哀陈苦况,祈求 神拯救

大卫的诗,交给诗班长,调用“百合花”。

69  神啊!求你拯救我,

因为大水淹没了我。

我深陷在淤泥中,

没有立足之地;

我到了水深之处,

波涛漫过我身。

我因不住呼求而疲倦,我的喉咙发干;

我因等候我的 神,眼睛昏花。

那些无故恨我的,比我的头发还多;

无理与我为敌,要把我灭绝的,人数众多。

我没有抢夺过的,竟要我偿还。

 神啊!我的愚昧你是知道的,

我的罪愆不能向你隐瞒。

主万军之耶和华啊!

愿那些等候你的,不要因我蒙羞;

以色列的 神啊!

愿那些寻求你的,不要因我受辱。

然而,为了你的缘故,我忍受辱骂,

满面羞愧。

我的兄弟都疏远我,

我同母的兄弟把我当作外人。

因我为你的殿,心中迫切如同火烧;

辱骂你的人的辱骂,都落在我身上。

10 我哭泣禁食,

这竟成了我的羞辱。

11 我披上麻衣,

就成了他们取笑的对象。

12 坐在城门口的人对我议论纷纷,

我成了酒徒之歌。

13 但是,耶和华啊!

在悦纳的时候,我向你祷告;

 神啊!求你按着你丰盛的慈爱,

凭着你信实的拯救应允我。

14 求你救我脱离淤泥,

不要容我沉下去;

求你救我脱离那些恨我的人,

救我脱离深水。

15 求你不要让波涛淹没我,

不要让深水吞灭我,

也不要让深坑把我封闭。

16 耶和华啊!求你应允我,因为你的慈爱美善;

求你照着你丰盛的怜悯转脸垂顾我。

17 求你不要向你的仆人掩面;

求你快快应允我,因为我在困境之中。

18 求你亲近我,拯救我,

因我仇敌的缘故救赎我。

19 我所受的辱骂、欺凌和侮辱,你都知道,

我所有的敌人都在你面前。

20 辱骂伤了我的心,

我忧愁难过;

我希望有人同情,却一个也没有;

我希望有人安慰,还是找不到一个。

21 他们在我的食物中加上苦胆,

我渴了,他们把醋给我喝。

22 愿他们的筵席在他们面前变为网罗、

报应和陷阱(按照《马索拉文本》,“报应和陷阱”应作“在他们平安的时候,变为陷阱”;现参照《七十士译本》翻译。又按照《他耳根》或译:“愿他们的平安祭筵变为陷阱”)。

23 愿他们的眼睛昏花,不能看见;

愿他们的腰不停地战抖。

24 求你把你的恼怒倾倒在他们身上,

使你的烈怒追上他们。

25 愿他们的住处变为荒场;

愿他们的帐幕无人居住。

26 因为他们迫害你所击打的人,

嘲笑你所击伤的人的痛苦。

27 愿你在他们的惩罚上加上惩罚,

不容他们在你面前得称为义。

28 愿他们的名字从生命册上被涂抹,

不要让他们和义人一同被记录。

29 至于我,我是忧伤痛苦的人;

 神啊!愿你的救恩保护我。

30 我要用诗歌赞美 神的名,

以感谢尊他为大。

31 这就使耶和华喜悦,胜过献牛,

或是献有角有蹄的公牛。

32 困苦的人看见了就喜乐;

寻求 神的人哪!愿你们的心苏醒。

33 因为耶和华垂听了贫穷人的祷告,

也不藐视属他自己、正被囚禁的人。

34 愿天和地都赞美他,

愿海洋和海中一切生物都赞美他。

35 因为 神要拯救锡安,

要建造犹大的众城;

他的子民必在那里居住,并且拥有那地为业。

36 他众仆人的后裔都必承受那地为业,

喜爱他名的人要住在其中。

A Cry for Help

For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” A psalm of David.

69 God, ·save me [give me victory],
    because the water has risen to my neck [C the waters of chaos].
I’m sinking down into the ·mud [mire],
    and there is nothing to stand on.
I ·am in deep water [have come into the depths of the waters],
    and the flood ·covers [overwhelms] me.
I am ·tired [exhausted] from calling for help;
    my throat is ·sore [dry].
My eyes are ·tired [worn out] from ·waiting [hoping]
    for God to help me.
There are more people who hate me for no reason than hairs on my head;
    ·powerful [or many] enemies want to destroy me for no reason.
They make me ·pay back [return]
    what I did not steal.

God, you know ·what I have done wrong [my foolishness];
    I cannot hide my guilt from you.
Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts],
    do not let those who ·hope in [wait for] you be ashamed because of me.
God of Israel,
    do not let ·your worshipers [L those who seek you] be disgraced because of me.
For you, I carry this ·shame [reproach; scorn],
    and my face is covered with disgrace.
I am like a stranger to my closest relatives
    and a foreigner to my mother’s children.
My ·strong love [jealousy; passion; zeal] for your ·Temple [L house] ·completely controls [L consumes] me [John 2:17].
    ·When people insult you, it hurts me [L The reproaches/scorn of those who reproach/scorn you fall on me; Rom. 15:3].
10 When I ·cry [weep] and fast,
    they ·make fun of [reproach; scorn] me.
11 When I wear ·rough cloth [sackcloth; burlap; C a sign of grief],
    ·they joke about me [L I am a byword/proverb/joke to them].
12 ·They make fun of me in public places [L Those who sit in the gate complain about me],
    and the drunkards make up songs about me.

13 But I pray to you, Lord, ·for favor [or at an appropriate time].
God, because of your great ·love [loyalty], answer me.
    You are ·truly able [faithful] to ·save [give victory].
14 ·Pull [Protect] me from the ·mud [mire],
    and do not let me sink.
·Save [Protect] me from those who hate me
    and from the deep water.
15 Do not let the flood ·drown [overwhelm] me
    or the deep water swallow me
    or the ·grave [L pit] close its mouth over me.
16 Lord, answer me because your ·love [loyalty] is so good.
    Because of your ·great kindness [abundant compassion], turn to me.
17 Do not hide your face from me, your servant.
    I am in ·trouble [distress]. Hurry to ·help [L answer] me!
18 Come near and ·save [ransom] me;
    ·rescue [redeem] me from my enemies.

19 You ·see [know] my ·shame [reproach; scorn] and disgrace.
    ·You know all my enemies and what they have said [L The humiliation of all my foes is before you].
20 ·Insults [Reproach; Scorn] have broken my heart
    and ·left me weak [I am depressed].
I ·looked [hoped; waited] for ·sympathy [pity; consolation], but there was none;
    I found no one to comfort me.
21 They ·put [L gave me] poison in my food
    and gave me vinegar to drink for my thirst [Matt. 27:48; Mark 15:23, 36; Luke 23:36; John 19:29].

22 Let their ·own feasts cause their ruin [L table be a snare before them];
    ·let their feasts trap them and pay them back [or a trap for their friends].
23 Let their eyes be ·closed [L darkened] so they cannot see
    and their ·backs [L loins] ·be forever weak from troubles [L tremble all the time].
24 Pour your ·anger [wrath] out on them;
    let your anger ·catch up with [overtake] them.
25 May their ·place [camp] be ·empty [desolate];
    leave no one to live in their tents.
26 They ·chase after [persecute; pursue] those you have ·hurt [struck],
    and they talk about the pain of those you have wounded.
27 Charge them with ·crime after crime [L guilt on guilt],
    and do not ·let them have anything good [vindicate them].
28 ·Wipe [Blot] their names from the book of life [C kill them],
    and do not ·list them [write them down] with those who ·do what is right [are righteous].

29 I am ·sad [afflicted] and ·hurting [in pain].
God, ·save me [give me victory] and ·protect me [give me refuge].

30 I will praise ·God [L the name of God] in a song
    and will ·honor [magnify] him by giving thanks.
31 That will please the Lord more than ·offering him cattle [L an ox],
    more than sacrificing a bull with horns and hoofs.
32 Poor people will see this and be glad [C offering an ox or bull is expensive].
    ·Be encouraged, you who worship God [The hearts of those who seek God will be enlivened].
33 The Lord listens to those in need
    and does not ·look down on [despise] ·captives [prisoners].

34 Heaven and earth should praise him,
    the seas and ·everything in them [L all that swarms in them].
35 God will ·save Jerusalem [L give Zion victory; C the location of the Temple]
    and rebuild the cities of Judah.
Then people will live there and own the land.
36 The ·descendants [L seed] of his servants will inherit that land,
and those who love ·him [L his name] will live there.

Psalm 69[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David.

Save me, O God,
    for the waters(A) have come up to my neck.(B)
I sink in the miry depths,(C)
    where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
    the floods engulf me.
I am worn out calling for help;(D)
    my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,(E)
    looking for my God.
Those who hate me(F) without reason(G)
    outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,(H)
    those who seek to destroy me.(I)
I am forced to restore
    what I did not steal.

You, God, know my folly;(J)
    my guilt is not hidden from you.(K)

Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    may those who hope in you
    not be disgraced because of me;
God of Israel,
    may those who seek you
    not be put to shame because of me.
For I endure scorn(L) for your sake,(M)
    and shame covers my face.(N)
I am a foreigner to my own family,
    a stranger to my own mother’s children;(O)
for zeal for your house consumes me,(P)
    and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.(Q)
10 When I weep and fast,(R)
    I must endure scorn;
11 when I put on sackcloth,(S)
    people make sport of me.
12 Those who sit at the gate(T) mock me,
    and I am the song of the drunkards.(U)

13 But I pray to you, Lord,
    in the time of your favor;(V)
in your great love,(W) O God,
    answer me with your sure salvation.
14 Rescue me from the mire,
    do not let me sink;
deliver me from those who hate me,
    from the deep waters.(X)
15 Do not let the floodwaters(Y) engulf me
    or the depths swallow me up(Z)
    or the pit close its mouth over me.(AA)

16 Answer me, Lord, out of the goodness of your love;(AB)
    in your great mercy turn to me.
17 Do not hide your face(AC) from your servant;
    answer me quickly,(AD) for I am in trouble.(AE)
18 Come near and rescue me;
    deliver(AF) me because of my foes.

19 You know how I am scorned,(AG) disgraced and shamed;
    all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart
    and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
    for comforters,(AH) but I found none.(AI)
21 They put gall in my food
    and gave me vinegar(AJ) for my thirst.(AK)

22 May the table set before them become a snare;
    may it become retribution and[b] a trap.(AL)
23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
    and their backs be bent forever.(AM)
24 Pour out your wrath(AN) on them;
    let your fierce anger overtake them.
25 May their place be deserted;(AO)
    let there be no one to dwell in their tents.(AP)
26 For they persecute those you wound
    and talk about the pain of those you hurt.(AQ)
27 Charge them with crime upon crime;(AR)
    do not let them share in your salvation.(AS)
28 May they be blotted out of the book of life(AT)
    and not be listed with the righteous.(AU)

29 But as for me, afflicted and in pain—
    may your salvation, God, protect me.(AV)

30 I will praise God’s name in song(AW)
    and glorify him(AX) with thanksgiving.
31 This will please the Lord more than an ox,
    more than a bull with its horns and hooves.(AY)
32 The poor will see and be glad(AZ)
    you who seek God, may your hearts live!(BA)
33 The Lord hears the needy(BB)
    and does not despise his captive people.

34 Let heaven and earth praise him,
    the seas and all that move in them,(BC)
35 for God will save Zion(BD)
    and rebuild the cities of Judah.(BE)
Then people will settle there and possess it;
36     the children of his servants will inherit it,(BF)
    and those who love his name will dwell there.(BG)
