詩篇 71
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
一個老年人的祈禱
71 耶和華啊，我投靠了你，
求你使我永不蒙羞。
2 求你憑公義搭救我，
側耳聽我的懇求，拯救我。
3 求你成為保護我的磐石，
讓我可以隨時投靠你。
求你下令救我，
因為你是我的磐石和堡壘。
4 我的上帝啊，
求你從惡人手中拯救我，
從邪惡、殘暴之徒掌下拯救我。
5 主耶和華啊，你是我的盼望，
我從小就信靠你。
6 你使我出了母胎，
我從出生就依靠你，
我要永遠讚美你。
7 我的遭遇使許多人感到驚駭，
但你是我堅固的避難所。
8 我口中充滿對你的讚美，
終日述說你的榮耀。
9 我年老時，求你不要丟棄我；
我體力衰微時，求你不要離棄我。
10 我的仇敵議論我，
那些想殺害我的一起策劃陰謀，說：
11 「上帝已經丟棄了他。
去追趕、捉拿他吧，
因為無人會救他。」
12 上帝啊，不要遠離我；
我的上帝啊，求你快來幫助我！
13 願我的仇敵在羞辱中滅亡，
願那些害我的人抱愧蒙羞。
14 我必常常心懷盼望，
向你獻上更多的讚美。
15 雖然我無法測度你的公義和拯救之恩，
但我要終日傳揚你的作為。
16 主耶和華啊，
我要傳揚你大能的作為，
單單述說你的公義。
17 上帝啊，
我從小就受你的教導，
直到今日我仍傳揚你奇妙的作為。
18 上帝啊，
就是我年老髮白的時候，
求你也不要丟棄我，
好讓我把你的大能告訴下一代，世代相傳。
19 上帝啊，你的公義高達穹蒼，
你成就了奇妙大事。
上帝啊，有誰能像你？
20 你使我經歷了許多患難，
最終必使我重獲新生，
救我脫離死亡的深淵。
21 你必賜我更大的尊榮，
你必再次安慰我。
22 我的上帝啊，
我要彈琴讚美你的信實；
以色列的聖者啊，
我要伴隨著琴聲讚美你。
23 你救贖了我的靈魂，
我的口和靈魂都要歡呼歌頌你。
24 我要終日向人述說你的公義，
因為那些想害我的人已經蒙羞受辱。
Psalm 71
International Standard Version
A Prayer for Deliverance
71 In you, Lord, I take refuge;
let me never be humiliated.
2 Rescue and deliver me,[a] because you are righteous.
Turn your ear to me and save me.
3 Be my sheltering refuge where I may go continuously;
command my deliverance
for you are my rock and fortress.
4 My God, deliver me from the power of the wicked
and the grasp of ruthless practicers of evil.
5 For you are my hope, Lord God,
my security since I was young.
6 I depended on you since birth,[b]
when you brought me[c] from my mother’s womb;
I praise you continuously.
7 I have become an example to many
that you are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with your praise
and your splendor daily.
9 Don’t throw me away when I am old;
do not abandon me when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies talk against me;
those who seek to kill me plot together
11 and say, “God has abandoned him.
Run after him and seize him,
because there’s no deliverer.”
12 God, do not be distant from me.
My God, come quickly to help me.
13 Let my adversaries be ashamed and consumed;[d]
let those who seek my destruction
be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 As for me, I will hope continuously
and will praise you more and more.
15 I[e] will declare your righteousness
and your salvation every day,
though I do not fully understand
what the outcome will be.[f]
16 Lord God, I will come in the power of[g] your mighty acts,
remembering your righteousness—yours alone.
17 God, you taught me from my youth,
so I am still declaring your awesome deeds.
18 Also, when I reach old age and have gray hair,
God, do not forsake me,
until I have declared your power
to this generation
and your might to the next one.
19 Your many righteous deeds,[h] God, are great,
20 God, who can compare to you,
who caused me to experience[i] troubles
that were numerous and disastrous?
You will return to revive me
and lift me up from the depths of the earth.
21 You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again.
22 I also will praise you with the harp;
because of your faithfulness, my God,
I will praise you with the lyre—
Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you,
whose life you have redeemed.
24 Moreover, my tongue will speak all day about your justice;
for those who seek my destruction will be utterly humiliated.
