 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。

求你按著你的公義搭救我,救贖我;

求你留心聽我,拯救我。

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。

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,

因為你是我的盼望;

主耶和華啊!你是我自幼以來所倚靠的。

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。

眾人都以我為怪,

但你是我堅固的避難所。

我要滿口讚美你,

我終日頌揚你的榮美。

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。

O God, Do Not Forsake Me

71 (A)In You, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge;
Let me never be ashamed.
(B)In Your righteousness deliver me and protect me;
(C)Incline Your ear to me and save me.
(D)Be to me a rock of (E)habitation to which I may continually come;
You have given the (F)command to save me,
For You are (G)my [a]rock and my fortress.
(H)Protect me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the [b]grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man,
For You are my (I)hope;
O Lord Yahweh, You are my (J)trust from my youth.
[c]By You I have been (K)sustained from my birth;
You are He who (L)took me from my mother’s womb;
My (M)praise is continually [d]of You.

I have become a (N)marvel to many,
For You are (O)my strong refuge.
My (P)mouth is filled with Your praise
And with (Q)Your beauty all day long.
Do not cast me off in the (R)time of old age;
Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies have spoken [e]against me;
And those who (S)watch my [f]life (T)have counseled together,
11 Saying, “(U)God has forsaken him;
Pursue and seize him, for there is (V)no one to deliver.”

12 O God, (W)do not be far from me;
O my God, (X)hasten to my help!
13 Let those who accuse my soul be (Y)ashamed and consumed;
Let them be (Z)wrapped up with reproach and dishonor, who (AA)seek [g]to do me evil.
14 But as for me, I will (AB)wait continually,
And will [h](AC)praise You yet more and more.
15 My (AD)mouth shall recount Your righteousness
And (AE)Your salvation all day long;
For I (AF)do not know the [i]sum of them.
16 I will come (AG)with the mighty deeds of Lord Yahweh;
I will (AH)bring to remembrance Your righteousness, Yours alone.

17 O God, You (AI)have taught me from my youth,
And I still (AJ)declare Your wondrous deeds.
18 And even when I am (AK)old and gray, O God, do not forsake me,
Until I (AL)declare Your [j]strength to this generation,
Your might to all who are to come.
19 [k]For Your (AM)righteousness, O God, reaches to the [l]heavens,
You who have (AN)done great things;
O God, (AO)who is like You?
20 You, who have (AP)shown [m]me many troubles and [n]evils,
Will (AQ)revive [o]me again,
And will bring [p]me up again (AR)from the depths of the earth.
21 May You increase my (AS)greatness
And turn to (AT)comfort me.

22 I will also praise You with [q](AU)a harp,
Even Your [r]truth, O my God;
To You I will sing praises with the (AV)lyre,
O (AW)Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips will (AX)sing for joy when I sing praises to You;
And my (AY)soul, which You have redeemed.
24 My (AZ)tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long;
For they are (BA)ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek [s]to do me evil.
