诗篇 71
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
神是人自幼到老的倚靠
71 耶和華啊！我投靠你，
求你使我永不羞愧。
2 求你按著你的公義搭救我，救贖我；
求你留心聽我，拯救我。
3 求你作我避難的磐石，使我可以常來投靠；
你已經下令救我，
因為你是我的巖石、我的堅壘。
4 我的 神啊！求你救我脫離惡人的手，
脫離邪惡和殘暴的人的掌握，
5 因為你是我的盼望；
主耶和華啊！你是我自幼以來所倚靠的。
6 我自出母胎就倚賴你，
把我從母腹中領出來的就是你，
我要常常讚美你。
7 眾人都以我為怪，
但你是我堅固的避難所。
8 我要滿口讚美你，
我終日頌揚你的榮美。
9 我年老的時候，求你不要丟棄我；
我氣力衰弱的時候，求你不要離棄我。
10 因為我的仇敵議論我；
那些窺探著要害我性命的，一同商議，
11 說：“ 神已經離棄了他，
你們追趕他，拿住他吧！
因為沒有人搭救他。”
12 神啊！求你不要遠離我；
我的 神啊！求你快來幫助我。
13 願那些控告我的，
都羞愧滅亡；
願那些謀求害我的，
都蒙羞受辱。
14 至於我，我要常常仰望你，
要多多讚美你。
15 我的口要述說你的公義，
終日講述你的救恩，
儘管我不知道它們的數量。
16 我要來述說主耶和華大能的事；
我要提說你獨有的公義。
17 神啊！我自幼以來，你就教導我；
直到現在，我還是宣揚你奇妙的作為。
18 神啊！到我年老髮白的時候，
求你仍不要離棄我，
等我把你的能力向下一代傳揚，
把你的大能向後世所有的人傳揚。
19 神啊！你的公義達到高天，
你曾經行過大事，
神啊！有誰像你呢？
20 你使我們經歷了很多苦難，
你必使我們再活過來，
你必把我們從地的深處救上來。
21 你必增加我的尊榮，
並轉過來安慰我。
22 我的 神啊！
我要彈琴稱讚你，稱讚你的信實；
以色列的聖者啊！
我要鼓瑟歌頌你。
23 我歌頌你的時候，我的嘴唇要歡呼；
我的靈魂，就是你所救贖的，也要歡呼。
24 我的舌頭也要終日講述你的公義，
因為那些謀求害我的人已經蒙羞受辱了。
Psalm 71
EasyEnglish Bible
A song for old age
71 Lord, I have come to you to keep me safe.
Never let me become ashamed.
2 You always do what is right,
so please rescue me!
Listen to me, and come to save me!
3 Be a rock where I can hide.
Be a strong place where I can be safe.
You are my high rock and my strong, safe place.
4 My God, save me from the power of wicked people,
so that those cruel people cannot catch me.
5 My Lord, I trust you to help me.
I have trusted in you, Lord,
since I was young.
6 Since I was born,
you have been there to help me.
You have taken care of me
since my mother gave birth to me.
So I will always praise you!
7 When people see me,
they see trouble!
But you are a strong place to keep me safe.
8 I can never stop praising you!
All the time, I speak about your glory!
9 Do not chase me away when I am old.
When I am no longer strong,
do not turn away from me.[a]
10 For my enemies say things against me.
They think of ways that they can kill me.
11 They say, ‘God has turned away from him.
Run after him and catch him,
for nobody will rescue him.’
12 God, do not stay far away from me.
My God, come quickly to help me!
13 Make my enemies become completely ashamed.
They speak against me and they want to hurt me.
So let them fall with great shame!
14 But as for me, I will always wait for you to help me.
I will continue to praise you more and more.
15 I will tell people that you always do what is right.
I will always speak about your power to save people.
But you have done more than I will ever know about!
16 I will tell about the great things that you have done,
Almighty Lord.
I will tell everyone that you are righteous.
You, only you, are righteous.
17 God, you have taught me since I was young.
I still tell people about the great things that you have done.
18 And even when I am old and my hair is grey,
do not turn away from me, God.
I need to tell the people still to be born
about your great strength.
My descendants need to know about your power.
19 Your justice reaches beyond the sky above!
You have done such great things, God.
There is nobody like you!
20 You have caused me to have many bad troubles.
But you will make my life strong again.
You will lift me back out
from this deep hole under the earth.[b]
21 You will make me great again,
so that people respect me.
You will turn back to me,
so that I feel strong.
22 I will pick up my harp
and I will sing to thank you.
I will praise you, my God,
because you do what you promise.
I will sing to praise you, the Holy One of Israel,
with the music of a lyre.[c]
23 I will shout aloud with joy,
as I praise you with music!
I will sing songs to praise you,
because you have rescued me.
24 I will talk about your justice all the time.
The people who want to hurt me
will become confused and ashamed.
