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。
詩篇 44
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
祈求上帝保護
可拉後裔作的訓誨詩，交給樂長。
44 上帝啊，
我們親耳聽過祖先講述你在古時，
在我們祖先時代的作為。
2 你親手趕出外族，
把我們的祖先安置在那裡；
你擊潰列邦，
使我們的祖先興旺發達。
3 他們不是靠自己的刀劍征服那裡，
不是靠自己的臂膀得勝，
而是靠你的權能、力量和恩惠，
因為你愛他們。
4 你是我的君王，我的上帝；
你讓雅各得勝。
5 我們靠你擊退敵人，
靠你的名踐踏仇敵。
6 我不倚靠我的弓，
我的劍不能使我得勝。
7 只有你使我們戰勝敵人，
使我們的仇敵蒙羞。
8 上帝啊，我們終日以你為榮，
我們永遠讚美你。（細拉）
9 現在你卻丟棄我們，
讓我們受辱，
不再幫我們的軍隊作戰。
10 你使我們在仇敵面前敗退，
遭敵人擄掠。
11 你使我們如被宰殺的羊，
將我們分散在列國。
12 你把我們廉價賣掉，
視我們一文不值。
13 你使我們遭四鄰辱罵，
被周圍人譏諷、嘲笑。
14 你使我們成為列國的笑柄，
人們對我們連連搖頭。
15 我終日受辱，滿面羞愧，
16 因為咒罵和譭謗我的人譏笑我，仇敵報復我。
17 雖然這一切臨到我們身上，
我們卻沒有忘記你，
也沒有違背你的約。
18 我們對你沒有異心，
也沒有偏離你的道路。
19 你在豺狼出沒的地方壓碎我們，
使死亡的陰影籠罩我們。
20 倘若我們忘記我們的上帝，
或舉手向外邦的神明禱告，
21 上帝怎會不知道呢？
祂洞悉人心中的秘密。
22 為了你，我們終日出生入死，
被視為待宰的羊。
23 主啊，求你醒來，
你為何沉睡？
求你起來，不要永遠丟棄我們。
24 你為何掩面不理我們，
不理會我們所受的苦難和壓迫？
25 我們仆倒在地，橫臥在塵土中。
26 求你起來幫助我們，
施慈愛救贖我們。
Psalm 44
The Message
44 1-3 We’ve been hearing about this, God,
all our lives.
Our fathers told us the stories
their fathers told them,
How single-handedly you weeded out the godless
from the fields and planted us,
How you sent those people packing
but gave us a fresh start.
We didn’t fight for this land;
we didn’t work for it—it was a gift!
You gave it, smiling as you gave it,
delighting as you gave it.
4-8 You’re my King, O God—
command victories for Jacob!
With your help we’ll wipe out our enemies,
in your name we’ll stomp them to dust.
I don’t trust in weapons;
my sword won’t save me—
But it’s you, you who saved us from the enemy;
you made those who hate us lose face.
All day we parade God’s praise—
we thank you by name over and over.
9-12 But now you’ve walked off and left us,
you’ve disgraced us and won’t fight for us.
You made us turn tail and run;
those who hate us have cleaned us out.
You delivered us as sheep to the butcher,
you scattered us to the four winds.
You sold your people at a discount—
you made nothing on the sale.
13-16 You made people on the street,
people we know, poke fun and call us names.
You made us a joke among the godless,
a cheap joke among the rabble.
Every day I’m up against it,
my nose rubbed in my shame—
Gossip and ridicule fill the air,
people out to get me crowd the street.
17-19 All this came down on us,
and we’ve done nothing to deserve it.
We never betrayed your Covenant: our hearts
were never false, our feet never left your path.
Do we deserve torture in a den of jackals?
or lockup in a black hole?
20-22 If we had forgotten to pray to our God
or made fools of ourselves with store-bought gods,
Wouldn’t God have figured this out?
We can’t hide things from him.
No, you decided to make us martyrs,
lambs assigned for sacrifice each day.
23-26 Get up, God! Are you going to sleep all day?
Wake up! Don’t you care what happens to us?
Why do you bury your face in the pillow?
Why pretend things are just fine with us?
And here we are—flat on our faces in the dirt,
held down with a boot on our necks.
Get up and come to our rescue.
If you love us so much, Help us!
Psalm 44
Common English Bible
Psalm 44
For the music leader. A maskil[a] of the Korahites.
44 We have heard it, God, with our own ears;
our ancestors told us about it:
about the deeds you did in their days,
in days long past.
2 You, by your own hand, removed all the nations,
but you planted our ancestors.
You crushed all the peoples,
but you set our ancestors free.
3 No, not by their own swords
did they take possession of the land—
their own arms didn’t save them.
No, it was your strong hand, your arm,
and the light of your face
because you were pleased with them.
4 It’s you, God! You who are my king,
the one who orders salvation for Jacob.
5 We’ve pushed our foes away by your help;
we’ve trampled our enemies by your name.
6 No, I won’t trust in my bow;
my sword won’t save me
7 because it’s you who saved us from our foes,
you who put those who hate us to shame.
8 So we glory in God at all times
and give thanks to your name forever. Selah
9 But now you’ve rejected and humiliated us.
You no longer accompany our armies.
10 You make us retreat from the enemy;
our adversaries plunder us.
11 You’ve handed us over like sheep for butchering;
you’ve scattered us among the nations.
12 You’ve sold your people for nothing,
not even bothering to set a decent price.
13 You’ve made us a joke to all our neighbors;
we’re mocked and ridiculed by everyone around us.
14 You’ve made us a bad joke to the nations,
something to be laughed at by all peoples.
15 All day long my disgrace confronts me,
and shame covers my face
16 because of the voices of those
who make fun of me and bad-mouth me,
because of the enemy who is out for revenge.
17 All this has come upon us,
but we haven’t forgotten you
or broken your covenant.
18 Our hearts haven’t turned away,
neither have our steps strayed from your way.
19 But you’ve crushed us in the place where jackals[b] live,
covering us with deepest darkness.
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God
or spread out our hands to some strange deity,
21 wouldn’t God have discovered it?
After all, God knows every secret of the heart.
22 No, God, it’s because of you that we are getting killed every day—
it’s because of you that we are considered sheep ready for slaughter.
23 Wake up! Why are you sleeping, Lord?
Get up! Don’t reject us forever!
24 Why are you hiding your face,
forgetting our suffering and oppression?
25 Look: we’re going down to the dust;
our stomachs are flat on the ground!
26 Stand up! Help us!
Save us for the sake of your faithful love.
