷在世人的阴谋里；
又把他们保护在帐棚内，以免落在口舌的争竞中。
21 耶和华是应当称颂的，
因为我在被围困的城里，
他就向我显出他奇妙的慈爱。
22 至于我，我曾在惊恐中说：
“我从你眼前被隔绝”；
可是我向你呼求的时候，
你还是垂听了我恳求的声音。
23 耶和华的众圣民哪！你们都要爱耶和华；
耶和华保护诚实的人，
却严厉地报应行事骄傲的人。
24 所有仰望耶和华的人，
你们都要刚强，坚固你们的心。
Psalm 31
Easy-to-Read Version
To the director: A song of David.
31 Lord, I come to you for protection.
Don’t let me be disappointed.
You always do what is right, so save me.
2 Listen to me.
Come quickly and save me.
Be my Rock, my place of safety.
Be my fortress and protect me!
3 Yes, you are my Rock and my protection.
For the good of your name, lead me and guide me.
4 Save me from the traps my enemy has set.
You are my place of safety.
5 Lord, you are the God we can trust.
I put my life[a] in your hands.
Save me!
6 I hate those who worship false gods.
I trust only in the Lord.
7 Your kindness makes me so happy.
You have seen my suffering.
You know about the troubles I have.
8 You will not let my enemies take me.
You will free me from their traps.
9 Lord, I have many troubles, so be kind to me.
I have cried until my eyes hurt.
My throat and stomach are aching.
10 Because of my sin, my life is ending in grief;
my years are passing away in sighs of pain.
My life is ending in weakness.
My strength is draining away.
11 My enemies despise me,
and even my neighbors have turned away.
When my friends see me in the street,
they turn the other way.
They are afraid to be around me.
12 People want to forget me like someone already dead,
thrown away like a broken dish.
13 I hear them whispering about me.
They have turned against me and plan to kill me.
14 Lord, I trust in you.
You are my God.
15 My life is in your hands.
Save me from those who are persecuting me.
16 Please welcome and accept your servant.[b]
Be kind to me and save me.
17 Lord, I am praying to you.
Don’t let me be disappointed.
The wicked are the ones who should be disappointed.
Let them go to the grave in silence.
18 Those evil people brag
and tell lies about those who do right.
They are so proud now,
but their lying lips will be silent.
19 Lord, you have hidden away many wonderful things for your followers.
You have done so many good things for those who trust in you.
You have blessed them so that all the world can see.
20 Others make plans to hurt them.
They say such bad things about them.
But you hide your people in your shelter and protect them.
21 Praise the Lord, because he showed me how wonderful his faithful love is
when the city was surrounded by enemies.
22 I was afraid and said, “I am in a place where he cannot see me.”
But I prayed to you, and you heard my loud cries for help.
23 Love the Lord, all of you who are his loyal followers.
The Lord protects those who are loyal to him.
But he punishes those who brag about their own power.
He gives them all the punishment they deserve.
24 Be strong and brave,
all of you who are waiting for the Lord’s help.
