诗篇 44
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
祈求上帝保护
可拉后裔作的训诲诗，交给乐长。
44 上帝啊，
我们亲耳听过祖先讲述你在古时，
在我们祖先时代的作为。
2 你亲手赶出外族，
把我们的祖先安置在那里；
你击溃列邦，
使我们的祖先兴旺发达。
3 他们不是靠自己的刀剑征服那里，
不是靠自己的臂膀得胜，
而是靠你的权能、力量和恩惠，
因为你爱他们。
4 你是我的君王，我的上帝；
你让雅各得胜。
5 我们靠你击退敌人，
靠你的名践踏仇敌。
6 我不倚靠我的弓，
我的剑不能使我得胜。
7 只有你使我们战胜敌人，
使我们的仇敌蒙羞。
8 上帝啊，我们终日以你为荣，
我们永远赞美你。（细拉）
9 现在你却丢弃我们，
让我们受辱，
不再帮我们的军队作战。
10 你使我们在仇敌面前败退，
遭敌人掳掠。
11 你使我们如被宰杀的羊，
将我们分散在列国。
12 你把我们廉价卖掉，
视我们一文不值。
13 你使我们遭四邻辱骂，
被周围人讥讽、嘲笑。
14 你使我们成为列国的笑柄，
人们对我们连连摇头。
15 我终日受辱，满面羞愧，
16 因为咒骂和毁谤我的人讥笑我，仇敌报复我。
17 虽然这一切临到我们身上，
我们却没有忘记你，
也没有违背你的约。
18 我们对你没有异心，
也没有偏离你的道路。
19 你在豺狼出没的地方压碎我们，
使死亡的阴影笼罩我们。
20 倘若我们忘记我们的上帝，
或举手向外邦的神明祷告，
21 上帝怎会不知道呢？
祂洞悉人心中的秘密。
22 为了你，我们终日出生入死，
被视为待宰的羊。
23 主啊，求你醒来，
你为何沉睡？
求你起来，不要永远丢弃我们。
24 你为何掩面不理我们，
不理会我们所受的苦难和压迫？
25 我们扑倒在地，横卧在尘土中。
26 求你起来帮助我们，
施慈爱救赎我们。
诗篇 44
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
祈求 神一如昔日施行拯救
可拉子孙的训诲诗，交给诗班长。
44 神啊！你在古时，
在我们列祖的日子所作的事，
我们亲耳听见了，
我们的列祖也给我们述说过。
2 你曾亲手把列国赶出去，
却栽培了我们的列祖；
你曾苦待众民，
却使我们的列祖昌盛。
3 因为他们取得那地，不是靠自己的刀剑；
他们得胜，也不是靠自己的膀臂；
而是靠你的右手、你的膀臂和你脸上的光，
因为你喜悦他们。
4 神啊！你是我的王；
求你出令，使雅各得胜。
5 我们靠着你，必打倒我们的敌人；
靠着你的名，必践踏那些起来攻击我们的。
6 因为我不是倚靠我的弓，
我的刀剑也不能使我得胜。
7 但你使我们胜过了我们的敌人，
使憎恨我们的人都羞愧。
8 我们整天因 神夸耀，
我们要永远称赞你的名。
（细拉）
9 现在，你却弃绝我们，使我们受辱，
不再和我们的军队一同出征。
10 你使我们在敌人面前转身后退；
憎恨我们的人都任意抢掠。
11 你使我们像给人宰吃的羊，
把我们分散在列国中。
12 你把你的子民廉价出售；
他们的售价并没有使你得到利益。
13 你使我们成为邻居的羞辱，
成为我们四周的人讥笑和讽刺的对象。
14 你使我们在列国中成为话柄，
在万民中使人摇头。
15 我的羞辱整天在我面前，
我脸上的羞愧把我遮盖了；
16 都因那辱骂和毁谤的人的声音，
并因仇敌和报仇者的缘故。
17 这一切临到我们身上，我们却没有忘记你，
也没有违背你的约。
18 我们的心没有退后，
我们的脚步也没有偏离你的路。
19 但你竟在野狗之地把我们压伤了，
又以死亡的阴影笼罩我们。
20 如果我们忘记了我们 神的名，
或是向别神伸手祷告；
21 神不会查究这事吗？
因为他知道人心的隐秘。
22 为你的缘故，我们终日被置于死地；
人看我们如同将宰的羊。
23 主啊！求你醒来，为甚么还睡着呢？
求你起来，不要永远弃绝我们。
24 你为甚么掩面，
忘记了我们的苦难和压迫呢？
25 我们俯伏在尘土之上；
我们的身体紧贴地面。
26 求你起来帮助我们，
为了你慈爱的缘故救赎我们。
Psalm 44
Living Bible
44 1-2 O God, we have heard of the glorious miracles you did in the days of long ago. Our forefathers have told us how you drove the heathen nations from this land and gave it all to us, spreading Israel from one end of the country to the other. 3 They did not conquer by their own strength and skill, but by your mighty power and because you smiled upon them and favored them.
4 You are my King and my God. Decree victories for your people. 5 For it is only by your power and through your name that we tread down our enemies; 6 I do not trust my weapons. They could never save me. 7 Only you can give us the victory over those who hate us.
8 My constant boast is God. I can never thank you enough! 9 And yet for a time, O Lord, you have tossed us aside in dishonor and have not helped us in our battles. 10 You have actually fought against us and defeated us before our foes. Our enemies have invaded our land and pillaged the countryside. 11 You have treated us like sheep in a slaughter pen and scattered us among the nations. 12 You sold us for a pittance. You valued us at nothing at all. 13 The neighboring nations mock and laugh at us because of all the evil you have sent. 14 You have made the word Jew a byword of contempt and shame among the nations, disliked by all. 15-16 I am constantly despised, mocked, taunted, and cursed by my vengeful enemies.
17 And all this has happened, Lord, despite our loyalty to you. We have not violated your covenant. 18 Our hearts have not deserted you! We have not left your path by a single step. 19 If we had, we could understand your punishing us in the barren wilderness and sending us into darkness and death. 20 If we had turned away from worshiping our God and were worshiping idols, 21 would God not know it? Yes, he knows the secrets of every heart. 22 But that is not our case. For we are facing death threats constantly because of serving you! We are like sheep awaiting slaughter.
23 Waken! Rouse yourself! Don’t sleep, O Lord! Are we cast off forever? 24 Why do you look the other way? Why do you ignore our sorrows and oppression? 25 We lie face downward in the dust. 26 Rise up, O Lord, and come and help us. Save us by your constant love.
Psalm 44
King James Version
44 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
